Growing up watching TV i always remember hearing about the Nielson ratings and how a small percentage of American households decide what the rest of us watched. I believe they are still a thing.

Growing up, for whatever reason i always wanted to be a Nielson family. I don't even know if they had that in Canada yet in my youth of the 80's. Given that most of us seem to enjoy taking surveys, did you have dreams like me of helping to decide what staid on the air and what was cancelled? Yes
