Anyone else have a show they hate so much they change it so your viewership doesn’t count

I don’t even know if that’s how the viewership ratings work but there are a couple shows that I will change the tv when I’m not even watching just to make sure my tv doesn’t go towards the ratings count. I’ll be in the kitchen doing random stuff and hear Samantha Bees show come on the tv so I’ll run as fast as I can to change it to make sure I don’t get counted in her ratings. There is a couple shows I do this with . Anyone else do this?

That must be a WNBA type situation

Well at least you pointed it out yourself, but no, that is not how ratings are tabulated.

I’ll put on the office for background noise, the second I hear the Daily show come on I change it knowing that he’ll have 1 less viewer. Not that it makes a difference to him.

What kind of philistines still pay for cable TV? Shows you don’t watch on channels you don’t need filled with commercials for craw you don’t want, and on a time schedule that isn’t yours?

I wish my life was so simple. Seriously, worried about a tick towards ratings for/against a show?!?

There is a talk show that immediately follows The Office on Comedy Central. The host is that loser Trevor guy. Sometimes I leave the room without changing the channel and it pisses me off.

Any of the 5:30 national news programs. It's straight to Forensic Files to watch an episode for the 20th time.

The episode after Trump winning was actually decent. Several characters were allowed to express legitimate reasons for supporting Trump. They weren’t the usual uneducated, redneck Trump supporter the left loves to showcase.
