Jack,

Nielsen Ratings (the TV Rating company) monitors about 5000 people (and their TV watching habits) to supply ratings for all the shows on most of the networks for the whole United States. So, as long as you have a working and proven statistical model, and a good sample, it works. How do I know, ever seen anyone challenging Nielsen Ratings for a show? I haven't.
