I totally agree. I think we need to establish an average range of views that top shows, popular shows, and average shows get.

Personally, I think the top popular shows should get an average of 3-4.5 million views per episode. And then sometimes, very rarely (like once a season), they could have an episode in the upper 2 million range because you know, every show gets a bad night at some point. Then sometimes, not too often, they can get an episode that is over 4.5 million, possibly almost touching 5 million, because they have their really good nights too where everyone wants to watch the episode.

Maybe the regularly popular shows should get an average of 3-4 million views. A little over 4 million on good nights and somewhere in the 2 million range on not so good nights.

I think average shows, like you said, should get somewhere between 2-3 millions. Somewhere in the 3 million range on good nights and somewhere in the 1 million range on bad nights.

I think the #1 top show should generally have the same average of 3-4.5 million only that show would never really go into the 2 million range, it would stay in the mid/upper 3 million range, and it'd reach over 4.5 million views more than the other TV shows.

Those are just my personal ideas about how it could work. :) I think one hour specials should just take the good night number and exaggerate it a bit (so like an average show one hour special could have around 3.6 or 3.7). =)
