  1. *facepalm*
    People, flipping through channels on their satellite or cable DO NOT COUNT for ratings. The actual number of people who watched this is still high – but probably around the 50’000 mark max. Not up to 1.83 million. HAHA!

  2. 1.38/1.27 mil are the number who watched, not who flipped past. Wishing it weren’t true doesn’t make it false.

  3. I wish this would show in the Boston market. Cherry is still a cult-like figure here, from his stint coaching the Bruins.
