Even with the revolution in TV viewing, ratings still matter
The revolution will not only be televised: Television itself is undergoing a revolution.
Look at what's coming down the pike (some of which is already here): Pay-per-view CSI and NCIS episodes via cable. On-demand airings of Law & Order: SVU via satellite. Lost downloads on iTunes. Using your TiVo to put TV episodes on your iPod or gaming device. The Daily Show on your cell phone.
The fact is, most networks are only starting to figure out how to make money off low-rated but much-loved shows such as Arrested Development, which is considered a network failure because it pulls in "only" 4.3 million or so viewers per outing.(from Chicago Tribune).

2005 Ovation Awards Awarded
Something old and something blue (and grisly) were the surprise favorites Monday at the 2005 Ovation Awards, which honor excellence in Southern California theater.
Taking home four awards each were Fullerton Civic Light Opera's original staging of the perennial blockbuster Miss Saigon and Lost Angels Theatre Company's small-theater production of Killer Joe, Tracy Letts' brutal comedy(from Los Angeles Times).
