Columnist wrong, shows doing fine

I’d like to correct columnist Jacquelyne Froeber’s column, “New reality shows another sign of TV wasteland” (SN 5/16).

In her column, Froeber said that, like most reality shows, the ratings of “Survivor” were down, when in actuality the ratings for “Survivor: Marquesas” are up quite a bit from the last season. The latest “Survivor” edition has been consistently pulling in solid ratings among the 10 most-watched shows of the season,

According to Nielsen ratings, “Survivor: Marquesas” audience is up nearly 10 percent over its predecessor, averaging 22.5 million viewers to Africa’s 20.7 million.
