DVR on the other hand includes a much higher portion of the primetime audience as more people own DVR devices than Nielson devices. DVR allows people to watch the programs they want to watch on their own time instead of working with the primetime schedule. Think of it this way, Fox currently dominates DVR with all of the top five shows, Terminator being among them.

Also, the numbers for online viewership must also be taken into account. The viewership numbers for both Hulu and the Fox website have not been released, but I'm willing to bet that TSCC is in the top five most watched shows. Streaming viewership is the way of the future, as it allows flexibility for viewers and it provides better advertising as people are more likely to remember one thirty-second ad every five to ten minutes than if they were watching multiple ads in five to ten increments.

My final argument is in regards to downloads. Again, Terminator has a respectable place in the online downloads in iTunes and Amazon.com. It's also the fourth most torrented show, and while that may be of concern, keep in mind that most of those downloads are from people outside the States who cannot watch it on television or access it on streaming websites. This indicates that there is already a devoted following not just here but abroad and I predict that Terminator will have steady viewership once it airs in countries like England.

In conclusion, I hope you take this letter of appeal to consideration when making a decision on the fate of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. It is a very entertaining, well-written, and often thought-provoking show of a caliber not often seen in this day and age. It is my hope that your network give us the chance to continue to enjoy the imaginative writing of Josh Friedman's work and talented actors that make up the phenomenon that is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
