Fans of the Battlestar Galactica series have to deal with the reality that the show has aired its final episode.

Why aren’t networks focusing more on measurement of DVR/TiVo recordings or views from online episodes? This contributes to the question that needs much attention: Why is Nielsen still the TV ratings standard?
