[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 332368, member: 57984"] Interestingly, despite stories that the ratings surged after Bobby came back, versus stories that ratings dropped 10% when Bobby came back (via The Dream) the truth is that the ratings stayed almost exactly the same... Yes, the ranking dropped from #6 to #11, but that's misleading because the actual viewer numbers were virtually identical for both years. I guess we all have narratives we "prefer" and repeat, but while we have a right to our own opinions, facts are different issue. Season 10 (as per DVD count) was indeed shot on 35mm film, too, but it looked like shoddy video because of the cheapy post-production process (which is hopefully being corrected presently, 35 years after the fact). And both seasonal counts (miniseries thru S13 versus S1 thru 14) have existed from the very beginning -- as any investigation of old CBS press releases or TV GUIDEs will show. So while it gets confusing, and most of us have one count we like better (I, myself, don't really care, except that it requires more typing) neither seasonal count qualifies as "original".
