“House Of Cards” Is No “NCIS”!
The Atlantic reminds us: ‘Popularity has become both easier to measure and harder to measure at the same time precisely because there are so many metrics. The most essayed-about show might be “Girls.” The most tweeted-about show is, statistically, “Pretty Little Liars.” The most talked-about, right now, is “House of Cards.” But the most popular show (which is barely essayed-about, rarely tweeted-about, and hardly talked-about) is “NCIS,” whose audience is literally as big as those three other shows—combined … times two.’ And I’ve still never seen it.
