TV Ratings I forgot to mention Virtuality last week. Not that it would have helped, apparently. It was a back-door pilot with the potential for a series to come. But I doubt it given these ratings.
Just so you know, my DVR is catching the Wipeout "repeats" on Saturday, and they're episodes from last season.

Sometimes it feels like The Simpsons just tries to hard to be relevant and latch onto whatever the latest craze is, making the entire episode a one-note joke. This felt like one of those episodes.
