Despite the sometimes serious nature of broadcast television one station has managed to maintain it's giggly audience. In a recent article posted March 28, 2007 for the New York Times, Comedy Central's prime-time show ratings have increased 12 months in a row with 70 percent of its viewers being male. Shows like "South Park," and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," continue to attract audiences and attention for the network. Just recently, a new line-up of shows including, "The Colbert Report," and "The Sarah Silverman Program," with its sarcastic humor have scored some of the best first-season ratings in the channel's history.
My opinion is simply that I love Comedy Central. I wish this article would have mentioned The Dave Chappelle Show which I am sure raised ratings when it was airing brand spanking new episodes earlier in the year. I hope that Comedy Central will continue to keep its watchers laughing.
