thanks but is there like a program or sumthin i could use.
Its just that i live in Australia so i cant really use that site.

sorry can't help you, but maybe one of the Australian peeps can help, I'd check google, sure they have something smilier tvguide.au or something

o well can anybody else help me?

do you mean "ratings" as in age recommendations or the number of people who view it?

the number of people who view it

this is how it's done in the u.s. it's a random poll of people's viewing habits, which is supposed to reflect the larger population-- http://www.nielsenmedia.com/whatratingsmean/index.html

there used to be an australian version of the nielsen tv ratings-- http://www.nielsenmedia.com.au/product.asp?ProductID=27

but i believe OzTAM is the only significant television ratings firm in australia now--

it seems the australian tv industry has been reluctant to place as much importance on a polling system as the u.s. has, though.

thanks dude thats a great help
