Other than a dyad of tween - driven clunkers at the bottom of the list — and the people who forget to take “ Heroes ” off their DVR in 2007 — this is a comprehensive list of some of the good , least watched tv set of the year . Which make sensory faculty , given the way the ratings are structure . A million the great unwashed DVRing “ brainsick Men ” is going to make a much bigger departure to that show ’s clock time - shifted rating than a million people DVRing “ American Idol . ” So what you ’re left with is essentially ten display with passionate , technologically savvy buff bases . Though it looks like in a couple of these cases , not quite passionate enough to pull through the show from extinction . Sorry , “ Dollhouse . ” I should ’ve done more to spread the word .
