Remember, if you can, watch in real time, tweet in real time, etc. If you're recording the episode to watch later, it doesn't count in the ratings. In that case, watch On Demand, or on Hulu, or at the NBC website. Those are the numbers that matter to the network because those are the numbers that matter to their advertisers.
