I think this is stupid reasoning.

It seems like more often than not those 20 million loyal viewers turn out to be 10 million loyal viewers and 10 million couch potatos. And the 10 million loyal viewers move to the new night, except that some of them decide not to bother, so it's 8 million, and then the show is cancelled for lack of interest.
Although I guess getting cancelled that way is better than getting cancelled after one show--Emily's Reasons Why Not to Watch, indeed.
