Agent Carter, Chicago Med, The Flash
For the second straight day, we’re here to write about some primetime ratings that are actually more good news than bad. Isn’t it nice when things are a little bit more positive? We like to think so. The winners – We’ll start with the sort-of good news: “Agent Carter” improved to a 0.8 rating in the […]
Jimmy Kimmel may not be done with awards-shows just yet. The Primetime Emmy Awards tend to alternate networks on a four-year basis, and with the show coming to ABC later this year, it already makes sense that they would hire their king of late-night. According to a new report from Variety, Kimmel is in talks […]
Fox’s “24: Legacy” reboot may not exactly be anything more than a pilot right now, but they are still stocking up on some familiar faces. Miranda Otto (“Homeland”) and Corey Hawkins (“The Walking Dead”) had already signed on to the series, with the latter playing the new lead in Eric Carter; now, we’ve also officially […]
Here’s a pair of renewal announcements that really could not be more different from one another. “Superstore” – We start with the America Ferrera series, which in the wake of airing its season 1 finale, is officially coming back for another go. Here is what NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke had to say in a statement: “We’re […]
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, The X-Files
While we’ve had quite a bit of negativity to discuss as of late when it comes to primetime TV ratings, there is actually quite a bit of good news coming in from primetime last night! Sure, not every show was a success story, but there were at least a few who have something to smile […]
Madam Secretary, The Good Wife
Sunday night was certainly an anomaly when it comes to TV scheduling, mostly because there are two specials in here that sort-of cloud things and make the ratings picture a little trickier to understand. It’s hard to guess just what some network’s expectations are for them, so with that in mind, we have to sort […]
We still remember vividly when a certain MTV show in “Jersey Shore” managed to make a big splash almost out of nowhere, and really took much of American pop-culture by storm. At its peak the show was generating better ratings in the 18-49 demographic than almost any other show, the cast members had catch-phrases, and […]
Call the Midwife, The Night Manager
Going into the premiere of “The Night Manager” on BBC One, it was pretty easy to assume that it was not going to get the same sort of ratings that we’re seeing from “Call the Midwife.” However, expectations were that the series starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie (which was also produced by AMC and […]
Talking Dead, The Walking Dead
Tonight’s new episode of “The Walking Dead” has a heck of a lot of hype around it, which is for the most part expected when you consider that it is following up one of the most intense episodes that the AMC show has ever put on. As for now who is joining Chris Hardwick on the […]
This week has not been a great one when it comes to primetime shows getting good ratings. For the most part, there have only been a few series here and there that have pulled it off, and Friday was no exception. We’re just glad that at least a couple of shows on the night posted improvements […]
