The past two weeks have in many ways become fright weeks for some out there who have to plan out the schedule. Why is that? It’s become routine to just see shows start off with horrendous numbers, which really does not speak well for their future. With that, let’s look at Fox’s woeful lineup. […]
“Unforgettable” is a show that seems to be living up to its name, at least when it comes to the discussions that the producers are having with networks. No one seems to be letting it go! It was canceled once by CBS, then brought back for a summer run, and then canceled there before A&E […]
Let’s start this particular daily ratings article with a key observation: Did anyone really think that we were going to see big ratings right away for “Code Black” on CBS? It’s hard to really imagine that. There are approximately a million medical dramas on TV right now, and while the goal for this one may […]
Is the next big thing really the same old thing? If you walk up to any major network executive with this question, there is a very good chance that they are going to respond by opening a portfolio stuffed with eight or nine properties that they are looking to revitalize.

We are living in the age of the DVR, and with that in mind, live+3 ratings are becoming increasingly important to gauge whether or not a show has the potential to go on past its original episode order. The ratings are in now for “Heroes: Reborn” in this measure, and the two-hour premiere surged all […]
Starz is in the middle of what we would call a renaissance, as many of its series are experiencing great ratings and also critical acclaim. “Power” is at the moment one of its network champions, given that it combines great rating with intense storytelling and a wonderfully diverse cast. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is one […]
One of the reasons that we have been fascinated with the ratings for “Fear the Walking Dead” has been seeing where the leveling-off point was going to be for the show. AMC debuted it with expectations through the roof, and with viewers more than aware that it was going to be premiering. This is not […]
