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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
We’re still waiting to know for certain whether or not the “Chicago PD” spin-off “Chicago Law” is going to happen, but in the event that it does, we now know the first person who will be a part of the cast: Philip Winchester. Sources confirm that the recent star of “The Player” is the first official […]
Are we starting to hit the spring ratings doldrums a little earlier than usual this year? After looking at some of the numbers that have just come out for Thursday’s lineup, we certainly are starting to think so. When you don’t really have any news about shows making week-to-week improvements, it makes writing these reports […]
Come Sunday night on NBC (9:00 p.m. Eastern time), we are going to have a chance to view something rather special in the world of comedy: A special celebrating the work of famed director James Burrows … which has the oh-so fitting title of “Must See TV: An All Star Tribute to James Burrows.” Whether it […]
