Yes, we are firmly now at that time where we have to make as many different excuses as possible for the wide array of programs that have suffered big drops … and we begin today with “Sleepy Hollow.” The Tom Mison series started out low this season despite promising to change things up, but Thursday […]
Fox wants more scripts – Specifically, we’re talking about “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder.” Six more episodes are going to be written for commission, which brings the overall total up to 19 each. Even though the ratings for neither show are necessarily spectacular, there is a strong motivation for why Fox would want to do this: Look […]
It’s a little early to start proclaiming “how the mighty have fallen” when it comes to “Empire,” but at the moment, it is at least clear that the show is moving from uber-hit to just “hit” status in its second season. The great news is that Wednesday night’s new episode drew a 4.6 rating in […]
A funny thing happened during Sunday night’s episode of “The Leftovers,” and it is something that is rare after spending years watching a very large percentage of relevant TV programming: Tears, and not just the season 1 variety where they came because the show pretty much forced them on us.

While there are some shows that get picked up for a second season, you cannot assume that it is automatically for a full season. This is the situation that both “The Mysteries of Laura” and “Fresh Off the Boat” got themselves into thanks to concerns over their ratings, but we have some more news now […]
Harry Connick Jr. heading to daytime – We begin today’s edition of TV Quick Hits by giving you at least a little bit of a sense of what Harry Connick Jr. has planned for himself following the end of “American Idol.” NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution is working with Connick on a syndicated daytime variety show entitled […]
We did not necessarily expect The CW’s “Crazy Ex Girlfriend” to deliver crazy-good ratings Monday, but somebody out there probably thought it was going to be doing a little bit better than this. Overall, the series premiere drew just a 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic last night, which is far from stunning and, unless […]
Taye Diggs joins “Rosewood” – After spending some time playing doctor over on “Private Practice,” the actor has now found another reason to put on a stethoscope.
