It is becoming increasingly difficult at the moment to stand out in a crowded field, especially when you are a show that has been around for longer than a year or two. How do you prevent something as potentially inevitable as viewer erosion? Luckily, “Chicago Fire” on NBC has figured out a way to make […]
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. According to TVLine, Diggs (who was also recently a part of “The Good Wife”) is going to recur on the Fox drama as Rosewood’s good friend Dr. Mike Boyce. […]
When you’ve got a show like “The Walking Dead” premiering on AMC, all other networks should just go ahead and enter the night with one simple expectation: Declines, and plenty of them. This is, after all, what happened to most of the primetime lineup on network TV. For the time being, we are not going […]
We give the “Undateable” cast and crew credit for working their butts of leading to the season 3 premiere on Friday night. They managed to put on a live special this week, and they are going to continue to do that the rest of the season. The biggest challenge with it, though, is as simple […]
Bradley’s back – Before “Limitless” first premiered on CBS, one of the things that was teased was that presumably, there would be a chance to see more than one appearance from the star of the movie (and show executive producer) Bradley Cooper. He appeared in the pilot, and after that, we did not really have a […]
We anticipate this becoming a patter over the course of the 2015-16 TV season: Ratings being lower than many people expect or would like. This is just emblematic for the most part of the current TV climate. For “The Vampire Diaries,” what it saw on Thursday night was a season premiering with a 0.6 rating […]
It’s not often that we have multiple editions of TV Quick Hits in a day, but this is what happens when there are so many tiny stories that are worthy of recognition, but there is maybe not enough about them to justify a full argue. Fox orders more “Rosewood” scripts – According to Deadline, the Morris Chestnut […]
