All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
After we publish our review of “Girls” every night, we always like to take a minute or two in order to see what some of the other TV critics out there are saying about the show. It’s such a polarizing show that there are times in which other perspectives serve to only further enhance your […]
Without the Friday night ratings beast known as “Shark Tank” taking away viewers, you would think that some of the other shows would see a rise in numbers … right? Not exactly. Instead, what we ended up having here was a number of shows airing at 9:00 p.m. actually losing an audience, and the lowest-rated […]
We’ve had a love / hate relationship with “Community” at times this season, so isn’t it in many ways ironic that the show ended up posting its lowest ratings of the series for what was actually its best episode of the post-Dan Harmon era by a pretty wide margin. You can blame whatever you want […]
The moment that Justin Timberlake was announced as the host of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, you knew that the ratings were going to be stellar. However, did you ever imagine that they were going to be as strong as they ended up being? Overall, the show this weekend drew a massive 3.7 rating in […]
In looking at the Friday-night TV lineup at the moment, there is really only one logical reaction you can have to the ratings: ugh.

In case you were wondering why the ratings were down for so many broadcast shows this week, you can really just blame the domination that is currently happening on cable. There were two shows that actually beat everything that aired on network television; not only that, but the race was not even close in the […]
For is giving many of their popular series a rather nice gift on Monday: not having to wait for a ridiculously long time in order to learn as to whether or not they will be renewed for another season. Fox officially confirmed that three of their comedy series, in “Raising Hope,” “The Mindy Project,” and […]
While we found the Kevin Hart-hosted edition of “Saturday Night Live” to be one of the bigger disappointments of the year (at least when it comes to our expectations going into the show, there is still some good news when it comes to the ratings. Overall, the show ended up drawing a strong 2.8 rating […]
The Friday night ratings battle is an interesting one; even though the vast majority of shows fail to even get near a 2.0 rating, there are still many that are on the bubble of potentially returning for another season. Meanwhile, there are also some that are obviously so dead in the water that they are […]
