All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
The months of March and April are definitely a curious time when it comes to evaluating the true nature of shows. Are people really watching them, or just leaving on their TVs after watching something that came on before? Look at this past fall, when “Go On” and “The New Normal” were drawing ratings that would easily […]
BBC America has quite a thing going for it now on Saturday nights. While few other networks out there even choose to program what is often a time in which people go out and do other things, this particular slice of cable is actually following the British tradition, as many of their popular programs actually […]
After pretty much no waiting whatsoever, HBO confirmed on Tuesday what has to be television’s worst-kept secret these days: “Game of Thrones” will in fact be back for a fourth season. The producers have, after all, already started to work on the story for the ten upcoming episodes, and so the network was obviously just […]
Just in case you were wondering why a show like “Revenge” drew only a 1.5 rating in the 18=49 demographic Sunday night, here is your answer: “The Walking Dead” and “The Bible” ate it alive. When it comes to the former show, AMC’s zombie hit set yet another record with a 6.4 rating in the […]
All in all, we have a feeling that the folks over at HBO have to be throwing themselves a little party with the launch of “Game of Thrones” season 3, For whatever reason the network made the decision to launch the show not only on Easter Sunday, but against the finale of “The Walking Dead” […]
There are plenty of shows on ABC right now that you could talk about as being “on the bubble” and in danger of being canceled, but we really cannot imagine any one of them being more of a hot topic for discussion right now than “Nashville.” This is a show that is critically-acclaimed for the […]
In news that surely must be making Simon Cowell jump up and down with “Glee,” he managed to defeat the premiere of “The Voice” UK on Saturday, even though he was not even airing one of his own flagship series against it. Instead, an appearance by the “X Factor” creator and music mogul on the […]
Good Friday is not traditionally one of the better days of the year for TV ratings, since you have so many families either traveling or off doing other things in preparation for Easter Sunday. However, there were at least a few networks that tried to do something, to albeit pretty mixed results. First of all, […]
There’s really not enough happening right now when it comes to TV ratings to justify multiple stories on this, but we have some pretty interesting things to share from both Wednesday and Thursday nights here. First of all, we have to talk about the complete decimation of “American Idol.” What is going on here? While […]
When “The Neighbors” first came on TV in the fall, it would probably be an understatement to say that we weren’t fans of the premiere: it was one of the strangest things we’ve ever seen, and we didn’t quite “get it” in the same way that others did. The show has found itself a devoted […]
