All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
We understand that the Olympics — coupled with the desire for ABC to launch “The Bachelorette” after “Dancing with the Stars” — led to some summer shows starting a bit earlier than usual. While this decision may make some more sense weeks down the road, for right now it seems as though two new series […]
While it’s likely that some people out there were hoping that “Desperate Housewives” would end with a little bit more of a ratings bang than it did, ABC also is likely not too upset over the ratings from Sunday. After all, the network never once deviated below a 3.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with […]
With the news coming that “Fringe” is renewed and “The Finder” is canceled, it’s certainly easy now to look at the their ratings in a different light. The irony? In seeing how much CBS has plummeted this spring, “Fringe” suddenly doesn’t look so bad when it comes to 18-49 viewership. Fox – “The Finder” shut […]
Thanks to some mass renewals from NBC and ABC over the past few days, there was less drama than usual when it comes to the ratings for Thursday night’s programming. However, there were at least a couple of shows whose fate is still in the balance. NBC – Following the news that it would be […]
With the fate of most Wednesday shows already set in stone for next season, there was not much in the way of drama — however, that doesn’t mean that the night was devoid of any interesting shifts whatsoever in the ratings.

When you are a show airing on TV’s most-watched network in CBS week in and week out, you may as well expect that there is ultimately going to be a battle come renewal time. For “Unforgettable,” that battle is probably especially tough knowing that they would probably be renewed on any other network. With that […]
With there being a number of season finales airing across the board on Sunday night, it should not come as much of a surprise at all that some shows rose to the occasion in the ratings — while others with another episode or two left in the can saw some significant drops. NBC – In […]
When “The Killing” first premiered on AMC earlier this season, there was a rather worthwhile question being asked — can this series regain some of the momentum it supposedly lost following its controversial finale? At first, it seemed to weather the storm all right — posting a number (in a 0.5 in the 18-49 demographic […]
With us currently in season finale mode, it’s always interesting to see whether or not shows can buck the downward trend caused by spring, and actually manage to increase their audiences.
