All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Networks better start shaking in their boots: an original cable series has taken yet another top spot from the major broadcast networks. Already, there was a show in “The Walking Dead” that consistently draws better numbers than anything on Sunday nights (and almost everything not named “The Big Bang Theory,” for that matter), but now […]
There are a few things that we can really learn from the ratings that are coming in for Wednesday night: viewers are tired of singing competitions, “Survivor” has the most dedicated fanbase out of any show on TV, and that for whatever reason, “Chicago Fire” has emerged as more of a hit at the moment […]
CBS clearly realized with “The Job” that Friday night is no place to launch a new show anymore, so with that in mind they made the smart decision to trying and launch their new police drama “Golden Boy” on Tuesday following their two successful “NCIS” franchises. So was this a smart move? Sure, but we’re […]
The official news is in when it comes to the February sweeps, and we have to say that this was not a good time to be NBC. Just a matter of a month and a half ago, the network’s programming head in Robert Greenblatt was touting the network’s massive success for the fall half of […]
Can anything really deter the unstoppable monster that is “The Walking Dead” at the moment? After looking at the latest numbers that have come in from AMC, we are almost willing to wager here that the answer to this question is “no.” Sunday night’s new episode of the zombie drama end up actually improving its […]
When we talked about some of the recent ratings that were coming in for “Revenge,” we did so with a word of caution that they would likely change pretty dramatically based on DVR figures. Why? One of the show’s two most-recent episodes was in competition against the Grammys, and after so much event television the […]
“Amazing Race” fans, don’t hit the panic button: while the CBS competition series fell to a series low on Sunday night, it’s hard not to just assume that it is because of the steep competition caused by the Academy Awards. Save for the Oscars, “The Amazing Race” was the only new program on the night, […]
You have to love what FX has going on for itself at the moment; not only has John Landgraf set up a pretty great relationship between the network and showrunners (as evidenced by how loyal such folks as Graham Yost and Kurt Sutter have been over the years), but they also have done a rather […]
While there are a pretty heavy percentage of cynics out there who want to see “Survivor” fail for whatever reason, there are also plenty of other people who still love the show after all of these years, and don’t want to see it go anywhere at all. Luckily, we are one of these such people. […]
Do you hear that sound? It is of network executives crying underneath their desks. This has been at times an atrocious winter season, and based on the newest ratings that have come in, and does not look as though the bleeding is going to stop anytime soon. Save for “The Following,” has there been any […]
