All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
The more the ratings come in for “So You Think You Can Dance,” the more we worry about the show’s actual chances of getting a landmark tenth season. It’s a shame, too, since there really is no professional dance competition like it on TV. Really, the problems for Nigel Lythgoe, Cat Deeley, and company can […]
Remember when “Breaking Bad” a couple of years ago was that token “great show that nobody watches”? Well, it’s fair to say now that the tides are turning in a pretty big way, and more and more viewers are starting to catch the adventures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman like never before. The ratings […]
Sometimes, there are hit shows that continue to surprise even us — and “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” is certainly one of them. The show is an offshoot of “Toddlers & Tiaras,” but it’s starting to become even more popular than the original show. It’s taken a little bit of the world of pageants, mixed […]
If there is one reason why the ratings this summer have us so stressed out at the moment, it’s simply because we are starting to worry that “So You Think You Can Dance” could see its run on TV end after nine seasons thanks to the numbers that it has been pulling in as of […]
For those of you who only enjoy people falling off of big balls when Jill Wagner is around, the following bit of news is sure to be music to your ears even more so than random nicknames and snarky commentary.

However, the show sputtered at […]
Let this be a lesson for anyone who has ever doubted Gordon Ramsay’s ability to keep four separate shows going on Fox throughout one year — they all can still not only work, but post some pretty incredible numbers. The latest example? “MasterChef.” One day after “Hell’s Kitchen” scored a season high with a final […]
It’s Gordon Ramsay’s world, and all of us TV viewers are just living in it. How else do you explain some of the latest numbers that have come out from Monday night’s lineup? While just about everything else on the schedule was either lower or the same as the week before, the famous chef continued […]
The numbers have come in a little bit early for Sunday night’s lineup on HBO, and overall they have to be rather pleased with the dividends that they received for both “True Blood” and “The Newsroom.” (Read our reviews for the episodes here and here.) In the case of the latter show, there were certainly […]
It’s not often that we open a ratings story by talking about repeats, but this is a rather special case considering that the fall TV season is coming up fast, and we want to see how some new shows are going to fare. When NBC first aired their pilot for the Matthew Perry comedy “Go […]
