All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Harry's Law, NBC, NYC 22, Ratings
As we said when we posted our review for the “Harry’s Law” series finale, we really feel for the show. Not only is it canceled after being one of NBC’s most-watched shows, but it was preempted a week so that an “America’s Got Talent” repeat could take its place in the May sweeps. With all […]
Duets, Ratings, So You Think You Can Dance
Thursday night marked the official start to the summer TV season — though it also showed that some viewers may be tiring of the old — as well as the overdone. There were only a few new programs on the night for the Big 5 networks — we’re only going to show repeats from here […]
A&E, Duck Commander, Duck Dynasty, Jase Robertson, Willie Robertson
We’ve said time and time again on the site that “Duck Dynasty” may be one of our favorite new reality shows on TV — and the ratings at the moment seem to suggest that we’re not the only ones who feel this way. Overall, the season 1 finale Wednesday ended up pulling in an impressive […]
American Idol, Ratings, Revenge
Wednesday was the final day of the May sweeps, and with many primetime series saying goodbye until the fall, there were a few that decided to go out with a bang. Fox – Of course, “American Idol” won the night and surged upwards to a 6.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic along with over 20 […]
Do you want some good news from Tuesday night’s TV ratings? Out of the three major finales that aired, two of them scored larger audiences than at this time last week. However, here comes the bad news — all three shows saw their lowest-rated finales ever. “American Idol“ – With a 4.2 rating in the […]
America's Got Talent, Fox, House, Ratings
Monday night turned out to be a big one for all networks not named CBS and The CW — mostly because they either went with repeats or filler specials. ABC, Fox, and NBC all saw some gains for some of their programming, and the final episode of “House” drew its best numbers since January. Fox […]
Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian
While not everyone may be fans of the Kardashian family, E! is certainly grinning from ear to ear after seeing the ratings from “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” on Sunday night. Overall, the reality juggernaut’s season 7 premiere scored its best premiere audience ever in three million viewers, and two million of them were in […]
Despite the fact that the show has already been canceled by The CW, “The Secret Circle” is showing that it did have a fairly large audience by network standards. Unfortunately, a good many of them simply were not watching online. In some brand-new DVR numbers released on Monday (per TVbythenumbers), the drama gained 80% in […]
Family Guy, Ratings, The Celebrity Apprentice
As we near the end of the May sweeps, we are seeing most of the 2011-12 shows on their last legs — but at least some of them are deciding to go out with a bang rather than a whimper. NBC – “Harry’s Law” fans may hate it, but the repeat of “America’s Got Talent” […]
Mick Jagger, NBC, Saturday Night Live
Despite this weekend being the season finale for “Saturday Night Live,” young people were apparently not as excited to see Mick Jagger (or the surprise send-off for Kristen Wiig) as they were to see Eli Manning a couple of weeks ago or even Lindsay Lohan earlier this season. Overall, the show (read our full review […]
