All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
When you talk about ratings, there is one thing you almost always hear about first and foremost– how many viewers watching the show are between 18 and 49 years old? This is the demographic that most advertisers look for in shelling out the big bucks to networks, and the goal oftentimes is to cater programming […]
For our third edition of “ratings debates” (check out our take on “Community” and “Fringe“), we turn to a show that has developed one of the most loyal followings of any on TV at the moment — “Nikita.” Unfortunately, it’s also one that it is some pretty serious trouble of getting sent out the door […]
In the second edition of our look at bubble shows (read our look at “Fringe” here), we are focusing on another show that is beloved by many critics, has a diehard contingent of fans, but is yet still up for grabs when it comes to whether or not it will be back for another season — “Community.” […]
As we get near the network upfronts, we are going to start taking a closer look at some of the shows that are currently up in the air in regards to their future. With that in mind, it only seems appropriate that we start off the feature with a show that seems to perpetually be […]
When it comes to viewers, it appears that Josh Brolin and Gotye simply cannot bring in the same sort of numbers as Sofia Vergara and One Direction — though it’s possible that you could formulate a number of other theories for the drop in ratings for “Saturday Night Live” this weekend (such as weather, Joss […]

When Fox decided to put together a two-hour comedy block on Tuesday with “Glee” on hiatus, we have a feeling they didn’t expect it to go this badly. Unless something miraculous manages to happen when the gang from McKinley High comes back on TV, they may have botched the first-season launch of the funniest new […]
Sometimes in this industry, people tend to think that controversy is a good thing. After all, it gets people talking about your show, and it mobilizes social media in a way that creates the sort of buzz you can’t pay for. Of course, this buzz isn’t a good thing if most of the people talking […]
Do DVR ratings really matter? It’s been a debate that we have long had, especially since there are too strong arguments to be made. Proponents of recording the show will say that they love the show, but can’t watch it live for whatever reason; meanwhile, proponents of live TV will argue that commercials and ad […]
When it comes to “Community,” we know that the ratings are always going to be a talking point. However, the newest numbers may not be something to be too concerned about when it comes to the show getting renewed. Overall, the gang from Greendale Community College scored a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down […]
