All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
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 […]
When you are a diehard fan of a low-rated show, you constantly try to think of some reasons why it could still be renewed despite the low numbers there. We’ve ultimately heard every excuse in the book, from a poor timeslot to a bad lead-in to the show being popular on Twitter or with a […]

We were hesitant to jump on board the “‘American Idol‘ is a sinking ship” bandwagon a few weeks ago, if for no other reason than that there was no real reason to actually believe the show was in real trouble. Even though the numbers were down, it was still easy the top show on TV […]
For all the business enthusiasts out there that haven’t had a chance to check out ABC’s hit reality show ‘Shark Tank’ we highly recommend that you tune in. ‘Shark Tank’ is a reality show that really sets itself apart from the rest as there is no train-wreck relationships, punching people in the face or drunken […]
Since the ratings were so tied to the mythology of “Chuck,” it only seems appropriate to close off coverage of the show by talking a bit about the numbers for one last time. For this final episode, the series took a step up in drawing 4.2 million total viewers along with a 1.3 rating in […]
