All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
After all of the ratings struggles for most of the past few months, who expected America’s Got Talent and World of Dance to come out swinging? The first numbers from Tuesday are in after a ratings delay, and they are excellent news for both of these reality shows. First, America’s Got Talent held fairly steady with a 2.6, proving further just […]
Based on the first round of Still Star-Crossed ratings from Monday night, it’s looking already like the show will be a tragedy of its own. Through one episode, the Shonda Rhimes production generated a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which is down from Mistresses last summer and one of the worst starts for a Big 4 scripted series […]
It’s clear that most everyone out there wants a Better Call Saul season 4 renewal. Unfortunately, that very thing hasn’t come yet. What is the reasoning for that? Given that this is AMC and there is not often a clear timetable for when they want to renew or cancel any show on their schedule, it’s hard to formulate […]
Let’s all take a moment and thank the lucky stars that CBS renewed The Amazing Race when they did. After all, some of the latest ratings for the show are pretty woeful. Last night, the latest episode of the reality juggernaut drew just a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down an alarming 20% from the week […]
The Twin Peaks ratings are in now for Showtime, and there is one thing that they show you above all else: Viewership versus hype. Also, they may prove further that there is not a huge pool of people watching television live these days, especially in terms of premium cable. In terms of just the live+same day linear […]
Did Rachel Lindsay’s Bachelorette ratings suffer in their first outing? They were certainly far from bad, but also worse than recent outings. Overall, Lindsay’s first episode drew a 1.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which is down from the 2.0 that the first episode of JoJo Fletcher’s season last year. The past few premieres have scored just […]
The Dwayne Johnson – Katy Perry finale of Saturday Night Live proved to be very entertaining from the standpoint of comedy. We’re equally happy to say that the ratings were a great reflection of that. The final episode of the season, which also featured cameos from Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, and Scarlett Johansson, ended up drawing a 2.3 […]
No longer is there a need to wonder if The Blacklist is renewed for season 5 — NBC made the glorious (and expected) news official this morning. There wasn’t much of a reason to worry about the show. NBC loves it, it’s got great DVR ratings, there’s a rich per-episode pact over at Netflix, and it fares […]
Rooting for Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders season 3 is not too hard to do in practice; as for whether or not it will happen, there is a different debate to be had there. Last night, the 11th episode of the season drew a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down versus the week before. Perhaps more challenging […]
We know we’re getting ahead of ourselves here, but we still want to talk about a Law & Order: SVU season 20 … even though there’s no season 19 yet. Think about where we are right now in terms of the show’s longevity. It’s somehow defied the odds already and made it to a season 18, which […]
