All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
We wanted to have hope that the Major Crimes season 5 ratings would stay solid on Wednesdays, but through one episode, it’s not the case. As a matter, it feels fairly safe to proclaim that TNT bungled this one pretty bad. Before we move forward, let’s submit that being a network programmer is a tough […]
When you look at all of the different shows that are on the bubble right now, Nashville is arguably one of them that is in the strangest position … and there’s a super-specific reason for that. Basically, half of the show’s success now is measure by Hulu. They’re helping to keep the show afloat, but they have […]
Matt Carter MacGyver, Sleepy Hollow
Are the MacGyver or the Emerald City renewal odds higher now than they were at this point one week ago? That’s something we’re looking to analyze further in today’s ratings piece, which is geared mostly around the Friday bubble shows. Let’s start off here with MacGyver, given that this is one of the few series with a substantial change from […]
What is Timeless Fridays? It is something still in the early stages, but also something that is very much on our mind as we push further into upfronts in May. When thinking about the NBC series, which is undoubtedly a personal favorite at this point based on content and the sense of wonderful escapism it provides, the biggest […]
Matt Carter Riverdale, The Blacklist: Redemption
Today, the main order of business is discussing The Blacklist: Redemption premiere ratings, and we wish we could say it was good news. The show’s first episode last night aired just a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which was down a tenth from the episode of The Blacklist proper the hour before. Honestly, the expectations that […]
We know that the enthusiasm surrounding a potential ‘Law & Order: SVU’ season 19 renewal is high. Therefore, why not try to help in any way that we possibly can? This is what this story, and many others to follow, are going to be all about until the news is passed along. Last night, the […]
Matt Carter Arrow, Doubt, The 100
Is there a reason to be worried about some ‘Arrow’ low ratings? At the moment, we really wouldn’t be concerned … but if the downward trend continues, there’s something further to be concerned about. Last week’s new episode entitled “The Sin-Eater” ended up drawing what are the lowest ratings of the show to date. Specifically, it posted […]
Last night, Marvel’s “Agents of SHIELD” brought to the table the end of its LMD arc with, interestingly, an episode that didn’t really resolve much of anything. There were far more questions than answers by the time we rolled around to the closing minutes of it, especially when you started to think a little bit […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
While Donald Trump may be able to say many things at the moment about “Saturday Night Live,” we now know for sure that there is one adjective that he absolutely cannot use to describe it: “Failing.” (Well, technically he cold, given that he also uses that same word for the New York Times despite them […]
The assumption that we had going into this past weekend was that we would see some sort of decline for “The Walking Dead” on the air; the bigger question was just how big specifically we were going to see the zombie drama slide. In the end, it wasn’t as bad as we were worried about, […]
