All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.

Even though Sunday night may have technically been a holiday, there was surprisingly quite a bit on the air when it comes to new programming — though to be fair, some of it was of the “networks trying to burn off shows that they aren’t intending to bring back” variety. We’ll get to that more […]
Sunday night brought you more than just the arrival of the new year — it also gave you a chance to check out some more “Sherlock” on the air! Was the waiting ultimately worth it? Based on what we’re hearing from most viewers the answer there is “yes,” and clearly the folks over at The […]
Matt Carter New Year's Rockin' Eve
The following bit of news is probably going to sound rather familiar: ABC has itself a winner with “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” During the most pivotal time of the show — otherwise known as 11:30 p.m. until 1:15 a.m. in the morning — TVbythenumbers reports that the special, hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Jenny McCarthy, […]
In the fall of 2015, the British press were doing their typical thing (i.e. having a complete and utter field day) over the ratings declines of “Doctor Who,” with some critics going so far as to wonder whether it was time to put the show on another extended hiatus. We on the other hand, have […]
While not every detail about Wednesday night’s new episode of “Vikings” was leaked in advance, there was a general sentiment out there from History that it was going to be a key episode for the series’ past and present.

It remains remarkable in many ways the sheer number of people who end up watching Christmas specials in the UK, especially when you consider the country’s total population. They have made this into a real tradition, and something that the majority of people enjoy watching together as a family or with friends. So who was […]
One of the things that has long frustrated us in regards to television this time of the year is that by and large, it’s a barren wasteland. It’s become increasingly hard to find quality programming worth watching, mostly because networks choose to hold on to their shows until the new year rather than take the […]
At this point, there is quite a bit of discussion out there already about “Scandal” season 6, and this comes without anyone seeing a single episode of the show. It’s easy to understand why, given that this is a show with a ton of social-media traffic, and ABC also has probably been looking very much […]
Over the past several weeks, we’ve had many opportunities to start to discuss further the fate of a few different cable series when it comes to their ratings, and there are a few out there that we feel are still very much up in the air in terms of their future. For the time being […]
