All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
We’ve written a few times over the past few weeks about “Criminal Minds” being in a little bit of a ratings rut at the moment, and in some ways, it is very easy to attribute a lot of that performance to one thing more so than anything else: The exit of Thomas Gibson. To be […]
Matt Carter Hawaii Five-0, MacGyver, The Exorcist
There wasn’t necessarily a robust lineup of television last night, so you can draw the assumption with that in mind that the majority of the ratings on the night would be significantly higher. However, in doing that you would be making a wrong assumption altogether! The reason that most of the ratings were either steady or […]
For most of the past several weeks, the season 5 premiere of “Nashville” was hyped up extensively, and we understand why given the journey that it went on to get a new eventual home on CMT. This was a show that was canceled by ABC at the end of this past season, and after a […]
Welcome to this latest edition of “putting out internet fires,” where the mission is simply that — we try to put out some of the ridiculous rumors that are floating around the internet like a bad smell. For one reason or another, some of the most popular ones always do tend circle around the idea that certain […]
The main event of the primetime lineup last night was seeing “The Voice” finale air on NBC, and after looking at the latest numbers for it, we figure that the network is at least reasonably happy with the results.

CBS – Let’s start over here, given that The Eye had potentially the most robust lineup of […]
How high will “This Is Us” go this season? It’s an interesting topic of conversation, especially since there are few ratings-related stories like this out there in the TV news cycle. So often — and even with shows like “The Walking Dead” and “Empire” — we are talking about series that are more on the […]
Matt Carter Elementary, Madam Secretary, The Simpsons
In looking at some of the ratings that are out there for Sunday night’s primetime lineup, there is one clear reaction that we have: What in the world happened to all of the shows on CBS?

Matt Carter Saturday Night Live

The numbers for this show, which was hosted by John Cena and with a […]
