All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
We just realized that we have yet to issue any sort of official ratings report on “The Walking Dead” season 7, episode 7, and with the midseason finale just under 24 hours from now, doesn’t this feel like the best possible time? It may actually be the only time. The ratings for this past episode, entitled “Sing […]
Matt Carter Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0, Shark Tank
With the holidays quickly approaching, it is becoming more and more clear that the majority of people out there are looking to engage in some other hobbies other than watching television or have some parties / events to attend — after all, we’ve just gotten wind of the ratings for Friday night’s television lineup, and […]
Matt Carter Legends of Tomorrow, Notorious, Pitch
There were a lot of season and midseason finales on Thursday night, and we do think that there is something to be taken from their ratings in terms of determining the future of these shows. Suffice it to say, there is some good and bad news ahead. Fox – We’re starting over here today to deliver […]
Tonight on ABC, you’re going to see the network closing its doors on “Notorious” with its season 1 finale — but will this also be the end of the series as a whole? Based on what we’re seeing going into the finale, we’re not altogether optimistic. The show to date is averaging a 0.9 rating […]
Matt Carter Criminal Minds, Empire, Hairspray Live!, Lethal Weapon, This Is Us
If you’re looking for a reason behind some of the ratings drops of Wednesday night, there is really one culprit: “Hairspray Live” over on NBC. The much-anticipated production drew overall a 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and almost 9 million viewers. While these numbers are closer to “Peter Pan” than “The Sound of Music” or […]
We don’t tend to track the ratings for “Ink Master” too much during the season, largely for the reason that its numbers don’t fluctuate too much, and the show’s frequently renewed for another season before the current one ends. For the most part, we consider writing about this show’s ratings to be fun more so […]
Matt Carter Agents of SHIELD, Chicago Fire, The Flash
For the first time in what seems to be almost weeks, we had a rare gift across broadcast TV Tuesday night: A lineup featuring almost entirely new episodes of some of your favorite shows! This means we’ve got a considerable amount to discuss here, so let’s go ahead and dive into much of it. CBS – […]
Matt Carter Conviction, Timeless
We’re now into the month of December, and more than anything that means a little bit of a mishmash when it comes to primetime programming. There are many shows that are starting out and will only air for the immediate future, just as there are also some other shows that are trying things up for […]
Do we have a new #1 in terms of scripted dramas on network TV? It may be a little bit early to make this sort of proclamation entirely, but it does feel like we’re starting to get there when it comes to NBC’s “This Is Us.” According to a new press release issued Monday night, […]
Matt Carter Game of Thrones, Westworld
There are many times when we feel like it’s never good to make direct comparisons between one show and another, and for good reason: You don’t want to set up a program to fail, especially a particularly-good one, with a comparison that is really not fair in any sense of the word. Yet, at the […]
