All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.

Do we have the first certified new hit of 2017 with “The Wall“? We’re certainly starting to think that after looking at the ratings for Tuesday night’s lineup. The Chris Hardwick-hosted game show drew a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the first airing in its official timeslot, which is an increase of more […]
“Call the Midwife” recently aired its Christmas Special in both the UK and here in America, and now that more consolidated ratings are coming in, it’s looking more and more like yet another big success for the BBC and the show’s producers. According to new reports, further viewership following Christmas has allowed the special, which […]
In honor of “Outlander” being voted the Show of the Year — and also in preparation for the third season of the show premiering a little bit later this year — we’re going to spend a little bit of time in the weeks ahead discussing further topics related to the show. Specifically today, we want […]
Matt Carter Scorpion, The Bachelor
Did Nick Viall prove to be a ratings boost as the star of “The Bachelor” this season, or did Arnold Schwarzenegger prove himself to be the same sort of draw as Donald Trump? We’ve seen the numbers now in full for Monday night, and while neither was a disaster, they’ve both seen better days. “The […]

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. Not only that, but there was enough evidence from where the show was in the life […]
If there was ever a show out there that qualified for “the little comedy that could” status, it’s probably ABC’s “Last Man Standing.” From one vantage point, it is so easy to say “of course this show is doing well,” given the fact that you’ve got a well-known lead actor in Tim Allen who […]
