All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Matt Carter Lucifer, Ratings Progress Report
Earlier this fall, we had some rather-lovely news handed down when it comes to “Lucifer“: Fox was picking up the series, starring Tom Ellis and so many more, for a full season for the first time. Given that the show started off in midseason for season 1, it never had this opportunity before now. What […]
Matt Carter Ratings Progress Report, Scream Queens
We do want to start this particular “Scream Queens” article off by making one thing abundantly clear: We love the show, and feel like it does a pretty tremendous job week in and week out of being entertaining. Yet, at the same time, we do also acknowledge the fact that this show is not exactly […]
Matt Carter Mom, Pure Genius, The Great Indoors
We’ve got one question coming out of Thursday night’s primetime lineup, and it’s very clearly the one that we’ve got in the title for this article. Why in the world would CBS — a network supposedly invested in keeping all of their shows around for more seasons — decide to put new episodes on the […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live, Survivor
Wednesday night wasn’t exactly a killer night when it comes to television ratings, so with that, we have a significantly smaller mount to discuss over the course of this article than usual. “Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X” – Of course, the show was down versus the week before, and that was expected given that this was […]
Matt Carter Dancing with the Stars, Scream Queens, The Voice
There were some interesting ratings trends across the board on Tuesday, but one of the more interesting ones for us — on a completely depressing level — is the decline of “Scream Queens.” From the onset, we’ve thought that the Ryan Murphy comedy-horror series was a bit of a ratings disappointment. It’s got a great cast […]
“Code Black” is not your typical second-year CBS show. It didn’t run a full 22 episodes the first time around, and it also doesn’t look as though it’s going to be running a full 22 episodes this time around, either. It’s operating under its own set of rules, and it’s certainly an underdog story, but […]
For a good while this season, one of the biggest surprises surrounding “Westworld” on HBO was the mere fact that for one reason or another, the network really wasn’t in any hurry to renew the show for more episodes. Luckily, there is no reason to worry about the show’s future anymore, given the big news […]
Is the fall of “The Walking Dead” in the ratings starting to become huge news? We’re not sure that we’d go that far just yet, but it is starting to fee more and more like this is something that we should be paying rather-close attention to based on the numbers that have been coming out […]
Matt Carter Scorpion, Supergirl, The Voice, Timeless
There are some interesting patterns that are coming out of the ratings for Monday night’s television lineup, but as a whole, the one thing that we’d say more so than anything else is that NFL football is, once again, playing a role in the TV landscape. We’ll get into what exactly that means in a […]
Matt Carter Pure Genius, Ratings Progress Report
When “Pure Genius” first premiered on CBS a little bit earlier this year, it was already rather easy to say that the deck was stacked somewhat against it. After all, this was a show that premiered several weeks into the season, and with that, there was more of an inherent challenge present here in getting […]
