All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Tonight on Showtime, the end of the road is here, at least for the time being, when it comes to the fourth season of “Masters of Sex.” It’s at this point fairly obvious that Bill Masters and Virginia Johnson are on quite a tumultuous journey together; we’ve seen them certainly go through highs both personally […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
We had a feeling that the “Saturday Night Live” episode from this weekend was going to be huge. How could it not be? We’re talking about a show hosted by a comedy icon in Dave Chappelle, and it really goes even further than that. This was also the first show after the Presidential Election, and […]
Matt Carter Lethal Weapon, Ratings Bubble Report
When Fox decided to order “Lethal Weapon” to series, they took what we felt at the time was a rather big chance. The upside for the series was that it could become for them almost what “Hawaii Five-0” is over on CBS, a really fun, high-stakes remake that allows for some opportunities for people to […]
Matt Carter American Horror Story
For those wondering if “American Horror Story: Roanoke” is going to go out with a ratings bang this season, you’re in luck: Just about every sign that we’ve got seems to be pointing towards the answer being yes. After we saw the show suffer a little bit of a decline for episode 8, when it […]
Matt Carter Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0
There isn’t too much necessarily to write home about today in the ratings, mostly because it feels like “steady as she goes” really should be the motto for what we’re bringing to the table. The majority of the shows had numbers that were roughly the same as the week before, but there were a few […]
Matt Carter Chicago Med, The Big Bang Theory, The Blacklist
Why present the ratings a little bit later than usual tonight? Blame NBC preemptions for that. Due to the Baltimore Ravens – Cleveland Browns game, we knew that there would be some inflated numbers in the preliminary figures that came out. We’ve now removed those from the equation, and with that, we’ve got a much […]
Let’s start off this article with a clear reminder that ratings are often a baffling business to try to understand, since there is never a single show on TV that is influenced by only one factor, positively or negatively. We’re also in an era where the ratings for many shows out there are down significantly. […]
Matt Carter Arrow, Code Black, Empire
Is the “Empire” starting to crumble? We don’t necessarily think that, but it’s clear that all of the various hiatuses that the Fox drama’s faced over the past few weeks clearly made an impact on the show’s ratings Wednesday night. The latest episode drew a series-low 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic, and while that […]
Matt Carter Ratings Progress Report, Timeless
To us, “Timeless” is one of the best new shows of the fall season. While there may be shows out there with better reviews and arguably even better drama, this show really captures why we think so many people choose to watch television in the first place: The adventure. It allows you to escape to […]
Apparently, Election Night is the perfect time to try and bury cancellation news — after all, Freeform is doing that tonight with “Dead of Summer.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network is canceling the teen horror series, which came from “Once Upon a Time” executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis and entered the […]
