All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Matt Carter How to Get Away with Murder
The first series to get full-season pickups are now official, though there is still a little bit to talk about with one of them. Let’s not bury the lede here. “How to Get Away with Murder” was officially given a full-season order, but that order is only for 15 episodes. What gives here? As Deadline […]
Matt Carter Extant, Under the Dome
How about this for a renewal surprise? While “Under the Dome” was largely expected to get a third season, the odds were significantly smaller for the Halle Berry series “Extant.” Yet, both somehow still did enough to merit an order for additional episodes from CBS. Our theory behind this move is simple: Streaming. Due to […]
Matt Carter Witches of East End
Over the past few years, we’ve followed the cases of on-the-bubble shows pretty closely, and thanks to that, have developed a pretty good idea of what can be done in order to help keep a show around. With that, we turn to the latest series in question in Lifetime’s “Witches of East End.” The first […]
Matt Carter Arrow, Criminal Minds
The numbers are in for the “Arrow” premiere, and we really feel like they are about what they expected. Did the presence of “The Flash” help to improve things somewhat? Sure, but we’re not looking at a show that drew tremendously more viewers because of it. The opener to season 3 ultimately drew a 1.0 […]
While there has not been a plethora of breaking news about “Longmire” over the past week or so, we have started to feel like this could be the time for some sort of roundup article on some of the information that we’ve accumulated over the past few weeks, just to give you a greater sense […]
We’ll be honest here in saying that we still do not completely understand the move to put “Hell on Wheels” on hiatus through the rest of October. Why do this? It seems detrimental to the show, unless you really just want to get some episodes during the November sweeps. When it comes to ratings, at […]
Matt Carter Witches of East End
In case you are wondering whether or not the cast of “Witches of East End” know more about the show’s renewal on Lifetime, the answer to that is “not really.” Just like many of us, they are still sitting around, waiting to see what happens next. The only difference is that they will probably get […]
We have been writing about a possible end for “Awkward” for some time, and it felt like the message was on the wall here for a long time: There will be a fifth season for the MTV comedy, but that will also be its last. The timeline of the show is one of the reasons that […]
Do we have our first cancellation of the fall season coming up? It seems that way, and we may also have our first major hit. Let’s start with the great news: “The Flash” premiered to a whopping 1.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic! While that may be average for a large network like CBS, this […]
Matt Carter Real Housewives of New Jersey
Bravo was certainly both quick and keen to hype up their big interview featuring Teresa and Joe Giudice on “Watch What Happens Live,” and we do understand why. This was the first interview for the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars since they were sentenced to prison, and as TV viewers, we somehow have this […]
