All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Wednesday night marks the big season finale for “The Bridge,” but you do have to wonder if this could also mark the series finale for a show that at one point felt like it could be one of FX’s next big hits. Let’s do our best to set up the landscape right now for the show, starting […]
Matt Carter Agents of SHIELD, Manhattan Love Story, NCIS: New Orleans
We’ve felt for a little while that “Manhattan Love Story” was a strong candidate to be one of the first shows of the fall season canceled, but who knows? “Selfie” may be right there with it based on the premiere numbers. Despite a huge promotional effort for the Karen Gillan comedy, “Selfie” started last night […]
Years ago, we never thought we would have any good news at all to share when it comes to ratings on a Saturday. Luckily, we are glad that has changed thanks to some networks actually deciding to air some good programming on the night. “Hell on Wheels” – We’ve followed the Western all season, and what […]
Good news for “Mistresses” fans today; you no longer have to worry about whether or not the show is coming back. Today, ABC confirmed that the drama, which stars Alyssa Milano and others, will be back for another season airing in 2015. This was hardly a guaranteed renewal, given that the ratings were low mostly […]
Matt Carter NCIS: Los Angeles, Scorpion, Sleepy Hollow
We expected there to be quite a few significant ratings drops given that there always are at around this point. With that being said, some are worse than others. The shows that are still on pretty solid footing in the 18-49 demographic are “Scorpion” (3.0), which surprisingly kept most of its audience despite not having […]
This year, Nielsen is doubling down when it comes to releasing information about the relationship between Twitter and TV, and with that, we have the presentation of some ratings for this past week. This data comes to us courtesy of Deadline, and while there is not a direct relationship necessarily between Twitter and a show’s total […]
What is going on with the ratings for “Downton Abbey“? We could understand if some out there are asking this question, but for the time being, we would still insist that there is nothing to worry about. For its second episode of season 5, the Carnival Films production drew a total of 8.1 million viewers […]
As it turns out, enormous marketing campaigns and stunt publicity do turn out good ratings most of the time. Sunday night’s ratings are proof of it. The big winners – “Once Upon a Time” was way up in introducing “Frozen” characters to the mix; the season 4 premiere scored a great 3.4 rating in the 18-49 […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
While “Saturday Night Live” may be in the midst now of their incredible 40th season, that does not mean that we are seeing record ratings to go along with it. On the heels of what was one of the weakest seasons in years minus Bill Hader and many other favorites, the show is going to […]
Matt Carter Gotham, The Blacklist
As we move more and more into a time-shifted era, networks are looking more and more at live+3 data to determine just how many people are watching some of their series. With that in mind, we’re here with some updates about how many people recorded some of the premieres for Monday night. “The Blacklist” – NBC […]
