All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Matt Carter Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead
So much for the idea of “The Walking Dead” and “Game of Thrones” being that close to each other, after all. When it was revealed yesterday that the HBO drama was pulling in around 18 million viewers a week across multiple platforms, including repeats, On-Demand, and HBO GO, it was easy to speculate about the […]
Going into the series premiere from “Penny Dreadful,” we literally had no idea what to expect. We were actually a little disappointed with the premiere numbers, but that was before we found out that the Eva Green – Josh Hartness series was tearing things up with all the other ways in which you can watch. […]
While we’ve touted some of the “Game of Thrones” series-high ratings for much of the past several weeks, there has always been one interesting caveat with it: Oftentimes, the ratings are often so much better than they even initially look. Unlike most other networks, the majority of HBO’s viewers are not tuning in live for […]
We’ve suggested as of late that “Beauty and the Beast” may be better off as a summer show moving forward, and based on the ratings that the show received on Monday night, there may be a certain amount of validation in that. While there is certainly potential that the “Beast Is the New Black” episode […]
Matt Carter Halt and Catch Fire
No matter how hard AMC seems to try right now when it comes to their original series, they cannot find a new hit show for some reason. The latest example of that? Their very solid new drama “Halt and Catch Fire.” Despite positive reviews, the premiere episode drew just 1.2 million viewers (an even smaller […]
Matt Carter Britain's Got Talent
Earlier this season, there were many of us out there doing nothing but singing the praises of “Britain’s Got Talent” for being able to draw such fantastic ratings in the early going. Now, we’re talking about some news that is basically the opposite of that. The live shows last week saw a steady decline in […]
TBS certainly kept us waiting for a long time to find out whether or not “King of the Nerds” season 3 was going to happen; luckily, many of us nerds have been used to waiting for a long time. Just remember some of the times you’ve been outside of GameStop at 11:00 p.m. waiting for […]
Did anyone expect “Crossbones” to be a smash hit on NBC? We doubt it. This is a summer show airing on a Friday night, which is as conducive for success as an ice cream store hosting a grand opening at Christmastime. It’s hard to find success there. With all this being said, the show had […]
Big news for all of you “Bitten” fans out there: You will be able to howl with delight at the show coming back on Syfy for another season. The network confirmed that they have acquired the next ten-episode season of the Canadian series starring Laura Vandervoot on Friday, and said that it will premiere at […]
We’ve certainly come to expect some big ratings from “Game of Thrones” earlier this year, but ratings as big as we are getting now? That is something that is causing our jaw to hit the ground. Sunday night’s new episode “Mockingbird” yet again shattered some records, and it ended up totaling a whopping 7.2 million […]
