All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
We’re continuing to keep a watch on how some of the bubble shows are faring in the ratings, and the ones that are coming in now for Friday spell a decent chance of a “Hannibal” renewal … but also spell that “Hart of Dixie” may have some more trouble of getting a full 22 episodes […]
“Community” has long been the cool, cool, cool engine that could. It has never been a breakout hit, but even in spite of that, it has withstood heavy competition, time changes, premiering at midseason, going off of the schedule, losing Dan Harmon, Chevy Chase leaving, gaining Dan Harmon back, and losing Donald Glover. Yet, through […]
Did “Supernatural: Bloodlines” just find itself a lifeline in the ratings? Maybe, but you have to remember that the executives over at The CW will consider more than this in making their decision. Personally, we disliked this plodding, unfunny spin-off pilot, and we know that we are not the only ones who feel that way […]
There’s some sad and admittedly surprising news coming out of Fox today. After looking like it could be a late contender for a renewal thanks to slipping ratings elsewhere and a fan following, the network (per Deadline) has decided instead to cancel “Almost Human” after a single season on the air. So what are the […]
The bad news continues for some shows that are firmly on the bubble, and while you expect ratings to teeter down a little bit in the spring months (there’s actually an option for people to go outside), you traditionally hope that the damage is not so bad that it actually keeps you from coming back.

“Beauty and the Beast” is a show that you want to believe in, mostly because it possesses so much of what makes The CW the network it is. There’s action, romance, mythology, and some funny one-liners spread throughout everyone episode. Unfortunately, the show also had the distinction this season of being put into the death […]
Even before Fox premiered “Almost Human,” this was a show that we had expectations for thanks to the “Fringe” connections behind the scenes, the futuristic premise, and also the cast. Unfortunately, for a while it was looking like the show wasn’t going to have a chance to take on more cases. The ratings were never […]

We’ve made it to that time of year again: Ratings debate season! This is where we will be publishing many articles talking about whether or not a show will or should be coming back, while also rendering our verdict. Over the past two years our track record has been pretty solid on these, but the […]
As we get closer and closer to the upfront presentations in May, this is the time when we truly begin our discussions as to what will likely be picked up by the network for another season, and what will most-likely be taken away. “Hannibal” – This is a show that we feel is likely going to […]
While the future of “The Mentalist” may not be set in stone just yet, the folks over at Warner Bros. TV are already doing what they can to ensure that the series finds another home even if CBS opts to not pick up the show for another season. According to Deadline, the show’s future is […]
