All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Despite all of the hype surrounding the return of Dan Harmon, not to mention airing two of the best episodes the show has seen in over a year, “Community” still could not solve one of its biggest problems on Thursday night: Its ratings. Overall, the two-part premiere scored a 1.3 and a 1.2 rating in […]
For those of you wondering just how many people really watched the “Doctor Who” Christmas Special in Britain over the course of the past week or so, we have a more concise answer for you now. When you include recordings and other viewing figures (given that not everyone wants to spend Christmas in front of the television), […]
More than likely, you saw this coming a mile away. Thanks to fans having a full two years to catch up on “Sherlock” before the premiere of season 3 in the United Kingdom, the ratings were pretty sensational. Not only was “The Empty Hearse” the most-watched edition of the franchise, but it will go down […]
Matt Carter New Year's Rockin' Eve
Who knew that 2013 was going to be the year when Carson Daly started to come a little bit closer to actually being relevant on New Year’s Eve? We’ve given the guy grief at times, but his December 31 show is better than “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” in some ways, at least in that it’s […]
For those of you who love “Doctor Who,” you’ll probably love this news regardless of what you felt about the controversial Christmas Special: A ton of people checked in to see it, even in America where the show was at one point not that big of a success. Overall, 2.47 viewers watched the Christmas day […]
After four seasons of being constantly on the bubble as one of the lowest-rated shows on broadcast television, it’s almost appropriate in a rather sad way that “Nikita” closes out its run on The CW in much of the same way as it started: With numbers that really fail to impress much of anyone. This […]
While “Downton Abbey” may be by a wide margin the most-popular British import in America and also some other parts of the world, it is in some ways curious given that there are many series at this point more popular with viewers across the pond. As a matter of fact, it’s very likely that the […]
At the moment, NBC has to believe that the hills are alive with the sound of money. “The Sound of Music Live” is still winning pretty big for them, and at a pace that would make almost any network jealous at this point. In live+7 DVR data that came out today, it was revealed that […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
Obviously, “Saturday Night Live” is going to get big ratings when you bring back Justin Timberlake as a musical guest. But when you combine the singer and Jimmy Fallon, you apparently get numbers that are somewhat out of this world. For the new edition of the show Sunday night, NBC scored its highest figures in […]
Matt Carter Blue Bloods, Hawaii Five-0
From one standpoint, we were somewhat appreciative to see that CBS was running new episodes of both “Hawaii Five-0” and “Blue Bloods” on Friday night for everyone sitting at home. In a sea of repeats, there was something new to watch! But, at the same time you get the feeling now that this was probably […]
