All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
For a network that is still trying to cultivate some original content, A&E is not exactly showing that they have a great deal of patience at the moment. Two weeks into their new seasons, the cable channel has completely remade their Monday-night lineup, and is putting “Bates Motel” back at a place that it performed […]
Matt Carter The Big Bang Theory
“The Big Bang Theory” is now poised to be the biggest sitcom on TV for a few more years. In a massive announcement today that many within the industry smelled coming a mile away, CBS announced that they have renewed the show through its tenth season, which basically ensures that there will be three more […]
“Glee” is getting set next week to celebrate 100 episodes, but tonight, there was another goal in mind: Trying to ensure that many of the stories at McKinley High were coming closer to some sort of natural conclusion. So what did the show try its best to do with “City of Angels”? Tell the story […]
Matt Carter The Bachelor, The Carrie Diaries, The Voice
Given how terrible the finale for Juan Pablo Galavis’ season of “The Bachelor” was, we wouldn’t have been too surprised if the ratings went completely down the toilet. However, what we were at least reasonably surprised to see here instead was that the ratings were by and large pretty constant compared to what we had […]
Matt Carter Once Upon a Time, True Detective
There’s quite a bit of good stuff to get to here when we are talking about the ratings for Sunday night, in particular when it comes to some shows that really managed to both surprise and impress. What’s one of those shows? “True Detective,” which was deceptively the biggest hit of 2014 so far. HBO’s […]
Last week, Fox announced a good many renewals that just about everyone saw coming; today, they went down the unfortunate route of announcing a cancellation that we imagine just about everyone saw coming. After four seasons on the air and plenty of crazy adventures, “Raising Hope” is no more. In some ways, it felt like […]
Matt Carter Almost Human, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, New Girl, The Following, The Mindy Project
Big news broke late Friday regarding the state of Fox’s programming: You are going to be seeing a whole lot more of it come next year. The network confirmed that “The Following,” “The Mindy Project,” “New Girl,” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” have all been ordered for additional seasons, with future announcements coming at a later date. […]
Tonight, Fox closes the door on the first season of “Almost Human,” and as we do with many other shows that are somewhat up in the air, we’re already starting to think about what could be coming up down the line. While it is very well possible that this show could be quietly canceled at […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
We’re not going to sit here and say that we really loved this weekend’s edition of “Saturday Night Live” hosted by Jim Parsons, mostly because we didn’t. What really matters for the show, though, more than our opinion is whether or not the ratings actually delivered what the NBC show has come to expect. In […]
“Call the Midwife” may be the smash hit of Britain that is really not getting the attention it deserves elsewhere. The show routinely gets huge ratings, even more so than at times another worldwide smash in “Downton Abbey.” Therefore, you cannot really be too shocked right now that the BBC have officially commissioned a season […]
