All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
The numbers are in for the “Duck Dynasty” premiere from last night, and the one thing that we take away from this right away is that the controversy regarding Phil Robertson ‘s suspension / reinstatement certainly did not help the ratings. However, talk regarding the show’s imminent demise is also a little too premature, given […]
Matt Carter The Good Wife, The Mentalist
If there are two people who we would really hate to become, it would be Nina Tassler and Les Moonves over at CBS. (Tho, we’d be more than happy to be rolling around in Moonves’ money.) The issue that they are going to have is trying to figure out what to cancel and what to […]
This just in: If you have a brand new crime drama, airing it against two other crime dramas with established audiences already is a pretty stupid move. CBS should have gotten the hint with “Hostages,” and now “Intelligence” is finding it out the hard way. The only difference between the two? We actually felt like […]
Sunday really proved itself to be a great night for Matthew McConaughey. Not only did the actor win a Golden Globe for his role in “Dallas Buyers’ Club,” but he also saw his new HBO series “True Detective” (in which he serves as an executive producer) get off to a pretty great start. Overall, the […]
Let the following news be both celebratory and also bittersweet: “The Newsroom” is in fact coming back on HBO, but it will be the end. The network confirmed that production on season 3 is going to start up this spring, with the show premiering in the fall. Not only that, but everyone from Emmy-winner Jeff […]
This is ultimately a case of both good news and bad news for longtime fans of “Bones.” While you may be very pleased to know that your favorite show is going to be continuing for a little while longer, it is likely going to end soon. While at TCA today for Fox’s panel presentation, network […]
“Sherlock” viewers have definitely gotten a clue to just how awesome this show really is. For the final episode of 2014 (at least pending some sort of miracle), “His Last Vow” ended up drawing 8.8 million viewers. That is not a record for the show by any means, but it did still prompt co-creator Steven […]
Obviously, “The Assets” was not really considered to be much of an asset at all to ABC. Only a day after the “limited series” aired what was its second episode in a timeslot that the network has success with thanks to “Scandal,” it has now been confirmed that the show will be pulled. Therefore, there […]
Matt Carter Community, Parks and Recreation, The Big Bang Theory
It is rare that you have a night when almost every show on the air seems to do better than the week before, but when it comes to January 9, we cite the week-to-week improvement as a result of people settling into their weekly routines more than they were right after New Year’s Day. The […]
Matt Carter Chicago PD, Law & Order: SVU
You can say what you want when it comes to “Chicago PD” not exactly being the most original show ever created, and it largely being an attempt for NBC to create another Dick Wolf franchise now that “Law & Order” is on its last legs with only one show left. But while neither version of […]
