All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Was “The Walking Dead” the most-watched program in cable history? If you exclude sporting events from the equation, then we now have a definitive answer for you with the live+3 data included: It was. In what is a truly gargantuan and astounding number, the show’s season 4 premiere on Sunday night drew more than 20 […]
CBS may not have a breakout hit comedy yet of the fall season, but after canceling “We Are Men” after only two episodes, the network is showing now that they have no problem giving some of their other programming a little bit of love. Therefore you can stop asking “is ‘Mom’ going to be canceled,’ […]
TNT has finally ended the extensive waiting period of the future of “Franklin & Bash.” Is it canceled? Hardly. Instead, the show and its devoted following can celebrate the show coming back for a fourth season. Most of the other shows on the network had their fate determined a little bit earlier in the year, […]
Remember just a matter of two weeks ago, when everyone was lauding the big ratings that “Super Fun Night” had drawn in the premiere? Well, the show now appears to be heading in a direction that “Cougar Town,” “Happy Endings,” “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23,” and “How To Live With Your Parents (for […]
Want some sort-of good news when it comes to some of ABC’s new comedies?

It was not entirely ridiculous to think that “Homeland,” like almost everything else on the planet, would have some sort of shared audience with “The Walking Dead.” So to actually see the Showtime series not lose any viewers against the AMC behemoth? Let’s just say that it was a major reason to have your jaw […]
For the first time, we may actually have some sympathy for the likes of “Revenge” and “The Good Wife,” whose fans complain incessantly this time of year that “The Walking Dead” eats a chunk of them like a relentless zombie wandering outside the walls of a prison. This show, just when you think that it […]
Matt Carter Sleepy Hollow, The Big Bang Theory
While we’ve seen an assortment of ratings data over the past couple of weeks, today marks what is really the first time that the live+7 data has come out for any show since the official premiere week (starting on September 26).
