All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Matt Carter Pretty Little Liars
Clearly, people who watch “Pretty Little Liars” love to also talk about it online … but what does this really mean when it comes to the success of a show? That is something that is still rather hard to pinpoint. Let’s start first of all what what has to be considered the big news for […]
Clearly, there was some intelligent design behind CBS’ decision to start off “Intelligence” following a new episode of “NCIS” Tuesday night. In attempting to capitalize on one of the biggest lead-ins on television (at least in terms of total viewers), the drama ended up posting a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic along with close […]
Clearly, there was no reason to be worried about “Teen Wolf” airing in the winter against some different competition on the air. Perhaps buoyed by a winter vortex, which understandably forced people indoors and potentially caused them to be very bored in certain parts of the country, the Tyler Posey series returned on Monday night […]
Here is something that we definitely did not see coming from Monday night’s ratings battle: “The Bachelor” actually proving itself to be more popular when it comes to live programming than many recent editions of the franchise. Despite its star in Juan Pablo Galavis being on a pretty boring and lesser-viewed season in “The Bachelorette”, […]
How is this for a surprise? Everyone knew that “Downton Abbey” would probably draw some great numbers with its season 4 premiere, but who thought that the show would actually draw better figures than every other show on the night not inflated by football? (“The Simpsons” has more viewers at this point, but may be […]
Clearly, “The Simpsons” knew what they were doing when it comes to Sunday night’s lineup. The latest episode of the animated juggernaut aired following the NFL Playoffs on Sunday night, and it delivered quite a wallop in the ratings with such guest stars as Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann, and Seth Rogen. While this number could […]
Matt Carter The Carrie Diaries
Obviously, the secret to success for “The Carrie Diaries” is pretty simple: All it has to do is find a way to air more episodes on nights where there is not much else on for people to watch. For the first time in all of season 2 on Friday, The CW series made it over […]
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 […]
