All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
What CBS is starting to experience in terms of their Monday-night programming, or really their entire lineup in some ways, is not the fault of any one show. It has more to do with what their model has been of relying on the same hit shows year after year. Eventually something is going to falter […]
Earlier this year, The Nielsen Company announced that they were going to start a new measurement that attempted to quantify something that has become increasingly important to many networks over the years: How many people are actually tweeting about the show? To us, this is a cool statistic to know, but at the end of […]
Now in its second week, “Masters of Sex” is clearly working to prove in the ratings that it is no “Low Winter Sun,” at least when it comes to bombing in the ratings following a good performance from its lead-in. In its second week on the air, the Michael Sheen – Lizzie Caplan period drama […]
Based on the reaction that we’ve had to the “Hell on Wheels” articles that we penned over the weekend, one thing remains fairly clear: A good many folks out there are hoping for a renewal and we’re one of them. While we didn’t particularly love every aspect of the finale (mostly Elam getting randomly attacked […]
What a bad, bad year that we’re looking at for ABC at this point. We said quite a while ago that “Lucky 7” and “Betrayal” were doing to be the two leading candidates to be canceled before the start of November sweeps, and we now stand by that more than ever before. The former series […]
The ratings are in, and Sunday night’s stunning “Downton Abbey” season 4 episode did not exactly set any records despite having what was one of the most stunning events to take place in the history of the series. Not only that, but you get the sense that show has lost some of the momentum and […]
Sunday night marked the end for AMC’s “Low Winter Sun,” a show that certainly ended with a much different feeling around it than back when it began. This was a series airing after “Breaking Bad,” and largely considered by many to be the sort of thing that would benefit from it like seagulls on the […]
This has been quite the revealing summer for AMC when it comes to their plans for the future. Are they still producing some original shows? Sure, but this is starting to become the “American Mundane Channel” when it comes to fresh and innovative ideas. Is “The Walking Dead” a smash hit? Then give it a […]
After the ratings for “The Blacklist” dropped a decent number in between the premiere and this past episode, the critics rushed out from their little critic-caves with all sorts of commentary about how this was the signal that this was the show becoming “Revolution” 2.0. The ratings were only high because of “The Voice,” nobody […]
Even though the numbers may have dropped in the second week, NBC has clearly decided that they have seen enough when it comes to “The Blacklist” to make a big leap: The super-cool new show from the network is getting a full 22 episodes. This is the first show technically to get this particular honor, […]
