All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
So has Britain really started to tire of “Downton Abbey“? Season 4 is the first time since the series’ inception that we have not seen the ratings surge on ITV, but at the same time, we’re not necessarily looking at a situation here where the numbers just fell out of the sky and the show was undeserving […]
While “The Blacklist,” like most other shows on TV these days, is losing a little bit of its audience over time, at least James Spader and company have found a way to really make that DVR audience stick around. This is a show that is at a far better position now than “Revolution” was at […]
NBC had a really good idea in theory to create the sort of supernatural-themed lineup on Fridays with both “Grimm” and “Dracula” being present and accounted for. So why isn’t it working out? We see this as being a problem of a few simple things, beginning of course with the fact that you strangely have […]
Matt Carter The Vampire Diaries, The X Factor
Is “The Big Bang Theory” really a ratings vacuum on Thursday night? Maybe, but what we are starting to see happen here is something more than that. Maybe some of the problem is having both NFL and college football on the night, and this could be killing primetime ratings; or, maybe just no one is […]
Tonight, Fox is going to air their final episode of “MasterChef Junior,” and this really was the Little Engine that Could of Fox reality shows. It may not have been a ratings beast on Friday night, but it was fun; not only that, but it actually had really great DVR numbers. How many times can […]
Matt Carter Pretty Little Liars
Just in case you loved “Pretty Little Liars” showing off its spooky side courtesy of a Halloween special, or having fun with the more sparse color palette seemingly available in Ravenswood, you’re going to love the opportunity to see this: The show choose to head in a film noir sort of direction with a tribute […]
It was not exactly a mystery to anyone that “Glee” was going to have some ratings woes with Thursday night’s “A Katy or a Gaga” episode. It was never believed that the viewers that came for the Cory Monteith tribute a few weeks ago would be back again tonight, especially after a lengthy layoff. Not […]
Matt Carter American Horror Story
File this one under “news you saw coming a mile away.” There is no question that “American Horror Story” is a phenomenon for FX. It is not only one of the highest-rated shows in terms of live viewing in the cable network’s history, but it is also a monster when it comes to DVR figures. […]
Matt Carter Dracula, Grimm, The Carrie Diaries
Whenever you have a new series, there is one week in particular that you dread like it is a vampire creeping up on you to inevitably suck your blood: The one immediately following the pilot. This is when you really get an idea if people actually like your show or not, since they are making […]
To their credit, ABC is making some bold decisions when it comes to their programming … and they are apparently doing it using some sort of measure that we are not quite seeing. After expressing our personal surprise earlier that “Back in the Game” has been canceled (though the entire 13-episode run will air), the network confirmed […]
