All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
There’s a reason why Comedy Central promotes the heck out of their annual celebrity roasts: They are almost always big performers in the ratings, even if they air late at night and often do not even feature some of the most-popular comedians on television. Overall, this year’s edition starring James Franco easily clobbered the more […]
For those of you out there who are fans of “Mistresses” (and we’ve seen plenty of you over the past couple of days), there is some good news coming in now from a mere ratings perspective. While the show is still leagues away from being renewed for a second season, we’re seeing now that there […]
Well, this is something that you do not see very often in the singing-competition genre: A new season actually building an audience from the previous year. If only America could figure out what is going on overseas in Britain, they would be in great shape. The tenth-season premiere of “The X Factor” on Saturday improved […]
For fans of “Longmire,” the wait to hear if this series would be renewed was hardly much of a wait at all. Thanks to a whole heap of viewers, one of A&E biggest scripted hits has been officially green-lit now for a third season. What continues to remain particularly remarkable about “Longmire” are a couple […]
What in the world is happening with AMC’s new “Low Winter Sun“? It was a show that we had high hopes for going into this summer, and it is actually a show that is improving week to week. It reminds us somewhat of “The Bridge” on FX in that we find it to be very […]
While TV Land’s signature sitcom “Hot in Cleveland” may now be well on its way to airing its 100th episode, it appears as though “Happily Divorced” is not going to be able to celebrate on anywhere near the same level. The Fran Drescher comedy, which aired its last episode in February, has been officially canceled […]
It was hardly a surprise to see “Breaking Bad” decline in its second week on the air this summer. The anticipation for “Blood Money” was huge, really to the point where it was trending on Twitter almost all week long and the show drew nearly a whopping 6 million viewers. For a show that started […]
If you subscribe to Starz, the next few months are going to be an exercise in patience. There is the exciting new pirate drama coming up in “Black Sails,” though we must admit that just saying the words “pirate drama” is enough to get us excited. The network also has some other exciting stuff in […]
For those of you who are wondering whether or not “Whodunnit?” will be killed off following its first season, we still do not have an answer for you. However, the improved ratings for the show’s first-season finale on Sunday night prove to us that there is still a great deal of potential in a show […]
As a TV ratings junkie, it is always interesting to see the impact that change can have on a series … though more often than not, many have determined that change is not necessarily good. Just look at the sentiment of “Happy Days” fans following the exit of Ron Howard, or “That 70’s Show” for […]
