All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
For those of you who were worried (like we were) about the future of “Dallas” on TNT, allow us to put your mind at ease. The popular primetime serial is coming back for more. Despite losing substantial viewing figures in its second season versus what we saw in the summer of 2012, the network has […]
Five episodes in to the latest season of “Game of Thrones,” and the viewers just keep climbing. The landmark series started the season off with strong numbers, but it is now getting close to topping “True Blood” as the highest-rated series on HBO, and it may even do so based on how that show kicks […]
Matt Carter Britain's Got Talent, The Voice UK
In the ongoing ratings battle between “Britain’s Got Talent” and “The Voice” UK, what we are really learning at this point is that later really is better, at least when it comes to when the shows air on the schedule. It’s almost ironic in a way that the BBC One singing competition drew its lowest […]
Matt Carter Happy Endings, Nikita
On Friday, both “Hart of Dixie” and “Beauty and Beast” were officially announced as coming back for additional seasons, which was easily enough to make these fans throw themselves a little party. However, there was not so much in the way of good news concerning another CW series in “Nikita.” Could the show still return? […]
As it turns out, this Friday is quickly becoming national renewal day. You may have heard the news earlier that NBC ordered additional seasons of many of its hit dramas, and we’re now hearing that The CW has also picked up a pair of its fan favorites. Ultimately, these two renewals were expected to happen. […]
Throughout most of its run on TV, we’ve compared the ratings trajectory of “Duck Dynasty” to another reality sensation in MTV’s “Jersey Shore.” While the content is very different (one’s a family show, one’s clearly not), both shows hit some huge ratings during their third season. With that in mind, we almost expected the adventures […]
Matt Carter Game of Thrones, Vikings
Just like Danaerys Targeryan, “Game of Thrones” is starting to slowly and surely build an impressive army. After some TV critics out there chose to poo-poo the show’s season 3 premiere ratings (despite them being the strongest yet), everyone seemed to forget one thing: The show was up against “The Walking Dead” finale! The two […]
In case you were wondering why there are rumors about Fox canceling “The Cleveland Show,” you don’t really have to look any further than the latest ratings for Sunday night’s primetime schedule. While this past episode did not have the benefit of airing on a night of all-new programming, a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 […]
Every network seems to have their own bubble show these days, where devoted fans go through just about everything imaginable in order to convince the network to bring it back. For many years on NBC, that show was “Chuck.” Meanwhile, Fox just went through something similar in “Fringe,” and CBS even had nuts sent to […]
Let it be known: If you take advantage of having “The Voice” as a lead-in, then you will be punished and punished hard. Despite some steady promotion and a desperate attempt to have their own version of “The Bachelor,” NBC has officially made a move now to cancel their dating show “Ready For Love” after […]
