All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Matt Carter BBC One, The Voice UK
For the first time in around three weeks, the folks over at “The Voice” UK finally have something to be excited about: The ratings not being completely horrible for a week! So how did the show manage to pull this off? They went back to Saturday night after a week of being on Friday, and […]
Another few days have passed, and there’s still no word on a “Bunheads” renewal. As to why there is more anxiety in the air than usual regarding the show the past few weeks, it’s because ABC Family has long said that their primary reason for waiting to decide the show’s fate is the performance of […]
This test run for John Oliver as host of “The Daily Show” is in some ways a tad unfair. He is going to be consistently compared with Jon Stewart no matter what he does, and this is a rather difficult thing to handle since there is really only one John Stewart. Not only that, but […]
Matt Carter Pretty Little Liars
Remember that old phenomenon known as shows losing viewers as they age? That isn’t happening with “Pretty Little Liars.” ABC Family has to be more than thrilled about the numbers that came in for Tuesday’s mid-season premiere. Not only are they up versus 2012 in all key demographics, but we’re talking about double-digit increases when […]
Brace yourselves: We’re about to open up a massive can of controversy on “The Voice.” We’ll start by saying this: We like Blake Shelton a lot. He seems to be a guy you’d want to hang out with, he knows his type of music really well, and his “aw, shucks” demeanor and finger-pointing self-promotion are […]
Even though Fred Armisen may have left “Saturday Night Live” this spring, it looks like it is now guaranteed that his other show is going to stick around for quite a while moving forward. IFC announced on Wednesday that “Portlandia,” their sketch comedy series featuring Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, has been renewed for not just […]
Over the weekend, we posted an article explaining how ABC Family was basically torturing not just fans of “Bunheads,” but also people on the show by basically putting a decision for season 2 on hold so they can see how their summer shows fare. As we said then, this has to hurt the most for […]
As you may know already, “Continuum” has already been picked up for a third season by Canadian network Showcase. Sadly, this does not guarantee that the show will continue airing new episodes on Syfy in America, but the latest ratings for the show are definitely a step in the right direction. In its new time […]
Following the Red Wedding episode of “Game of Thrones” last week, there were all sorts of threats from people around the country to stop watching the show thanks to Robb Stark’s death. So did that actually happen? Not exactly. Instead, the HBO series nearly set a new series high with 5.4 million viewers, just 100,000 […]
Matt Carter Britain's Got Talent
How’s this to perfectly illustrate the lack of a rivalry right now between “Britain’s Got Talent” and “The Voice” UK? While the latter singing competition languished on Friday night, the final for the enormous talent competition ended up scoring over 11 million viewers once figures on the ITV+1 channel were counted in after the fact.
