All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
After pretty much no waiting whatsoever, HBO confirmed on Tuesday what has to be television’s worst-kept secret these days: “Game of Thrones” will in fact be back for a fourth season. The producers have, after all, already started to work on the story for the ten upcoming episodes, and so the network was obviously just […]
Just in case you were wondering why a show like “Revenge” drew only a 1.5 rating in the 18=49 demographic Sunday night, here is your answer: “The Walking Dead” and “The Bible” ate it alive. When it comes to the former show, AMC’s zombie hit set yet another record with a 6.4 rating in the […]

There’s really not enough happening right now when it comes to TV ratings to justify multiple stories on this, but we have some pretty interesting things to share from both Wednesday and Thursday nights here. First of all, we have to talk about the complete decimation of “American Idol.” What is going on here? While […]
When “The Neighbors” first came on TV in the fall, it would probably be an understatement to say that we weren’t fans of the premiere: it was one of the strangest things we’ve ever seen, and we didn’t quite “get it” in the same way that others did. The show has found itself a devoted […]
Well, sometimes a little bit of controversy is all you need in order to get viewers checking out your show. After rumors started to swirl about Jay Leno’s future on “The Tonight Show,” including whether or not Jimmy Fallon could replace him as early as fall 2014, curiosity in actually seeing what Leno would say […]
We’ve wrapped up our ratings debate articles when it comes to some of The CW shows currently on the bubble, so with that in mind, it only seems appropriate now that we cross over to another network in ABC with a number of other question marks.
