All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
When we talked about some of the recent ratings that were coming in for “Revenge,” we did so with a word of caution that they would likely change pretty dramatically based on DVR figures. Why? One of the show’s two most-recent episodes was in competition against the Grammys, and after so much event television the […]
Matt Carter Oscars, The Amazing Race
“Amazing Race” fans, don’t hit the panic button: while the CBS competition series fell to a series low on Sunday night, it’s hard not to just assume that it is because of the steep competition caused by the Academy Awards. Save for the Oscars, “The Amazing Race” was the only new program on the night, […]
You have to love what FX has going on for itself at the moment; not only has John Landgraf set up a pretty great relationship between the network and showrunners (as evidenced by how loyal such folks as Graham Yost and Kurt Sutter have been over the years), but they also have done a rather […]
While there are a pretty heavy percentage of cynics out there who want to see “Survivor” fail for whatever reason, there are also plenty of other people who still love the show after all of these years, and don’t want to see it go anywhere at all. Luckily, we are one of these such people. […]
Do you hear that sound? It is of network executives crying underneath their desks. This has been at times an atrocious winter season, and based on the newest ratings that have come in, and does not look as though the bleeding is going to stop anytime soon. Save for “The Following,” has there been any […]
The ratings are in for Sunday night, and it turned out to be a very good one for the National Geographic Channel. The cable network otherwise known affectionately as Nat Geo (which is certainly a lot easier to roll off the tongue) have been delving into the scripted arena as of late, and it certainly […]
Just as we saw last year, there is a sense of panic starting to settle in among fans of a couple of selected ABC shows. After all, “Once Upon a Time” and “Revenge” have two of the biggest fan followings out of any series on the network, so we understand there being case for concern […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
While Christoph Waltz ended up hosting one of the best editions of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, this does not always equal great ratings. What’s the reason for that? It’s pretty simple: no one knows whether or not an episode of the show is going to be good in advance, and save for fans of […]
Thursday night’s TV ratings were bad; Friday, meanwhile, may as well be called the post-Valentine’s Day massacre. Things got very ugly on most of the networks as we saw at least two shows that are guaranteed to be canceled, The CW air a movie that nobody watched, and plenty of other shows that will be […]
Well, the “Community” bump did not last very long, at all. After a season premiere that allowed everyone to see just how badly this show misses Dan Harmon (even though it was not necessarily terrible), the second “Halloween on Valentine’s Day” episode shed almost half of its audience in the 18-49 demographic. Check out the […]
