All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Matt Carter Nikita, Shark Tank
Several weeks ago, we first praised the move by ABC to move “Shark Tank” to 9:00 p.m. Eastern as a brilliant move that made the show into a smash hit. However, we’re not quite so sure now that it has worked out as well when it comes to the network actually supporting their new shows. […]
January is traditionally an interesting month of the year to watch when it comes to television, as the shows that typically fare well here are the ones that we will see around for another season in the fall. There have been some surprises this year, but also some disappointments based on what the networks were […]
As much as it pains us to say it, Fox may have made the right decision in canceling “Ben and Kate” based on the numbers that are coming out now. Without the anemic lead-in for the first time all season, “New Girl” recovered with its best numbers that the show has had in 2013 thus […]
The first news we want to point out here should make big-time fans of “The Following” grin from ear to ear: the serial killer drama managed to actually rise in the ratings in its second week, and finished with a very impressive 3.3 in the 18-49 demographic. It’s so rare to see any show (especially […]
Matt Carter House of Lies, Shameless
This is turning out to be a rather great day for television … or at least for popular TV shows getting to stay around a while longer. Rather than breaking down some of the renewal news into a series of tiny articles, we’re going to bring all of it to you (or at least what […]
Early on this season, it’s looking more and more like some critics were a little to eager to write “Chicago Fire” off. It had a title that was a little too obvious for many, and there were also plenty of questions as to whether or not executive producer Dick Wolf could really do for fireman […]
“The Good Wife” season 4 has vastly improved following the great Kalinda disaster of fall 2012, but sadly, some of the viewers that may have been scared away during that time are still not back. For whatever reason, Sunday night’s all-new episode, its first following a week off for the AFC Championship Game, drew only […]
Matt Carter The Big Bang Theory
When we posted the DVR ratings for “The Big Bang Theory’s” first season 6 episode of 2013 last week, we were instantly curious as to whether or not the next episode was going to top it, given that it drew a series-high rating in the 18-49 demographic when it aired for the first time. As […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
You cannot blame the ratings bump for “Saturday Night Live” last weekend anymore to fans of “The Hunger Games” deciding to check out the show. The numbers are in for Adam Levine’s broadcast, and overall the Maroon 5 and “The Voice” fanbases were big enough to help make up for any discrepancies. The show posted on […]
Before “The Following” even premiered on Fox, the network made what was a smart but very risky decision to actually promote the show by not only sharing its premiere date and time, but also imploring viewers to “set their DVRs.” This was one of the few instances in which a network actually decided that it […]
