All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Very rarely do you see a situation where a cancellation actually ends up helping a network right away, but boy, did we see that with CBS on Friday night. Without “Made in Jersey” dragging the place down, their entire schedule saw higher numbers this week. “NCIS” kicked things off with a 1.2 rating in the […]
Maybe MTV had a feeling that “Jersey Shore” was starting to lose some steam going into 2012, but we have to say that we really do not quite understand what the network’s strategy has been exactly when it comes to promoting this show. First, they decided to overkill the franchise by having something on their […]
Even though the announcement was not made alongside some of the network’s other shows, this was in many ways a foregone conclusion: “Suits” was going to be back for some more episodes next summer. Now, it’s finally official. In a statement Friday, USA programming heads Jeff Wachtel and Chris McCumber had the following to say […]
No matter how hard that they try, ABC can just not find a way to air during that 8:00 p.m. Eastern timeslot on Thursdays that actually works.

Two weeks in to the fall season, and CBS has decided to be the network with the guts to pull the trigger on a show that just isn’t living up to their hopes. So what show was this in particular? Let’s just say that it was one that the network, which has really struggled this […]
Sometimes with ratings, it’s all about perspective; and as excited as we were to see “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” appear on TV for the first time on The CW Tuesday night, it was hard to be thoroughly excited about it. Why? It’s a series designed for the web that has been free to watch for […]
