All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
It’s hard to say what Fox was thinking here save for that maybe they wanted to save a little bit of face, but the decision has finally been made about struggling freshman series “The Mob Doctor.” Of course, the end result is not a good one. Basically, the Jordana Spiro drama series will be allowed […]
It looks like Emily Owens is going to be checking out … at least once its initial 13-episode run comes to an end. On Wednesday, one day after the show once again tied its season-low 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic, The CW confirmed that they have given up on the future of “Emily Owens […]

For the second straight day, we have a rarity to report when it comes to the TV world: solid improvements when it comes to many shows in the ratings.

Well, if you are looking for more thing to blame for the mediocre ratings for Lifetime’s “Liz & Dick” TV movie, you can probably say that “The Walking Dead,” even though the two would seem to have very different fanbases, more or less ate it and everything else alive.

One week after being off the air due to the American Music Awards, the […]

We’re not sure about how The CW must feel at this given moment. From one standpoint, the network executives must be over the moon that they drew two 0.5 ratings in the 18-49 demographic for a very tough night in Black Friday … especially when this was an improvement of 20% on the network’s performance […]
At the moment, the folks over at Discovery are truly taking no prisoners. Only a matter of days after ending one of their most-successful long-running shows in “American Chopper,” the network is once again making another shocking move; though this time around, they are dropping the guillotine on Mike Rowe’s series “Dirty Jobs.” Rather than […]
Matt Carter Chicago Fire, Survivor, The X Factor
We say this just about every year, but for whatever reason networks never listen: why in the world are you airing new programming on Thanksgiving? This is a day when routinely there are very few people with the time or the patience to tune in to new episodes, especially when there is everything from travel […]
