All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Whenever you look at the ratings for a show, there are a number of variables to always keep in mind, whether it be the lead-in, the competition, or even if there is some other sort of special occasion going on in the world. At this time every year, there is one excuse that always trumps […]
Matt Carter Happy Endings, New Girl
This is a plea to all major broadcasting networks: please change the schedule up no. Airing all of these comedies at once is turning out to be a terrible idea, and all of them are suffering in the process. Thanks to this baffling decision, the numbers are getting so bad that we are set to […]
Old habits die hard, and the latest example of this is watching the third season of “The Voice” continue to slowly drop in the ratings … even though we are looking at a far better show here than we were during season two.For whatever reason, it gets a little tiresome for some viewers after the […]
What is incredible about seeing a show like “The Walking Dead” is not just that it is now the high-rated drama series on television; it’s also the fact that it is finding a way to keep its awesome reign of terror going during one of the busiest times of the year. We have not really […]
Matt Carter Last Man Standing, Shark Tank
Well, so much for the hope that ABC was going to revive TGIF with “Malibu Country” as well as “Last Man Standing.” Despite getting off to an incredible start just two weeks ago, the two sitcoms are now sinking like a stone and more likely to be canceled than stick around for a full season. […]
Lisa Kudrow is proving that television can not only spin off effectively from the internet, but also be strong enough to build beyond just an initial viral explosion. “Web Therapy” is one of the best examples of an experiment gone right; not only is it thoroughly entertaining, but the TV version adds so much more […]
ABC waited as long as they could to bury this story over the weekend, but the sad news is coming out now: “Last Resort” and “666 Park Avenue,” despite both improving creatively over the past several weeks, are officially no more. Both shows struggled in the ratings almost from the get-go, and they each also […]
Matt Carter Rules of Engagement
Weeks later than many of us expected, CBS has finally made a decision when it comes to “Partners” … and it’s not a good one for Michael Urie and the rest of the cast. After several weeks of middling ratings leading up to a series low Monday night, the network has made the decision to […]
Matt Carter Person of Interest, The Big Bang Theory
CBS got off to a slow and at times embarrassing start this season, but even with all of this in mind, the network has to be jumping for joy at the results that many of their shows brought in Thursday night. After a year of uncertainty last year, the network has finally found a companion […]
Matt Carter American Horror Story
Before “Duck Dynasty” and “American Horror Story: Asylum” each premiered earlier this fall, we have to admit that there was no way in the world that we suspected that the former show would end up dominating the latter in just about all key ratings measures, but it is happening. Not only that, but the Robertson […]
