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 […]
It’s always fascinating to us to see how many shows far once programming resumes in the new year, especially since it helps to show just what is on the rise, what is starting to slide, and the networks that are making the best decisions at the moment. After a disastrous Tuesday that saw both “Go […]
We expected much of NBC’s lineup to perform well against mostly repeats, but who expected “Chicago Fire” to suddenly become one of the top-performing new dramas of the new season in one night? For at least one week, it seems to be true. Overall, the firefighting drama scored a very impressive 2.4 rating in the […]
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 […]
NBC wasted almost no time at all on capitalizing on some of the season-high ratings for new season “Chicago Fire.” Only a matter of hours after the fireman drama’s ratings came in (boosted largely by a new episode of “The Voice” serving as its lead-in), the network decided to give the show a full season.

Just in case there was not enough concern over the future of “Fairly Legal” on USA after Michael Trucco signed up for a guest arc on “How I Met Your Mother,” we now have yet another reason to be concerned now. Multiple sources have now confirmed that Sarah Shahi, who is the star of the […]
What a difference one week makes. At this time last Thursday, we were pretty much calling that “Chicago Fire” would be slowly turning to ash in the TV graveyard by this time a few months down the road; however, the Dick Wolf series may have now been granted a reprieve to keep it around for […]
For those of you who were interested in seeing where some of the new shows of the season were eventually going to end up in the ratings, Wednesday night’s lineup was a pretty strong indicator for you as you had some shows rise to the occasion, and a few more start to trickle down after […]
When it comes to the battle of new shows to stay alive, there is clearly one winner now on Wednesday nights, and it’s on a network in The CW who has famously fallen hard year after year as of late: “Arrow.” As a matter of fact, we would be readying the full-season order now if […]
When NBC has their upfront presentation next week, it’s pretty fair to say that they are not going to have as much to announce as some of the other networks out there. After all, they have just revealed that “Law & Order: SVU” is indeed going to be returning for season 14. Mariska Hargitay will […]
