Tonight, CBS is saying farewell to one of its freshman series in “Code Black” … but is it going to have an opportunity to stick around for a sophomore year? That is certainly a subject that is worthy of a little bit of discussion here. Overall, the show has averaged so far a 1.3 rating […]
Who doesn’t love it when football stars turn up in unexpected places? CBS has been able to bring a lot of NFL personalities onto their shows this year thanks in part to Thursday Night Football, but the one we’re about to get with Odell Beckham Jr. on “Code Black” is a little bit different. After […]
American Idol, Code Black, Hells Kitchen
By most accounts it turned out to be a quiet Wednesday insofar as TV ratings go. There were no sweeping changes across any network, but we do at least have a few numbers that we want to make you aware of as of right now. The winners – How about “American Idol” for not losing anyone […]
How much more evidence do you really need that airing a new episode of something the day before Thanksgiving is a bad move? In making this decision, Fox may have jeopardizes the uber-hit potential of one of their biggest shows … or at least they have lowered the season average by a wide margin. The […]
It looks like “Code Black” is not going to be in need of a revival anytime soon. Today, CBS confirmed that they have ordered five more episodes of the Marcia Gay Harden medical series, which brings its total to eighteen on the season. Can we say that we are even remotely surprised by this move […]
Code Black, Ratings Progress Report
Going into the start of the fall season, we very much got the sense that CBS was fairly happy with “Code Black” as a concept. While there have been a billion or so hospital series produced over the years, few have that sort of perfect storm of a great cast, intense moments, and gritty realism. […]

First and foremost, here is the news we definitely saw coming: More “Limitless.” The network has officially ordered a full-season run of the movie adaptation after […]
Code Black, Empire, Supernatural
Wednesday night’s ratings for the most part are a reflection of the ones that we’ve seen throughout the week for the most part. There are no substantial changes, but for a few shows in particular you have signs of life or at least consistency. Winners – “Empire” has improved for the first time this season! It’d […]
Arrow, Code Black, Empire, Rosewood
It’s a little early to start proclaiming “how the mighty have fallen” when it comes to “Empire,” but at the moment, it is at least clear that the show is moving from uber-hit to just “hit” status in its second season. The great news is that Wednesday night’s new episode drew a 4.6 rating in […]
For one reason or another, “Empire” is starting to lose some steam already in its second season. Did Fox get a little greedy with the show? For the time being we’d say that our immediate answer to that is “yes.” Maybe they should have kept the show around 12 episodes, and then waited until the […]
