Now comes a time that we as a reporter hate: Having to be the bearer of bad news when it comes to the fate of a TV series that we personally very much enjoy, and on this occasion this said show is none other than ABC’s critically-acclaimed “Happy Endings.” So yes, the irony here is […]

This was a rather strange year when it comes to comedy. There was not a breakout show on any of the major networks, all new comedies with the exception of “The Mindy Project” fell off the map, and while “The Big Bang Theory” found yet another way to trounce the other shows in the ratings, […]

Bad news for longtime fans of “Happy Endings”. It’s starting to look more and more as though the series is not going to be having much of a happy ending at all, unless a network swoops in like Superman to save the critically-acclaimed show from cancellation at the last minute.

With good news inevitably comes bad news for someone else in the TV business … which also means that some people on this list are going to have some pretty sad Mother’s Day coming up. While ABC was very generous when it came to some of their renewals, including some that we did not see […]

On Friday, both “Hart of Dixie” and “Beauty and Beast” were officially announced as coming back for additional seasons, which was easily enough to make these fans throw themselves a little party.

Ratings: ‘Nikita’ season 3 rises; ‘Happy Endings’ falls even further

Matt Carter — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:02:25 +0000

Not only has ABC’s “Save Happy Endings” campaign failed pretty miserably in moving the show to Friday nights, we’re also now unsure if the comedy is even going to be able to find its way to USA based on some of its latest ratings. After at least debuting last week in the 8:00 and 8:30 […]

Ratings: ‘Nikita’ season 3 slips, ‘Happy Endings’ improves, and ‘Vegas’ returns with a thud

Matt Carter — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:45:18 +0000

Let this be even more proof that moving your show to Friday nights is more or less the TV kiss of death these days if you are a scripted property. Example #1: look at “Fashion Star,” which literally drew an anemic 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic that is absolutely keeping “Grimm” from being as […]

Good Friday is not traditionally one of the better days of the year for TV ratings, since you have so many families either traveling or off doing other things in preparation for Easter Sunday. However, there were at least a few networks that tried to do something, to albeit pretty mixed results. First of all, […]

On Friday, “Happy Endings” is returning to ABC for the first time in a little while with new episodes, and ABC has taken some pretty interesting steps in order to get the word out. You may have seen already the promo that blatantly says that viewers can “save” the show by checking out the new […]
