Lethal Weapon, Ratings Bubble Report
When Fox decided to order “Lethal Weapon” to series, they took what we felt at the time was a rather big chance. The upside for the series was that it could become for them almost what “Hawaii Five-0” is over on CBS, a really fun, high-stakes remake that allows for some opportunities for people to […]
Game of Silence, Ratings Bubble Report
On paper, “Game of Silence” is one of those shows that really does have the potential to be like a “Secrets and Lies” or “Revenge” and expand beyond just a great premise into several seasons on the air. Unfortunately, at the moment there is one thing that it is still lacking in order to truly […]
When you look back at this time last year, we imagine that NBC had some hopes for “Heartbeat” to be a huge player on the schedule. However, ever since that time a few different things have changed. For one, star Melissa George’s pregnancy pushed the show back from the fall to midseason, where it arguably […]
Containment, Ratings Bubble Report
If there is one thing that we have come to learn about The CW over the past season, it is this: The network is crowded. VERY crowded. This no longer is a place desperate fill up time with repeats or imports of British / Canadian shows during the main season. There are more programs than […]
Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, Ratings Bubble Report
There is probably no single show that is as interesting to us as “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” when it comes to the whole “will it be renewed?” debate. It’s a show that on paper, should have a good chance when you consider the name of the franchise, the ratings so far, and the notoriety of […]
Ratings Bubble Report, The Catch
If there is one thing that we’ve come to see over times with shows executive-produced by Shonda Rhimes on ABC, it is this: They tend to last a rather long time. “Off the Map” is the only series that you can really claim just didn’t work out, but “The Catch” may be facing a rather […]
When CBS chose to greenlight an adaptation of “Rush Hour” for their primetime schedule, they seemingly had one motive in mind: Trying to appeal to a slightly-younger crowd. It didn’t stray too far from the sort of crime shows that define their roster, but at the same time it is at least trying to bring […]
Ratings Bubble Report, The Family
We’re in the month of May, and of course with that means one thing more so than anything else: The return of some Ratings Bubble Report articles! We did some of these earlier this year with shows that were struggling to find their footing, but with midseason now come and gone, we’ve got a few […]
Ratings Bubble Report, The 100
Today marks the final entry of our Ratings Bubble Report series, and we’re choosing to wrap things up today with a show that is still very early in its run on The CW: “The 100.” While only two episodes have aired of the third season so far, we’re already starting to get an indication that the network […]
Ratings Bubble Report, Supergirl
We have to admit that when we were a few episodes into the first season of “Supergirl,” we had a great concern as to whether or not this show was going to be getting a second season. Superhero shows come with a hefty price tag, and CBS has high expectations compared to The CW, where […]
