It was really not that long ago when “NCIS: Los Angeles” was considered to be one of the more stable, solid hits on network TV. Then, CBS decided that it would be a good move to move it to Monday nights. It was thrown into competition with “Castle” and “The Blacklist,” two shows who already […]
For one reason or another, ABC is always late when it comes to announcing which shows are getting renewed and which are getting canned… at least compared to many other shows on broadcast TV. Maybe this conservative approach helps the network ensure that they don’t bring back any shows that will turn out to be […]
Remember when Marvel’s “Agents of SHIELD” was a smash hit in its early episodes on ABC? We thought for a brief period of time almost like this was a show that was an unstoppable force. If only the quality was as good the first five or six episodes of the series as it is now, […]
There are times when we have a hot-and-cold opinion on “Person of Interest.” Some episodes we find to almost be too grim and depressing for our taste; however, when this show is firing on all cylinders, it feels to us like one of the greatest shows on CBS. It can be fiercely intense, and Michael […]
There are not many opportunities that we even have to do Ratings Debate articles this year for shows on The CW. The majority of the shows are already renewed, and it feels pretty clear that they are moving on from “Hart of Dixie.” Everyone involved on the show seems to believe that it’s canceled, so […]
With the majority of the Ratings Debate articles that we’ve written, we’ve had a chance to write them at least without there being too much writing clearly on the wall. This is not the case with “Revenge.” ABC has already released a promo suggesting the final four episodes this season are the final four period, […]
This Ratings Debate is all about a show that is very near and near to our heart. You see, we’ve watched every season of “The Amazing Race,” every episode. We’ve literally never missed one. We’ve also watched every episode of both the Australian and Canadian versions of the show. No, we have not seen “The Amazing Race […]
For the latest chapter in our Ratings Debate series, we turn to a show that seemed at one point destined to be the next “Criminal Minds,” or a show that could be destined to go for at least ten seasons or so: “Hawaii Five-0.” What happened to the momentum of this show? Direct competition with “Castle” every […]
We must admit that we are somewhat surprised that April 15 is approaching, and there is still no official renewal for “Blue Bloods.” Admittedly, this is something that we expected to see announced weeks ago. CBS tends to release bulk renewals for its shows in March, but for some reason this time around, they clearly […]
Will “Bones” be done piecing together cases on Fox this spring? Just like when we focused our Ratings Debate feature yesterday on “Castle,” we are turning today to another show in a most unusual situation. After all, we are not looking at a product here that is facing strictly a renewal / cancellation issue; it […]
