As Gotham season 4 ratings fall, is the Fox series in some danger?
We’ve come to love Gotham a lot as a television series — it’s funny at times, dramatic at others, and it really captures the Batman world in a way that really few other products have.
Ratings: The strength of Criminal Minds, Survivor, Law & Order: SVU
In this edition of Wednesday ratings we’re celebrating strength in consistency for Criminal Minds, Survivor, and more. One of the things that most major television networks want to see in 2017 is that their shows are going to perform well and withstand whatever is thrown at them.

Supergirl season 3 ratings fall hard; Valor starts low, Scorpion season 3 rises
The first Supergirl season 3 ratings are in, and let’s just say that they leave a little bit to be desired after one episode.

The first episode of their Kyra Sedgwick series, despite a good lead-in from Shark Tank, drew a woeful 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and slightly less than 3.5 million viewers. The total viewer […]
