TV Ratings Watch and Renewal/Cancellation Thread

[Kaiolino]

I was just making fun of Fox' (undeserved) infamy for cancelling TV shows.

[Sano]

I'm little bit worried about Bones being moved to Monday night in April. Since Monday night on Fox is looking terrible.

[Kitsune Inferno]

Monday Night is the worst possible night for Fox. It's the only night NBC has hold on, and CBS and ABC have lots of stock on that night too. That's probably going to be the channel's new death slot. :\

[Sano]

Agree. I'm still somewhat surpise at NBC is even doing well on Monday night. I'm happy for the Community fans that their show ratings are going up. Since both Community and 30 Rock (I'm a 30 Rock fan) are pretty much in the same situation right now. I have to say ABC this year have the found the prefect lineup for Wednesday night (The Middle, Subgatory,Modern Family, Happy Endings, and Revenge).

I haven't watched Revenge or much of The Middle but the other 3 shows are all ace - especially Modern Family.

[Kitsune Inferno]

Bent premiered with a 1.0 and 0.9. Ouch, NBC. Ouch.

[Kaiolino]

Bent is very easily NBC's best new comedy of the year. So of course it gets the worst timeslot possible.

[Kitsune Inferno]

"So, we've got this comedy series here with a tried-and-true TV premise that's actually very well done. Should we pair it up with Best Friends Forever at 8pm and move the ailing Whitney and Chelsea to 9pm?"

"Nah, let's put it up against American Idol, Modern Family, AND Criminal Minds for massive damage."

"But sir, we've got the potential for something people will actually watch here!"

"I know, let's burn it off in three weeks~!"

"I don't think you know what you're doing..."

"Cheers killed my father, Giles."

[Kaiolino]

They should've put it after Community. Best timeslot on the channel currently tbh.

[Kitsune Inferno]

In a move surprise to no one, NBC renews Smash for a second season.

Sorry I've been skimping on posting ratings over the past couple of days. Busy, busy.~

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Community fell to a 1.7
Awake fell to a 1.2

I no longer have reason to live.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

At least Community is the highest-rated scripted program of the night that didn't premiere.~

And the highest non-Fox, non-sports program period.~

1.7... *daggerintheheart*

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Oh, and highest rated NBC comedy for the week.... :F

[Kaiolino]

Even with these ratings Community will easily be renewed, unless NBC wants to be a whore and renew the show with more awards and movie stars.

[1000sunny]

I had little hope for Awake from the get go and told myself not to get into a show like that when I knew it was doomed to fail but...I got sucked in. If only NBC had a fire sale that put all it's good shows on networks that would actually get them ratings....

[Green_vs_Red]

All this bullshit make me glad I gave up Television. Too easy to get invested in a TV show that winds up getting canceled due to low ratings or bad timeslots or both.

[Kitsune Inferno]

Fringe returned last night with a 0.9...

Fox is seriously where shows go to die...

[Green_vs_Red]

I thought that was only if they were stuck on Fridays.

[Kitsune Inferno]

I thought that was only if they were stuck on Fridays.

*looks at The Finder, Alcatraz, Terra Nova, Raising Hope, Breaking In, and I Hate My Teenage Daughter, none of which (except now The Finder) are on Fridays*

It's not confirmed, I don't believe, but these aren't really a stretch renewal-wise.

Castle, Grey's Anatomy, Happy Endings, Last Man Standing, The Middle, Modern Family, Once Upon a Time, Revenge, and Suburgatory are rumored to be RENEWED.

[Sano]

I won't be surpised if those ABC shows be renewed. I'm somewhat surpise that Last Man Standing is still doing pretty good against CBS on Tuesday night.

[MarcelloF]

Come on, renew Cougar Town! xO

[OnePark]

Most of those shows have seen a jump in ratings from last year, so they are obvious renewals. Cougar Town will probably be cancelled.

[Kaiolino]

Fringe returned last night with a 0.9...

Fox is seriously where shows go to die...

Fox had the least cancellations of any channel last year. It's a wonder Fringe even got a forth season. Even NBC would've put it on the cancellation block last year. And there's still a possibility of Fringe getting a FIFTH season.
