As the networks rev up toward their upfront presentations next week, lots of cancellations and renewals came swooping in over the last two days. There will probably be even more later today. So far, here’s how things have been shaping … Continue reading Lots Of Cancellations and Renewals
As we move on to the third network in my Bubble Show predictions, we take a look at FOX. FOX has already renewed a handful of shows, including Lucifer, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, and Empire. Here’s how the rest of … Continue reading FOX’s Bubble Shows: An Analysis
Last night, the big debut was Jane The Virgin, which opened to 1.6M viewers and a 0.7 in the demo. Not only did it build on lead in The Originals (1.3M/0.7), but it also doubled the audience from last years … Continue reading ‘Jane The Virgin’ Opens Solid, Builds On ‘Originals’
Castle hit a three year high with its premiere last night. Castle returned to 11.3 million viewers, and a 2.4 in the demo. That’s a total viewership down from Dancing With The Stars (12.7M), but up in the demo (1.9). … Continue reading ‘Castle’ Hits New Highs, ‘Scorpion’ Continues Strong
I can’t help but be a little disappointed at the total amount of viewers that Gotham pulled in. 8 million seems low, for a show about Batman, even if the 3.2 rating in the demo is worth being excited about. … Continue reading ‘Gotham’ has a good debut, I suppose
I know many of you are looking at the fall TV season… wondering if any of these new shows will be good… which ones will be cancelled, and this mini-guide is here to help. First of all, you can go … Continue reading Fall TV Is Almost Here…. Can I Catch Up?

SUNDAY: ABC is essentially playing it safe, and keeping Sunday Night intact. American Crime will swap for Resurrection at midseason. Resurrection was a buzzy drama that started seeing a ratings decline. Not waiting till midseason is probably a smart move. … Continue reading Fall TV: A Night By Night Comparison Of What May And May Not Work
Here are my snap judgements in relation to FOX’s Upfront Presentation today. 1) American Idol is being reduced to about 37 hours next season, down from 60. They are killing the “results show”. Kevin Reilly still believes American Idol will … Continue reading Interesting Tidbits From FOX’s and NBC’s Upfront
Below is a current list of the top network shows, AFTER DVR numbers have been added in. This ranking only affects the rating in the demo (18-49), and not the broader audience. A lot of shows aren’t really expected to … Continue reading The Top Shows of the New TV Season
NBC- The Voice is still doing good numbers on Monday/Tuesday. The Blacklist is winning its timeslot, and was the first show (technically) to be rewarded with a back-nine pickup. Chicago Fire is also doing solid numbers on Tuesday. Revolution needs … Continue reading Fall TV Season- Who Will Be The Second Cancellation?
ABC: First show to get a full season: Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD- Lets face it. If the second episode does relatively well, ABC is going to throw full support behind it. The only way this doesn’t get snapped up quickly … Continue reading Fall TV Predictions
Now that all the major networks have announced their lineups, here’s a look at each night, and a prediction of what’s going to happen. SUNDAY: 8PM: Once Upon A Time (ABC), The Amazing Race (CBS), Football (NBC), The Simpsons/Bobs Burgers (FOX) Football draws the largest audience, obviously. I expect Once Upon A Time to continue to lead in the scripted area. 9PM: Revenge (ABC), The Good Wife (CBS), Football (NBC), Family Guy/American Dad (FOX) Revenge used to be ahead of The Good Wife, but has been dipping a lot recently. I expect The Good Wife to come out on top … Continue reading Fall TV Preview: Night By Night Comparison

Here’s where I believe the FOX lineup will land, now that they have announced their new show pickups: MONDAY: 800- BONES/ RAKE (midseason) 900- GANG RELATED/ THE FOLLOWING (midseason) TUESDAY: 800-BROOKLYN NINE-NINE 830- ENLISTED 900- THE NEW GIRL 930- US & THEM/ MINDY PROJECT (MIDSEASON) WEDNESDAY: 800- X-FACTOR/ AMERICAN IDOL 930- SURVIVING JACK (MIDSEASON) THURSDAY 800- X-FACTOR RESULTS 900- GLEE FRIDAY 800- SLEEPY HOLLOW 900- ALMOST HUMAN SUNDAY 800- THE SIMPSONS 830- BOB’S BURGERS 900- FAMILY GUY 930- AMERICAN DAD/ SONS (MIDSEASON) I think Raising Hope will be used to plug a hole. It’s a pretty solid sitcom, but it … Continue reading Projected FOX Lineup- Fall 2013/Spring 2014
