    Lovely to hear The goldbergs has done well over the summer. I am hoping it see's an increase ratings for season 2. It isn't the most funniest or original show on television, but it's an easy and enjoyable watch for 20 mins. It doesn't try too hard. I like that.

    and yes, the Penn and teller show is the UK one we had air over here. I don't know why The CW purchased a three year old show but the success of it could lead to a US version, as the UK version did poor in the ratings and was cancelled.

    Just done a bit of researching, and you are indeed right, The CW bought the axed ITV series that aired 3 years ago and put it on primetime US television. And if that wasn’t surprising enough, its been a ratings success for the channel. The episodes are actually slightly cut down versions of what ITV aired, but Jonathan Ross is still present as the host.

    I also think this could lead to a US version being produced seeing as there aren’t many episodes of the ITV original. Plus it would be relatively cheap for The CW to produce. Maybe Jonathan Ross will be asked to host and get a big break in the US. Funny how things work out...

    I am expecting a third season renewal for Dome but a cancellation for Unforgettable. It has great ratings but fails in demos.

    On the fence about Extant though. Changing it's timeslot lost a few million of it's audience.

    I'll be interested to see what effect, if any, Big Bang Theory's move to Monday nights will have?

    I think it will be pretty stable, I really can't wait to see how Mom does after it repeated the same as BBT the other day, it should be hitting highs. It was getting around a 2.0 demo following HIMYM which was getting around 3.0 demo, so to follow Big Bang which gets around a 5.3 demo, it should be hitting 3.0 (this would be above what The Millers was doing after Big bang).

    Meanwhile, Utopia is not doing well according to last night...

    CBS:
    Big Brother- 6.79m (2.3)
    Fashion Rocks- 2.37m (0.6)

    NBC:
    Food Fighters- 4.46m (1.0)
    Americas Got Talent- 9.71m (1.9)

    ABC:
    Extreme Weight Loss- 3.83m (1.0)
    Shark Tank (r)- 3.28m (1.0)

    FOX:
    Utopia- 2.50m (0.9)
    Hotel Hell- 2.42m (0.9)

    CW:
    Arrow (r)- 920,000 (0.2)
    Supernatural (r)- 700,000 (0.2)

    What a waste of $50 million for Fox!!! That's literally over 50% drop from the first episode in demos!!! The total viewer numbers are embarrassing also. Fox better hope Gotham and some of their shows debut well, otherwise they could be a lock for a 4th place this coming season. Big Brother, meanwhile, is still getting good numbers, despite very negative reception this season. As for Fashion Rocks, what was the point? Might as well be on The CW.

    So 50 million dollars down the drain and to think, they could of used some of that money on a show like Almost human which was a solid performer. Then again, this is fox. They have a great track record of shit decisions.

    Canceling Almost Human was an idiotic move by FOX. Yes, the numbers were going down as the season went on, but so did virtually all new dramas that season. True, it was on the bubble, but the network should have given this show a second chance. FOX's decision to even order the fifth and sixth season of Glee was another wrong choice. The numbers were quickly eroding by the fourth season's end, to the unacceptable level. Their fifth season was doing worse than The Mindy Project (which should have been axed) and almost on par with Bob's Burgers (!!!!) - that's saying something.

    FOX is really in for a rough ride this season. The sitcoms are likely to fall further, especially New Girl. Gotham looks promising, but it might end up like SHIELD on ABC and what kind of money can Idol bring? Their ratings are one thing, but having to tour on smaller venues (with some closing off sections) and theatres shows how much the show has fallen. Bones might be a consistent performer, but that's uncertain also.

    Looks like ABC can breathe a sigh of relief, despite a very challenging Sunday, Monday (seriously, does anyone even care about DWTS???) and Tuesday lineup!!!! Their Wednesday, Thursday and Friday shows are most likely to be potent performers and bringing their season average up.

    Weds early ratings. All programming at 9pm originally were delayed by 15 mins, expect more adjustments than usual in final ratings for all channels.

    CBS:
    Big Brother- 6.94m (2.4)
    Under The Lights- 2.91m (0.7)
    Extant- 3.84m (0.7)

    FOX:
    Hells Kitchen- 4.21m (1.5), 3.95m (1.4)

    NBC:
    Americas Got Talent (r)- 6.85m (1.2)
    Americas Got Talent- 10.56m (1.9)
    Taxi Brooklyn- 6.55m (1.1)

    ABC:
    The Middle (r)- 4.31m (1.0)
    The Goldbergs (r)- 3.89m (1.0)
    Modern Family (r) - 4.39m (1.2) and 3.89m (1.2)

    CW:

    I agree. Giving Glee a two season order was a silly mistake. Realistically, if it hadn't, i think FOX would of cancelled it last season. The Mindy Project should of deffo been axed but i do wonder what FOX's intentions are. Season 3 only has a 15 episode order, so it's not as if it's anywhere near the amount of episodes for syndication for FOX to want to waste money on additional episodes. Then again, they did keep Till death on the air for 4 seasons and that was a ratings disaster from the start.

    I adore Bob's burgers but it's ratings are crap. Once season 5 has aired, it will likely be cancelled and they will have more than enough for syndication. Much like The Cleveland show. But could the fact that the show recently won "Best animated television show" at the emmys have helped it's future much more. I don't know.

    That's what I've been hearing to.

    Also agree with not being able to wait for the new shows to begin. Here's the list:

    This coming week is when they start, with FOX comedies returning on Monday, before next Monday and that whole week where a lot of shows will start.

    While we wait for the new season to start, I’ll share some season to date (since Feb. 17, “Live plus Same Day”) ratings for the networks late night line ups.
    As you can see, NBC considerably out performs the other networks, with the Fallon getting a better demo than some primetime programmes. At 11:30pm NBC’s Fallon gets a higher demo than CBS’s Letterman and ABC’s Kimmel combined, and at 12:30am NBC’s Myers beats ABC’s Nightline and gets almost double the demo of CBS’s Ferguson.
    It’ll be interesting if CBS can fight back with their new Stephen Colbert/James Corden line up in 2015.

    11:35 p.m.-12:35 a.m.
    NBC “Tonight,” 3.884 million viewers - 1.19
    CBS “Late Show,” 2.515 million viewers - 0.48
    ABC “Kimmel,” 2.495 million viewers - 0.62

    12:35-1:05 a.m.
    ABC “Nightline,” 1.551 million viewers - 0.39

    12:35-1:35 a.m.
    NBC “Late Night,” 1.612 million viewers - 0.56
    CBS “Late Late Show,” 1.274 million viewers - 0.31

    1:35-2:05 a.m.
    NBC “Last Call,” 0.871 million viewers - 0.32

    Penn and Teller currently have a show on Showtime which sounds slightly similar so The CW picking up contracts for them would be good, and possibly doable through CBS ownership

    Are you refering to Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t on Showtime? If so did that finish a few years ago? It used to be on FOX here in the UK.

    I'm not surprised that Fallon is leading the late night schedule. He has had great guests and his segments even attracts lots of views on Youtube. I'm surprised that Kimmel is beating Letterman in demos and catching up in total viewers. I thought people only watched Kimmel's post-Oscars specials but it seems to be more than that now. Looks like ABC has more confidence in Kimmel now, after switching with Nightline. Sad that Ferguson is low on demos and his show is about to end soon. It will be interesting if Colbert and Corden can challenge NBC. I know that Colbert's show on Comedy Central is doing well for the network. It's also interesting how just over 870k viewers stay up to watch Carson Daly.
