The Muppets Rose on last week, Still not a great number but its a sign the show has maybe hit its floor and if it remains around 1.4-1.6 that is a lot better then what ABC was doing last year in that slot and I think it wil be renewed for another season to air next fall

Limitless also was up on last week

Wicked City had a terrible debut, I'm really scratching my head why they cancelled Forever, (I maybe biased as I loved that show) but all they've done so far is air repeats of Shark Tank in that slot and now Wicked City debuting at 0.9 and will surely only go lower, I think Forever only went that low once in the spring as well and was always around 1.0-1.2 every week

Forever was a ratings flop. The second half of the season actually rated between 0.9-1.1. It deserved to be cancelled. But some ABC's renewals were a little off the mark last season. They renewed Galavant, which performed much worse than Forever, and also American Crime, whose demos were pretty much the same as Forever.

Thanks for the corrections on Muppets and Limitless. I agree. If The Muppets sticks around that type of demo, it should manage a renewal. It should be a due a full season order soon.

Shame about Wicked City, was going to give that a watch as it looks quite interesting but just going to leave it now it's flopped hard.

Forever's numbers weren't amazingly terrible but they weren't especially good either. It hit a 0.9 three times in its run which obviously isn't great but from January-May it averaged a 1.0 so it wasn't quite as terrible as a lot of what ABC have seen in this slot. I think they made the right decision to can it. I don't imagine the numbers would have rebounded in the Fall this season and ABC are already carrying a lot of dead weight.


Galavant actually outperformed Forever. It averaged a 1.3 across its season although admittedly a lot of that was the result of an elevated opener. I can see why they kept it. Its a difficult sell and think its worth seeing if they can grow some kind of cult audience for it. Plus it fills a potentially awkward slot for them while Once Upon a Time is on hiatus.


American Crime of course is critically acclaimed awards bait. Plus ABC/Disney would quite like to be in the John Ridley business which gives the series more rope. And ABC really want a full on anthology series to call their own.

Galavant did and in some ways did not out perform Forever

The last four episodes rated at

0.9 0.9 1.1 1.1

Episode 3 and 4 rated at 1.3. To be fair, the first four episodes rated well. But the last half bombed.

So it was on par with Forever in some ways. Apologies again. My facts have gotten me wrong again.

As for American Crime, I find the excuse of critical acclaim and award bait a bit tiring. Not from you personally, but in general. It's all well and good earning and winning awards, but awards do not make you money for the network and that is essentially what it is at the end of the day, money. That's why NBC got rid of Hannibal in the end. Because despite three critically acclaimed seasons, they made little money from the show.

Just because it's flopping, doesn't mean you don't have to not watch it
It's an anthology show, so therefore it will have start, middle and end. I will be watching it regardless

I've watched the pilot & thought it was fairly good. A bit same old same old with the acting, but it was fairly risque for a network show. Taissa Farmiga is always worth watching although her acting will never match that of her big sister.

I think it's a show with a lot of promise. I often find first episode of a series a bit of a settling in period with characters and storyline. Next week onwards should be more of a deciding point I think.

Personally, I really enjoyed it and will be following it.

Not a fan of Taissa at all.

Code Black wont get a 2nd season, its 50/50 if it even gets a back order really now, I know standards on down across the board in this day and age and CBS has really felt that the worst this year in my opinon but a 1.1 on a show just a few episodes In just isn't worth carrying on with

Its only hope is that CBS has nothing to put in its place but Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders is waiting to go so will likely replace it in the spring and have its Parent show as the lead in

If Supergirl's ratings hold then I hope it encourages CBS to do different dramas next season. I wouldn't be surprised if it or Scorpion end up being the post Super Bowl show

I can't see Code Black getting a back order either. I would expect a confirmation of an episode reduction soon.

It will either be replaced with Rush Hour or the new Criminal minds spin-off.

CBS also need to deal with CSI Cyber as well, which is doing much worse.

HTGAWM falls. Sleepy Hollow rises

HTGAWM seems to be suffering from the sophomore slump. It's no where near the danger zone but it has lost some of it's audience this season. Far from the breakout hit it was a year ago. A shame. I think it's as brilliant as ever.

HBO has announced Vinyl will air on February 14th with a two hour premiere followed by the return of Girls and Togetherness a week after. Wonder what HBO is airing in January since that's the usual slot for their Winter shows? I guess it also means Game of Thrones will be airing on April 17th since it usually airs in the Spring.

Speaking of HBO, I wonder when Westworld will debut? I personally think they should pair with GoT and move Silicon Valley and Veep to the summer and pair with Ballers and a new comedy,

Anyone know the ratings for 'Jesse Stone: Lost In Paradise' shown on Hallmark last Sunday?

No. I find it difficult to find Hallmark's ratings. I am always trying to find ratings for specific shows or films of theirs that I follow. If i do, i will post them here.

Friday's ratings

OK Thanks.

Hopefully it did well enough for them to do more Jesse Stone TV Movies in the future.

One a year would be nice.

I imagine the Jesse Stone films do well internationally and they fit the Hallmark brand so I imagine they'll do more. I think CBS didn't want anymore because they skewed very old, they didn't own it and they wanted to get out of the TV movie business.

Sports did not help scripted shows this week at all.

I thought the other channels normally show repeats when major sports are on?

It varies but they should do.

I wonder if cable was affected. Especially TWD

The Walking Dead - 13.34 million
The Librarians - Episode 1 - 2.25 million
The Librarians - Episode 2 - 1.95 million
Homeland - 1.49 million
The Affair - 886k
The Leftovers - 663k

Not Brilliant for The Librarians. It was earning double that last season.
