By renewed, I mean that a show will be on the schedule for the 2013-14 season. The fact that Go On, The New Normal, Revolution, Ben & Kate, Arrow and The Mindy Project have received full season orders does not signify a renewal. However, last year, every show on the Big Four that did so was renewed (though that is not usually the case).
Week Four Top Five Winners:
1. Two and a Half Men- Up 30% to 75% I get that some of its bump was due to Miley Cyrus being on the show. But how many times have we seen a guest actor not do anything to help a show. My guess is that the four-season rule may apply to the Kutcher episodes separately.
2. 90210- Up 25% to 50% On the CW, the numbers are so close together that predictions can change quickly.
3. Arrow- Up 19% to 99% Arrow has officially dethroned The Vampire Dairies as the #1 CW show. I am just hesitant to move a new show up to 100%.
4. Revolution- Up 14% to 99% We recently saw that Revolution has excellent C3 ratings. Furthermore, it saw a sharp increase last week. If it holds up next week (it is preempted by the debate tonight), it may make the move to 100%
5. Raising Hope- Up 10% to 65% Ben & Kate's drops mean good news for Raising Hope.
Week Four Top Five Losers:
1. Nikita- Down 40% to 25% I know that most third-season shows get a fourth for syndication, but a 0.3 is just bad. It will likely drop to a 0.2 by spring. Imagine a rounded 0.0 in spring 2014!
2. Beauty and the Beast- Down 30% to 30% It is never good news when a rookie show drops by nearly 50% in Week Two.
3. Ben & Kate- Down 25% to 20% I know that it was leading into the debate, but a 1.2 rating is pathetic. It will be lucky to air all of its 18 episodes.
4. Emily Owens, M.D.- Down 20% to 10% I had expected this one to do a little better than a 0.5 for its premiere.
5. Chicago Fire- Down 20% to 10% At this point, its only hope is that SVU's costs are getting too high. Other than that, 13 episodes is its likely fate.

So far, nothing new that I like has been in a position to get the axe. With so many awesome shows available, I’m glad that I have sweatpants and DVR days to feed my TV need. I just had a friend that works with me at DISH talk me into getting a Hopper DVR to manage all of my TV schedule. It’s pretty cool to not have to worry about setting any timers for the big 4 channels’ PrimeTime; it auto-records them all with its PrimeTime Anytime feature. Now I just need to make time for shows like Arrow, apparently. Cheers to the exiting shows and the new ones taking their place.
