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, 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).
This was actually a very good week for TV. You will see a lot more green than red. But, how about Next Caller being canceled before even airing an episode.
Week Three Top Five Winners:
1. Blue Bloods- Up 30% to 80% A week after being on the other list, Blue Bloods had a good week. It did much better without Made in Jersey. Furthermore, syndication economics work in its favor.
-2. Beauty and the Beast- Up 20% to 70% This is a simple case of a show premiering to much better numbers than I expected it to premiere to. Granted, it had the strongest lead-in of any CW show in well over a year.
t-3. Supernatural- Up 15% to 95% It rode its Arrow lead-in to a crack of the 1.0 barrier that CW shows seldom cross.
t-3. Go On- Up 15% to 90% Here is another show that recovered from being on the other list last week. It is clearly a lead-in dependent show, but there is no chance that NBC will cancel its #1 comedy. As long as it stays above a 2.0, Go On is unquestionably safe.
t-3. CSI: NY- Up 15% to 25% My guess is that the producers will want to end it after ten seasons, but should they want to continue, a 1.4 rating is passable on Fridays, even on CBS.
Week Two Top Five Losers:
1. 90210- Down 35% to 25% If it premiered to a 0.4 rating, where will it go? I am probably generous in giving it a one-in-four chance of surviving, but the CW could always give a final season.
2. Hart of Dixie- Down 15% to 45% Hart of Dixie had an alarming 29% week-to-week drop last week. Since a renewal likely would be a two-season renewal (shows with two full seasons are rarely canceled in their third), its ratings will really have to be solid.
t-3. Last Resort- Down 10% to 15% A 1.6 rating is not good, but it is in a very difficult timeslot. Otherwise, it would be in almost as bad of shape as 666 Park Avenue.
t-3. Guys With Kids- Down 10% to 20% Guys With Kids dropped by two tenths last week. If Whitney comes back on Wednesdays, I would expect Whitney to outrate it.
5. Up All Night- Down 5% to 0% Up All Night, just when it appeared to be picking up a little steam, delivered a downright ugly 1.1 rating. It is currently broadcast TV's worst performing comedy.
