SpoilerTV Cancellation Predictor Table 2013/14

21 May 2014

Share on Reddit


Update: 21st May For those asking me, although the predictions part is over, the table is still being updated based on the ratings that are still coming in.

Update: 12th May - Final Thoughts Well another season Renewals and Cancellations has come and gone. I hope that not too many of your favourites were cancelled.

Overall we're very happy with the accuracy of our Predictions again. Here are some highlights.

- Every show we had as "Looking Safe" was renewed.
- Out of 35 Shows we had as "Likely to be Cancelled", 31 were cancelled. 1 of those, Glee, has already been renewed before the season stared. The other big shock was BATB getting renewed. Not many TV sites had predicted that.
- We had 21 shows in the "In Danger" section. 8 of those were cancelled.

See you all soon for the 2014/15 Cancellation Predictor Table!


Can't see the table? Check out our Troubleshooting Guide
NOTES - Please Read:
1) The Higher the Index Rating number the more likely a show is to get cancelled, lower numbers = safety.
2) This is an ongoing exercise that I hope to refine each week to make the index more accurate.
3) Only the major networks are included currently ie ABC/FOX/CW/CBS/NBC.
4) This chart is a prediction of all the shows using our own formula based on the viewing numbers, 18-49, and + 7 Numbers. These 3 factors are the main weighting of the Index number, however we also factor in things such as the Network they are on (eg CW shows get lower numbers), the day of week they air (eg Fridays are lower numbers), DVR Numbers and +7 and +3 numbers,DVD/Blu-Ray Sales,Production Costs, Cast Contracts/Availability, Syndication, online popularity such as streamed views and Torrents, Nielsen Online Ratings etc.
5) Shows still might not get renewed despite good numbers due eg a show coming to an end of run eg HIMYM is in it's finale season no matter what the ratings are etc or could be due to key cast wanting to leave after their contracts have expired. An example might be Supernatural if it’s two leads, Jared and Jensen wanted out, would Supernatural be renewed even if it had good numbers but no leads for the new season? etc
6) Remember Ratings are relative to ratings for other shows on the same network.
7) Shows that have been renewed for a New Season are marked in Blue
8) Shows with an Index over 2.70 are likely to be cancelled, 2.40-2.70 - in danger and less that 2.40 safe. Although shows nearer 2.40 are more in danger than a show with a lower index.
9) You can access this page via either the Start or Features Menu above or simply by Bookmarking it.

Here is a direct link to the full spreadsheet.

    I love this. It's always fun and usually they get it right.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Can't wait to get started

    ReplyDelete
  4. Oh awesome! This season is gonna be great! :D

    ReplyDelete
  5. And it has begun!


    (Is it me or does that list seem longer than usual...?)

    ReplyDelete
  6. It is, there are actually more new shows than returning shows this season.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Ya I tried watching it and I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes. It was horrible.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Did anyone else notice that there's not an NBC show on the list...yet?

    ReplyDelete
  9. There are loads on the chart.Blacklist, Chicago Fire, Revolution, Law and Order,

    ReplyDelete
  10. Revolution, Blacklist, Law and Order, Chicago Fire

    ReplyDelete
  11. One of my favourite parts of the site! Love this table even though it gives me anxiety sometimes =P. I guess since Nikita is announced as over anyway I won't have to refresh every time the ratings come out.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ha, yes. What other shows are you worried about ;)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Sorry, I meant highlighted in yellow...yet

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh I see ;)

    Yep, as noted, this table is not going to be very accurate until the majority of shows have aired and we have 3-4 weeks of data. Premieres and pilots tend to rate high to start with but fall off a lot afterwards. By the end of Oct we should have a much clearer picture of how things are ranking.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I loved Hostages...hope it does better and sticks around!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I love that you guys do these tables, thanks for all of your hard work on our behalf!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks cris, that's very kind. It's our pleasure.

    ReplyDelete
  18. This table is great, but I am so confused: What does the index actually mean? Like, 2 Broke Girls has 1.55... is that a demo-rating? What causes that to decrease or increase as the weeks pass by? I've read the rules you posted, but I still don't understand.. is anyone up for helping a TV fanatic out? :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I missed this so much. This cancellation table has helped through a lot and will continue to help me in the future plus its also fun

    ReplyDelete
  20. No, the number "Index" is a number that is calculated by using a number of criteria as outlined in the Notes eg Demo, Viewers, Syndication, Online, +3 viewing, +7, etc All those are put into a formula and it then gives us a number that you see in the chart above. If you look at previous years charts you will see that it's proved remarkably accurate in predicting which shows will be renewed/cancelled etc.

    ReplyDelete
  21. This table gives me the goosebumps. :D waiting for it to get updated soon, when the other shows air.


    I'm sad to see Hostages in danger, especially because I was so excited about this show but the premier was quite dissatisfying, hope it picks up. The Blacklist on the other hand, SO GOOD.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well in terms of continuing shows actually most are fine, Beauty and the Beast is back and Hart of Dixie. Arrow is going strong so I don't see an end for that any time soon and Vampire Diaries will get another season. I watch ABC Family too which doesn't get on the table anyway and they cancelled the lying game and bunheads... pretty little liars is still going well and twisted/fosters at least got more episodes. New shows- The Tomorrow People, Originals, Almost Human and Dracula are my plan so I will be refreshing for them!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Agree with you there.. I thought it was good and hope more people watch it. The rest of the yellow - no surprise other than the fact they should be red already and that Mom wasn't yellow already. I'm on the fence about a couple of new shows though.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm a big fan of the cancellation predictor table, it was fun last year.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Another two more seasons of Supernatural please...

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'll be really surprised if Hostages, Lucky 7, Betrayal, Mom and Dads aren't cancelled soon. Mindy Project might survive because its in season 2.

    ReplyDelete
  27. still too man episodes from syndication for Mindy to survive, at the end of this season it would still need 2 full seasons I just dont see it surviving but it will obviously depend on the rest of FOX's line up and their pilot slate.

    ReplyDelete
  28. its highly unlikely Hostages will suddenly start doing well enough for a renewal. The question now is if CBS will air out all 15 episodes, reduce the order or yank it off the schedule?

    ReplyDelete
  29. American Dad is renewed but moving to TBS after this season!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thanks, I'll make sure its updated for the next update.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I was hoping for it to stick around to tell the story and not get yanked half way through, I haven't thought about renewal of anything yet! Just have to wait and see I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  32. What I would change:
    - Mom: In Danger
    - The Mindy Project: In Danger
    - We Are Men: Likely to Be Cancelled
    - The Mentalist: In Danger (or Likely to Be Cancelled)

    - The Good Wife: In Danger
    - Nashville: In Danger
    - Revolution: In Danger
    - Trophy Wife: In Danger
    - Back in the Game: In Danger
    - Brooklyn Nine-Nine: In Danger

    ReplyDelete
  33. "Mom" won't be cancelled soon I think. CBS will pull the plug on We Are Men, but they won't pull the plug on two of their comedies, plus Hostages. I think Mom will get a timeslot change to see if it improves. Although it hasn't been building on 2Broke Girls, it has been retaining almost all of its rating; the problem is said rating has been very low to begin with. Plus, it's Chuck Lore, so it will get a chance.

    As for Dads, I think it will be cancelled, but I doubt it will be pulled as soon as some are expecting.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Dark, is there a systematic way to find the online, +3 viewing, +7 viewing for all shows? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not easily. They tend to be released piece meal via network press releases.
    Or you can get the whole tables via Nielsen http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/client-login.html

    ReplyDelete
  36. If you drop me an email I can email you an example of what they send out each week.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks! So you have to pay to access those Nielsen tables, right? Sorry to bother with this, it's just curiosity and also sometimes there are details I would like to know when I try to understand why one bubble show was picked over the other. And since I am taking advantage of you being nice, does it also show the demo breakdown? Like 18-34, Male or Female, etc? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  38. Drop me an email and I'll send you the spreadsheets so you can see for yourself ;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. The "Notes" section I think needs to be updated slightly... in the fifth item on the list it says Fringe is in it's final season.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love this chart, its such fun!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think there is a problem on the chart near the bottom there is a show called 1.63 on NBC.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thanks. That should be Law and Order : SVU.

    I'll make sure it's fixed for tomorrow's update.

    ReplyDelete
  43. For people who very maturely downvote me, I was not, by any mean, expressing a personal preference for the shows, but rather an opinion on their survival's chances.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Mindy's Project is so good! I don't get why people don't like it!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hi Dark ! Do you think CSI's 14th season is the last ?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Too early to tell. We really need 3-4 weeks of data.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have a suggestion: How about you post what numbers actually have been updated?

    For example on a Wednesday, I only wanna see how the numbers of New Girl, The Mindy Project, Agents of SHIELD etc. (the shows that aired the night before) have changed. Is it possible to somehow post the old and new Index Rating of the shows that have been updated that day at the top of the page so I don't have to go back and compare it with the old chart?
    Something like that would be so awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Tom, nearly all the numbers get updated even if a show doesn't air.

    A lot of the numbers are relative, so if a Show on ABC does really well then the other shows with a smaller rating gets adjusted, likewise if a Show does really badly then the other shows on that network get adjusted.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh okay, I didn't know that :) thanks for the quick answer. it obviously wouldn't make sense to post all of those numbers above...

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yep, what you can do if you are really interested is to save the image each time we make a new update, then you can compare the images. However you should probably wait until we have at least 3-4 weeks of data and the numbers flucuate a lot

    ReplyDelete
  51. I actually did that last season for quite some time once a week with the additional information of which show moves down, which show moves up etc.


    I would love to do something for SpoilerTV based on your Index, if you're interested.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Drop me an email tomorrow and we can see what we can do. I'm just off to bed ;)

    ReplyDelete
  53. will do. I'm off to bed, too.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Cuervaverdinegra4 October 2013 at 20:52

    We have the first "winner": Lucky 7 :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hostages need to explain more, or else its going to get cancelled , because of the what next factor... they kill the president in 2 weeks then what, they don't kill and keep dragging the Hostage situation long till everyone gets Stockholm syndrome.

    Ironside might get cancelled, I felt the first episode was too much all at once, maybe they didn't need to explain his handicap station in the first episode, maybe later would have been fine, and on top of that they made it seem like everyone in the show was a bad ass character of its type, the main character Ironside the handicap that can pack a punch and get girls like a pro, Virgil the they break the door, blunt in your face guy, Teddy the accountant smart man in the team, Holly the hot chick, but good detective with shady connections? former messed up in partner, the Asian Boss a friend and a boss... too much all at once.

    Betrayal Infidelity...

    ReplyDelete
  56. Soso Kuratishvili5 October 2013 at 10:00

    Why likely to be cancelled is beginning on 2.71 ? I thought it was beginning after 2.75

    ReplyDelete
  57. Sorry, I did not update the Color Code descriptions. We tweaked the formula based on the last 2 years of doing this. Anything over 2.70 is now considered Likely to be cancelled.


    When I next update the chart I'll be sure to update the descriptions on the table.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Soso Kuratishvili5 October 2013 at 11:36

    Ok thanks for the information :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. I like Hostages but idk if it will be picked up. I doubtit, they might do what they they did for the Ashley Judd show Missing and call it a "mini series"

    ReplyDelete
  60. Missing was a decent show and had a really sucky cliffhanger-ish ending.

    ReplyDelete
  61. How come White Collar isn't on the list at all? It's premiering this month too right.

    ReplyDelete
  62. The table only covers shows on broadcast networks. White Collar is on USA which is cable.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Because it does not air on a Broadcast Channel. Please read the notes that explain what this chart is ;)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yes just did, thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Read it now, thanks :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. White Collar will have a shortened season; supposedly so Graceland can come back early.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Aside from premiere episode, season finale and specialty episode- cancellation announcements are the most entertaining and intriguing part of the tv process. im excited to see who stays and go its like a sporting event- blood bath.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Nawaf Karmustaji.10 October 2013 at 13:10

    Hart of Dixie is always in danger but I love how Cw renews. God I hope I dont jinx things. its amazing and deserves to be renewed

    ReplyDelete
  69. It's funny I keep seeing Hostages come up in cancellation discussions. But I thought it was a limited run anyway that it was purposefully only like a 15 episode or something show, not meant to be a full series? So I dont see why it would be cancelled? Its odd that it isn't doing better since Toni Collette is simply fabulous as usual and actually Dylan McDermott who I can usually take or leave is pretty good as well. I do know someone who stopped watching it because they felt it was too intense after the second episode.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Beauty and the beast - Likely to be cancelled

    LOL Beasties. Where are you now.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Bones should have ended last season. I really hope it doesn't get renewed - I want it to come to an end.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I don't know why so many think that but the show is not a limited series. It was supposed to be a full fledged show but with these ratings one season is all it'll get.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Mark David Green11 October 2013 at 11:25

    It's that time of year!

    ReplyDelete
  74. You forgot to put Us and Them at the top of the list the way you did with Murder Police. I'm loving this table!

    ReplyDelete
  75. That's because US and Them will actually air, so they will be ratings to add. Murder Police was cancelled and the episodes will not air :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. The two shows on your Likely-to-be-Cancelled list that I think are worth saving are: "Hostages" and "Betrayal." If CBS changes it's time slot so it doesn't go up against "The Black List," then "Hostages" stands a chance of finding/keeping an audience. "Betrayal" has a good lead-in with "Revenge" but the cast (with the exception of the lovely Brit, Hannah Ware) is just not attractive enough for what is basically a romantic drama--the husband & boyfriend could be clones. Plus, "Betrayal" is filmed on location in Chicago--and very, very few series survive with the Windy City as a backdrop (even the very excellent "Boss" was cancelled after two seasons on Showtime).

    ReplyDelete
  77. Oh, I completely forgot that! Good thinking!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Not necessarily bad, but the network (FOX) wanted the show to go in a different direction, and are instead trying to shop the series to other networks that may like the creative direction the show was taking.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Why do people keep assuming things are limited-run series? It has 15 episodes instead of 13 or 22, granted, but Hostages was just as viable to be renewed as any other show.


    Basically, no series that ever airs on television is a one-time thing (not talking cancelled, talking specifically ending it after a single season). They always have hopes of renewing it.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Nope. Intended for 15-episode seasons, so it was a limited series, but never a mini-series. It was fully able to be renewed had the ratings been good.

    ReplyDelete
  81. The showrunner said that they have a plan in mind to to run it for multiple seasons, but each season will have only 15 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  82. osman babayiğit12 October 2013 at 21:17

    Seeing Hart of Dixie in ''In danger'' section makes me sad!

    ReplyDelete
  83. It will be added when we do the next update early next week.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Always enjoy this, but Wow, y'all love to live on the edge..you are going to get flack..Beauty & the Beast likely to be cancelled. lol Did not care much for last year, but this last ep looked a little better. Supernatural is my show.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Lying Game is cancelled??? How did I miss this? Heck!!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Ha, well the numbers very rarely lie ;)

    ReplyDelete
  87. Should be there now in the latest update.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Hart of Dixie is one season away from having enough episodes to go into syndication, so it has a better chance of renewal than Beauty and the Beast which has two seasons to go. I'm expecting some kind of renewal for it, although if things go too low, it may be a Nikita like few episodes to wrap up hanging threads and not a full season to hit 88 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Nawaf Karmustaji.13 October 2013 at 15:27

    I agree with you. I hope more people watch Hart of Dixie though. Cw Should have Renewed Secret Circle and Ringer

    ReplyDelete
  90. and again, we fight for Beauty and the Beast. Love this show. Hate that I live in Germany.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I watch BATB on Sundays in Canada, on Showcase channel. I don't get the CW channel so cannot watch it on Monday nights. Does that have an adverse affect on the ratings?

    ReplyDelete
  92. Unless you have a Nielsen Ratings Box installed in your home, then no.

    ReplyDelete
  93. The Mentalist doesn't look good. :-/ Any chance it will be just in its final season?? I actually hope so.

    ReplyDelete
  94. This says it was updated on the 15th but when I open it I keep getting the same table from the 9th. Is this right?

    ReplyDelete
  95. Press Ctrl-F5 on the full image. It sounds like your browser has cached the old copy

    ReplyDelete
  96. Please make The Mentalist last -at least- one more season !!! The show is so much more interesting than things like CSI with its 15 seasons...

    ReplyDelete
  97. osman babayiğit15 October 2013 at 21:09

    Hart of Dixie is looking safe now. yeah!

    ReplyDelete
  98. CW with only one show in red/yellow. Shocking!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Brooklyn 99 is funny! Give it a shot! 3 1/2 men is a bomb these days!

    ReplyDelete
  100. So... how much longer until NBC pulls Welcome To the Family in exchange for Community?

    ReplyDelete
  101. I absolutely hate this because BATB is an amazing show! It's on a bad night and the fact that it has gotten ZERO promotion from the CW hasn't helped. I bet if they had made half an effort like they did for The Originals we would be seeing something totally different. It's up against stiff competition that night & yes I think them airing it a night early does affect the ratings because they put it online for people who then download it which then affects the ratings for people to watch it live. Domino effect. I do wonder if maybe it would do better on Friday nights. The fan base is there for the show. If it wasn't it wouldn't have been renewed for a 2nd season in the first. We're the ones doing the promoting for the show not the network which really sucks! Thank goodness my other favorite SPN is kicking ass!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Nicole-bi Wan Kenobi17 October 2013 at 15:52

    I think if The Mentalist is renewed, it will be a "okay, but this is the last time," renewal. I think it will end after this season, and I kinda want it to-I'm not tired of it in the slightest, but I think it's getting to be time.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Did I miss the announcement about US and Them being cancelled?

    ReplyDelete
  104. I'm confused hart of dixie got 0.4 how does that qualify it to be safe?

    ReplyDelete
  105. http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/10/us-and-them-episode-order-reduced.html

    ReplyDelete
  106. The production was stopped, but there is no official cancellation yet.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Question: How come "Us & Them" is highlighted black in the white "unaired" section, but "Muder Police", which also never aired is highlighted black and given a rating at the top. If both shows never aired, where did that rating come from? Shouldn't it be blank & black down in the white area alongside "Us & Them"?

    ReplyDelete
  108. Murder Police never aired. Us and Them will air and will have ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I really like this site. I don't want Revolution to be cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Good, Bones looks safe!

    ReplyDelete
  111. BatB has so many International Fans across the globe - literally - who most probably do not contribute to these ratings due to reluctancy to download accessibility for fear of getting virus on the computer. This is one example. There may be others. This show is so much loved by so many fans. It is becoming more intriguing and exciting with each episode. This show is the love of all the Beasties. CW PLEASE NOTE!

    ReplyDelete
  112. I don't want BATB to be cancelled!! I really like this show.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Dark : What's your own opinion about the chance CSI has to get a new season ? Do you think Mentalist will be cancelled ?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Thanks ! :)

    ReplyDelete
  115. Of whats currently airing on NBC Revolution is in its top 5 shows (Blacklist, Chiago Fire, Law and Order, Micheal J Fox, Revolution). Hannibal and Grimm are the only 2 second year shows currently not airing on NBC. That means NBC can't cancel Revolution because they would be putting all their faith in new shows to bring in big ratings which is extremely likely, at least a couple new shows will crash and burn.



    Also while I agree FOX should cancel Dads and Mindy project all their actions indicate they won't. Mom's and sean saves the world had more scripts ordered so i doubt they will be cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Revolution is actually one of NBC top shows, thats how bad the network is doing. If they cancel they are stupid because they will be putting all their trust in new shows to pull in big ratings like dracula, believe, crisis, night shift and crossbones.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Hi, this site is amazing! I know next to nothing about all of this but was wondering how you came to place Reign in the looking safe category? I'm a fan so I was glad to see that, but had been concerned when I heard it got fairly low ratings. I was just wondering if you have any insight on that?

    ReplyDelete
  118. EuphemiaWonderland23 October 2013 at 00:57

    I don't watch Hart of Dixie but I predict it will get renewed because of syndication. Also it's a lot cheaper to produce than BatB,

    ReplyDelete
  119. Any word about the NBC show Siberia?

    ReplyDelete
  120. It was not actually a NBC Show. They just purchased the rights to air it.

    http://www.sierra-engine.com/Library_Details.aspx?FilmID=d89568ca-011c-4ed9-b4cf-3fc4ed0029aa

    It's assumed cancelled as the NBC press site removed all their pages for Siberia and there has been no update.

    I emailed both NBC and the company who made it but they have not yet replied.


    All signs point to Season 1 being the only season.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I think Beauty and the beast will be safe there high than last year and it so much better than last season.

    ReplyDelete
  122. high is bad, the higher to the top(right zone) the more likely to be cancelled. currently its the most likely to be cancelled show.

    ReplyDelete
  123. but the shows is higher than hart of Dixie. i think hart of Dixie is in more danger to be cut. The fan are not really happy that the story line keep told over and over again.

    ReplyDelete
  124. no you are completely misunderstanding the chart. look at the notes above the comment section of this page and also read the index on the chart.



    on the chart red means really likely to be cancelled, yellow means in danger, green means likely safe.


    Beauty and the beast according to the chart is the show most likely to be cancelled.



    Hart of dixie is less likely to be cancelled because it is really close to synidcation. Synidcation means when a show gets 80 epsiodes it can be reaired during the day like gilmore girls, friends, etc and they can make more money off the show.


    Like i said before the higher the number for the show on the chart the more likely the show is to be cancelled. You should ask Dark UFO to explain this to you he runs this site and can explain it better than me.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Mentalist gets better ratings than Bones and yet it is in jeopardy. Take mentalist off of doomsday sunday and it might perform like it used to.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Alessandra Rossi27 October 2013 at 09:06

    BATB gets the most views on most sites and all reviews always have positive comments or feedback by fans and even yet, we all 'like' or thumbs up each others comments but still the show might get cancelled, its slightly upsetting - we win so many polls online and were in the running again for peoples choice which we won last year against all these shows which apparently aren't going to be cancelled :(

    ReplyDelete
  127. That is factually incorrect, not to mention irrelevant. Shows are compared to shows within the same network so comparing The Mentalist with Bones is irrelevant for their survival chances. Moreover, Bones has averaged a 2.1 this season so far, while The Mentalist has averaged a paltry 1.4. How is that getting better ratings?

  128. Your perception that quality has improved this season has nothing to do with its renewal likelihood, which depends on its ratings

    ReplyDelete
  129. - The Mindy Project could eke out another season due to its 18-34 performance. It is a bubble show
    - Parks and Recreation is a bubble show because it is the highest rated NBC comedy and gets syndication money from additional episodes.
    - Revolution and Parenthood are bubble shows
    - CSI is a likely almost certain renewal. Why would CBS cancel it when it is doing better than Elementary, Hostages, The Mentalist, The Good Wife, Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods? Unless you think CBS intends to premiere 6 new dramas next fall?
    - Hart of Dixie will be renewed for syndication purposes

  130. More scripted means nothing about cancellation prospects, that's a common misconception.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Why would CSI end?!

    ReplyDelete
  132. Irrelevant arguments...


    1. If people don't download because of virus fears (what a strange argument), then its numbers are not counted for illegal downloads...
    2. ... but these illegal downloads are worth 0 to advertisers to begin with. So even if 10.00000 people would download Beauty and the Beast, it would be worth 0 and would be cancelled if it didn't have the necessary US Liv+SD ratings.

  133. It is a bubble show right now. My feeling is that it will come down to one out of Revolution and Parenthood. One will be cancelled and the other renewed, it's what I feel.

    Wow, I had no idea BATB was doing that badly. Hope they give us a good ending tho.

  135. I thought Dads had a full season order??

    ReplyDelete
  136. It does. Still does not mean it's not likely to be cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Unfortunately those things simply don't matter in terms of whether a show gets renewed or cancelled. Lots of great shows have been cancelled in the past due to poor viewer ratings

    ReplyDelete
  138. You explained just fine.:)

    ReplyDelete
  139. I don't like Dads so I was suprised to see that it has a full season order, but yeah you're right, it doesn't mean that they get a second season.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I know this is based on a specific system of ratings and things, but even though Dads is listed in the danger zone, Fox picked it up for a full 22 episodes this season.

    ReplyDelete
  141. To be fair, all common sense says that show should have been cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Yep, a full order makes no difference.

    This table is for if a show will get a new season or not :)

    ReplyDelete
  143. -Parks and Recreation's ratings are sturggling a bit aren't they? Think NBC will cancel it unless the ratings perk up.

    -Revolution's ratings are depleting. Worrying since it's supposedly better than last season. How NBC would keep it if while the show's getting better, the ratings are getting worse would be a mystery. Parenthood's ratings aren't any better.
    -I don't agree. As I said, Hostages will get cancelled and I think The Mentalist will too. H50 and Blue Bloods air on Fridays and get syndication at the end of the season so they'll stay. Elementary's ratings aren't what they were, but it'll survive. Predicting CSI to be cancelled was my major risk of failure. CBS have had so much success with it over the years that it's likely they'll stick with it.
    -I think it depends on how strong their new shows come off and how good their pilots next year look. If they're better, then Hart of Dixie will go.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Blast! But thank you for the info!

    ReplyDelete
  145. I always love seeing these lists; I am usually very good at predicting what shows will get cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  146. - I realize this is like saying that TDW hit a season low this week (as in completely misleading because of so high it still is) but Parks is still the highest rated NBC comedy and in the toughest slot of them all nonetheless. Remember also that it will change slots midseason to the 8h30 slot where it perked up in the ratings last year, so things could conceivably get better ratings wise for it. If NBC wants a returning comedy, even as a spackle, I don't see how it is not Parks. They could start from scratch again and they probably will have to, but as they show us year after year, a backup comedy is always a good thing, especially when you premiere a whole lot of new ones. It is a true tossup as it stands.



    - You have the wrong sort of thinking when it comes to NBC bubble show. The question you have to ask yourself is this: how can NBC fill those 12 Monday-Thursday hours next fall? The Voice takes 3 hours, The Blacklist+Chicago Fire+SVU another three hours. Assuming 2 hours for comedy (and it is quite possible that they go with 1 only so I am being pessimistic) and assuming 1 midseason show renewal (which is far from a given too, so again, I am being pessimistic, but let's say Chicago PD gets it) that's another three hours. Now, NBC is very unlikely to premiere 3 new dramas on the Monday-Thursday schedule when they will already have to premiere at least 3 new comedies (if they don't premiere 3 new comedies, they have space for one more returning drama, so the argument is even easier). That means that there is one extra slot to fill. While they could in theory use TBL, remember that next year there are no Olympics, so TBL will be needed to bridge the voice hiatus again (there is also the strong chance that it is used to finally solve NBC Spring Sunday problems). I think Parenthood or Revolution get the other slot. It's too soon to tell which and I would need a bigger ratings gap than we currently have to feel confident to give the edge to one or the other. Remember, just because when compared to other networks Revolution's ratings are depleting, it doesn't mean they are in NBC's context. Last week, Monday-Thursday, the only shows to beat it were the voice and the voice lead-outs.



    - I don't get your argument. If CBS has had success with CSI, why would they cancel it? CSI is completely safe, it is not going anywhere this year. When it is no longer fit for a midweek (which it perfectly still is) it will still have a relatively longer life on CBS's graveyeards ,Sunday or Friday. I don't see any scenario this year in which it ends up cancelled. Certainly not before The Mentalist, The Good Wife and Elementary and CBS will not axe all those dramas.


    - No. Hart of Dixie's fate is not contingent on pilot season development. If anything, if the gap between The Tomorrow People and HOD widens and if Star Crossed and The 100 are both big CW hits, then Hart of Dixie would be in trouble. But the combination of factors it would require is very unlikely. It is a very safe bet for a Friday spot next season.

    ReplyDelete
  147. I can see your arguments. With CSI, I have no real reason behind it. Just a small out of the box prediction.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Which shows do you think will get cancelled?

    ReplyDelete
  149. Out of the ones we are talking about? One out of Parenthood/Revolution, The Mentalist and Hostages. I don't exclude the cancellation of Parks or of the other one out of Parenthood/Revolution but I don't see compelling arguments to swing that way at the moment. They are toss ups.

    ReplyDelete
  150. I meant more in general of all shows that you think will get cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Certain to be cancelled (as in <10% chance of being renewed):
    - Trophy Wife (unless moved)
    - Betrayal
    - Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
    - Hostages
    - The Mentalist (I feel less safe about this one then the others, but still)
    - Beauty and the Beast
    - The Carrie Diaries
    - Sean Saves the World

    ReplyDelete
  152. Please tell me, with these numbers BATB is right on the bubble for cancellation? Very worried.

    That unfortunate, i can understand but still hard to fully acknowledge or accept because its my favourite programme. Anything with Romance catches my eye and this programme is ultimately about love unlike other shows which have other concepts i.e Arrow focus' more on the battles than the love interest even though i like the show also

    ReplyDelete
  155. The show is likely to be cancelled, yes.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Can't possibly see Revolution getting the axe. It's a great show with a long story to tell and
    I don;t think they have even gotten to the "meat" of what's going on in that universe. I really would love to see where the story is going to go and cancelling Revolution would be a shame.

    Why are not you including Grimm?

    ReplyDelete
  158. We forgot to the process the Friday ratings for Grimm, they will be added in when we do tomorrow's update.

    ReplyDelete
  159. But I can let you know it currently has a score of around 2.20-2.25 so it's in the green ;)

    ReplyDelete
  160. If the ratings fall any further then it might get cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  161. I agree part of it. Bones will end a mess at 10 seasons like other shows near 10. Too bad cbs will not move it. Fox has a lower barrier.

    ReplyDelete
  162. I thin Mentalist has better than10. Seems like promo before the reveal. Ithink it has a higher renewal chance.

    ReplyDelete
  163. If they bring on good fill ins for cast leaving it will last a couple more though I think Baker will end it at 7 at the most. Not a big tv watcher of other shows I am fine with both. I can see writers announce 7 is last.

    ReplyDelete
  164. You got the wrong color for Back in the Game.

    ReplyDelete
  165. Opps, teach me to post before my 2nd coffee of the morning ;)


    Should be fixed now, thanks.

  166. CBS can move CSI to Sundays next year or Survivor if needs be. A TAR-Survivor on Sundays would likely perform decently.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Is bones in danger???!!

    ReplyDelete
  168. Plese someone answer my question

    ReplyDelete
  169. No, it's not in danger.

    ReplyDelete
  170. This season 'The Good Wife' is on very good level, I hope it continues in the same way and get the renewal.

    ReplyDelete
  171. For me, it's a bubble show. You can look at it as a show that has yet to premiere. I think it's Monday ratings are meaningless now, it will all depend on 1) How it does on Friday (hence me saying that it's like it hasn't premiered yet and 2) How contract negotiations go. My guess would be that it will be back though

    ReplyDelete
  172. I am loving this season a lot but, unfortunately Revolution is indeed a bubble show at this point. It could go either way.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Parks went up suddenly... especially since no episodes aired.

    ReplyDelete
  174. That is quite normal. Remember things are all relative within a Network. If other shows do well, then shows that are below the network average will change their ranking etc.

    ReplyDelete
  175. No... I love Beauty and the Beast... love Cat and Vincent!!! In Brazil, the series is a big success...

    ReplyDelete
  176. hoping Reign and Once upon a time in wonderland dont get cancelled

    ReplyDelete
  177. Not complaining, love Parks, glad its bounced up.

    Dracula is already in 'in danger' section. That's very sad. And The Originals is better than Arrow. Thats weird. I love both shows.

    ReplyDelete
  179. I disagree with Dracula being in danger so soon. It's still at an acceptable range. 70% of relevant average for a Friday show is bubble territory or likely renewal but when you factor in that it is a very cheap co-production it gets even more favorable. Hannibal got renewed on a weekday with considerable lower ratings - also another cheap co-production. I would leave it as high-end bubble show or low end likely renewal show for now.

    ReplyDelete
  180. Unfortunately, Wonderland is a very likely cancellation at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  181. I think it depends less on the ratings and more on two factors: 1) Does Intelligence succeeds and 2) What syndication deal does Blue Bloods gets? Better ratings will help sure, but I don't think they are the most relevant part of the story at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  182. i know it sucks, i love Naveen Andrews as jafar. he my favorite in that show.

    ReplyDelete
  183. They better not take Revolution away... Despite how weird it's gotten this season, I still watch it every week and look forward to it more than most shows.

    ReplyDelete
  184. its weird that revenge and nashville basically get the same ratings but yet nashville is in danger and revenge is looking safe

    ReplyDelete
  185. It's because of syndication.

    ReplyDelete
  186. I really hope The Mentalist can stick around for another season as well as Bones, Law & Order SVU and Castle.
