Ratings Breakdown:
Note: The CBS affiliates in Phoenix and St. Louis carried the NFL match-up between the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams, which could have impacted the Eye net programming averages.
It was a clean overnight household sweep for CBS, which more than doubled No. 2 Fox. Formerly competitive ABC has sprung a temporary leak while dramas “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “How To Get Away With Murder” are on hiatus.
Tops for the night, as always, was “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS, which scored a 10.2 rating/17 share in households in the 8 p.m. half-hour. Next was sophomore “Mom” at a 6.8/11 at 8:30 p.m., which held 67 percent of the “Big Bang” lead-in (versus retention of 61 percent for former time period occupant “The Millers,” also a 6.8/12 — out of an 11.2/19 for “Big Bang” – on the year-ago evening).
Next on the Eye net was soon-to-conclude “Two and a Half Men” at a 5.9/ 9 at 9 p.m., followed by episode seven of “The McCarthys” at a 4.5/ 7 at 9:30 p.m. Comparably, overnight retention for “The McCarthys” out of “Two and a Half Men” was respectable at 76 percent and it led into an above-average 5.1/ 9 for older-skewing drama “Elementary” at 10 p.m. (which was still 14 percent below the 5.9/10 on the year-ago evening).
As a reminder, CBS will conclude 12-year old “Two and a Half Men” with a one-hour episode on Thursday, Feb. 19 from 9-10 p.m. ET. Leading into the finale at 8:30 p.m. will be the series debut of “The Odd Couple” reboot, featuring Matthew Perry as sloppy Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon as neat freak Felix. One week later on Feb. 26, current Thursday 8:30 p.m. time period occupant “Mom” moves to 9:30 p.m. ET out of encore telecasts of “The Big Bang Theory” at 9 p.m.
On Fox, the 200th episode of veteran “Bones” showed its age with a 3.2/ 5 in the overnights at 8 p.m. (#2), which was 11 percent below the 3.6/ 6 one week earlier. And it led into the conclusion of limited drama “Gracepoint” at an uneventful 2.7/ 4 at 9 p.m.
In the battle of the reality/competitions, recent returnee “The Taste” on ABC and inspirational “The Biggest Loser” on NBC tied at a modest 2.6/ 4 four in the 8 p.m. hour. “The Taste,” overall, scored a 2.5/ 4 from 8-10 p.m., which was equal to its low-rated season opener one week earlier. And that 2.5 in the overnights on December 4 translated into just 3.33 million viewers and a 0.9 rating/3 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live Plus Same Day data).
Leading out of “The Taste” was an encore telecast of “How To Get Away With Murder,” featuring Golden Globe Award nominated Viola Davis at a 2.0/ 3 at 10 p.m.. And airing out of aforementioned “The Biggest Loser” on NBC were two more burn-off episodes of 9-10 p.m. comedies “Bad Judge” (#4: 2.3/ 4) and “A To Z” (#4: 1.5/ 2) into a repeat of special “Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas” at a 2.5/ 4 (#2) at 10 p.m.
On The CW, both “The Vampire Diaries” (#5: 1.6/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and sophomore “Reign” (1.1/ 2 at 9 p.m.) increased by one-tenth of a rating point from one week earlier. But “Reign,” in particular, dropped by 21 percent from the 1.4/ 2 on the year-ago evening. With momentum building on The CW thanks to “The Flash” and Golden Globe Award nominated “Jane the Virgin,” there is no need for a third season of “Reign.”

Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.
If you’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
I thought we would have to wait til Tuesday for a JTV Golden Globe mention LOL
ReplyDeleteIf Reign get 0.5 it would be pretty nice week for CW, with Reign and Jane increasing and The 100 steady
ReplyDelete1) ABC is so missing TGIT
ReplyDelete2) Bones looks to be down for its 200th episode
3) Looks like CBS did fine, hopefully MOM has increased
"With momentum building on The CW thanks to “The Flash” and Golden Globe Award nominated “Jane the Virgin,” there is no need for a third season of “Reign.”"
ReplyDeleteI already knew but it makes me so sad.
Marc Berman you will go to hell for bitching about my Reign. Reign will do a 3rd season no matter what!
ReplyDeleteThe HH rating for Bones makes me sad. We can never win even a little against TBBT. :(
ReplyDeleteBones is gonna have a hard time in March (long break, GA returns, TBBT)
ReplyDeleteActually i wish CW could get a few more Hours for broadcasting per week than 10 ... I really wish all 4 - Reign, Jane, 100 and iZombie could come back
ReplyDeleteMarc is a moron, he is creating hate towards my beautiful Jane.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to fight against Reign and The 100 fans, damn you, tv ratings.
I need for Reign to get a Season 3, please.
ReplyDeletePlease ABC, come back soon with TGIT, aging CBS shouldn't be bragging about flogging dead horses.
ReplyDeleteAt least the eye is relieved is going to lose only 2 tenths since Phoenix is #12 market and STL #21.
Bones is going on a long break?
ReplyDeleteyup til March
ReplyDeleteMarc will be talking about that golden globe all season LOL.
ReplyDeleteBones ratings will be ugly by March especially with DST.
ReplyDeleteYep. Reminds me why I thought it was shortsighted to kill off Sweets when JFD indicated he would have come back after Vacation wrapped. He could be back filming now and it would have been nice to have something special to promote in the spring. :(
ReplyDeleteNBC- anyone knows what they are putting at 8?
ReplyDelete9- The Blacklist
10- Allegiance
No idea. No one knows (not even them, I think).
ReplyDeleteIs The Biggest Loser running into January? Otherwise seems strange there is no announcement.
ReplyDeleteDid they mention the break last night? Run a promo or anything? It's not even early March, from what I remember.
ReplyDeleteidk, i don't watch but they return March 26
ReplyDeleteI know, its ashame, they cant do Sundays like WB did, or a 10pm timeslot during the week, but I dont think they have the money for more than 10 sadly and cant.
ReplyDeleteYes, big shame ... i wish they would at least get 10PM slot from Tuesday-Thursday
ReplyDeleteI think it's of the biggest oddities of the season. I highly doubt it will be TBL again, since no spring cycle has been announced and since the fall cycle will end in the end of January anyway, so it would be very odd to have two cycle back to back like that with no break. They should have rushed Heroes Reborn and put it there. Now they have no good options. A new drama will have a very hard time succeeding, comedies is a horrible idea and a bad lead-in for the blacklist and they have no feasible reality franchise to put there other than Ninja Warriror but I would be wary of bringing that from summer to regular season when it's doing so well there. All in all, a new drama is probably the least bad option since at least could probably fuel some audience into the blacklist and has some upside. I hope they don't go with something like game night, that would be one of the worst scheduling moves of the season, if not the worst (though I fear they might do just that).
ReplyDeleteIf my theory is correct, Backstorm will be dead long before and Bones will be back in February.
ReplyDeleteYep, :(
ReplyDeleteI am a bit surprised by how much overlap there is between Bones and TBBT. I would have thought something like GA would affected it more than TBBT, but it's clear that TBBT hurts it a lot more.
ReplyDeletetheyll probably stick some low rated reality show there.
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely nothing against JtV, it's the first pure comedy on theCW in years that doesen't rely on cheap teen plots. And since it caters to a latin american audience it got my upmost respect, there're simply not enough shows that do.
ReplyDeleteHowever Marc is going overboard with his love for that show
I completely forgot about FOX's midseason scheduling plans. Thats how interested I am in that disaster of a network.
ReplyDeleteThat fight is inevitable, even without Marcs commentary. Reign is going up against JtV and the 100 in terms of a renewal.
ReplyDeleteBones fans should hope Backstrom fails right out the gate.
ReplyDeleteI can see that happening, Idol weaker than ever and the Rake precedent, FOX will give it four episodes and plug Bones back in february.
Yeah like Game Night. But that's just all sorts of crazy. The Blacklist would obviously not get as much support there as on Mondays with the voice but to go from a mega hit to a perennial summer show is crazy. They should try to get as much casual audience as possible tuning in from the 8pm show. Throwing a flop there is a horrible idea to construct a night.
ReplyDeleteI know this makes me a terrible person, but a part of me wants it to do badly.
ReplyDeleteI said the same, yes. The fact that there isn't even room on the schedule for Bones to air its entire season order highly suggests that FOX doesn't believe Backstorm will make it harder (never mind the lack of space for Idol itself as well). It's a clear case of writing on the wall.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I knew it would.
ReplyDeleteI love Reign and the 100. If I am forced to choose, I am behind the 100 but I really adore Reign as well (and I was against it last year when it was fighting with TTP for renewal).
ReplyDeleteThis being said, I don't exactly think that the 100 is in the same kind of fight as the other two. I think it's fighting for either a post Arrow slot (in which the CW would never put jane or reign) or for a midseason slot again. The schedule makes me think Reign/Virgin and the 100 aren't interchangeable. Reign and the Virgin however are for sure in a fight with one another. Nothing against the virgin, but I am strongly rooting for Reign.
By the way, there are other holes in their schedule, particularly Mondays at 10. And I think they won't program Tuesdays at 9 in the spring and just double up on the voice as much as possible and air the comedy burn offs on the remaining nights. There is also Sundays of course, from which we only know AD.
ReplyDeleteThe 100 needs a third season. Its so good and I love Bellarke. I used to love Reign but not anymore. If its a toss up between the two, I would I'd rather see The 100 get renewed and have Reign cancelled.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Maybe, but it's hard to picture. Considering that Backstrom is a limited series at the moment (only 13 episodes, all completed) and it's from the creator of Bones, with whom the network presumably has a relationship, I find it hard to imagine them pulling it from the schedule for Bones, which isn't exactly burning up the ratings either. Fox even gave Rake through the end of March, as I recall, before dumping the last two episodes to a Saturday. But you never know. I personally am looking forward to giving Backstrom a go, as it looks like it could be fun.
ReplyDeleteThat cant be good for A to Z. I kind of forgot it's even still on
ReplyDeleteWhen isParenthood ending?
ReplyDeleteI don't think they would actually pull it, but certainly move it to Friday/Saturday. FOX had no obvious replacement for Rake last year. They were eventually forced to bring Hell's Kitchen from the summer to replace it. But this year they actually have an incentive to remove Backstorm from there since they don't have enough time to air Bones and Idol in the season with the current schedule! Of course it can succeed as well; if it does, that it certainly gets to keep the slot. But my point is that FOX's scheduling suggests that not even them believe that chances of that happening are high.
ReplyDeleteIt will, don't worry!
ReplyDeleteEnd of January
ReplyDeleteWow. The top25 markets for TBBT look low at a 4.3.
ReplyDeleteSo, I guess TGIT wasn't hurting it after all.
Also... Bones :(
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a season high for TVD and like a series low for Bones in the top 25 markets. Mom also doesn't look bad considering TBBT looks kind of low for its usual self.
ReplyDeleteThe Top25 numbers look truly horrible.
ReplyDeleteThat top 25 number looks pretty high for TVD. Let's hope we can get 4 CW shows hitting 1 or above this week.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be between 0.9 and 1.0 for TVD. Crossing my fingers that it can do a 1.0. Also hoping Reign keeps the 0.5
ReplyDeleteI hope Reign can get that 0.5
ReplyDeleteThe Vampire Diaries - 0.9/1.0
ReplyDeleteReign - 0.53/0.44
Yea, I want to believe Fox can actually get behind a show I like and give it some time, but ... it's Fox. I'm still depressed over Enlisted getting dumped. And Almost Human. So I should just prepare for Backstrom to either (1) be great and get no ratings and get dropped, or (2) suck and get kept on the air.
ReplyDeleteThose are also my predictions.
ReplyDeleteCan Reign be the BaTB of this season? i will ñlaugh if that happens
ReplyDeleteI like Reign but if I had to choose I will always choose The 100. This season is even better than S1 and every episode is amazing.
ReplyDeleteReign is very uneven. Some episodes are great and others are so boring. I'm loving Narcisse and the Narcisse/Lola storyline this season but I hate how Bash has been sidelined. He barely gets lines now.
Also Jane and Reign are CBS shows while The 100 is co-owned by both CBS/WB.
ReplyDeleteTVD 1.1? WOW!
ReplyDelete#SaveReign
ReplyDeleteReign actually has better numbers than BatB had, and it had 0.5 two times and only one 0.3 ... 0.3 was standard for BatB, it even had 0.2
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised by TVD getting a possible season high. Did something big happen? I'm like three episodes behind but I don't mind getting spoiled.
ReplyDeleteOuch for Bones. Wasn't it the 200th episode?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the it will perform in the Spring and how The Messengers does.
ReplyDeleteSomebody died (I don't know who I don't watch the show).
ReplyDeleteI know. :( And I kinda want to cry.
ReplyDeleteDo you think The Messengers will do better than iZombie? I actually think iZombie will be paired with The Flash and manage to survive.
ReplyDeleteSomeone was supposed to die, but no one did.
ReplyDeleteEnlisted <3
ReplyDeleteThe traveller's boundary magic spell was lifted,kazi kidnapped elena,enzo captures matt,caroline's mom was diagnosed with an inoperable tumor-glioblastoma.
ReplyDeleteiZombie is WB so it's not competing with Reign or The Messengers. Every season CBS usually cancels two of their CW shows and renews two.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your every sentence.Reign is really shaky this year.Ghost sex-seriously?!?
ReplyDeletePlease get 1.0 TVD!!
ReplyDeleteAnytime.
ReplyDeletemy sollution for FOX: cancel your entire lineup and start from scratch to reinvent yourself. Hire some showrunners that are known to deliver solid material and bring back some shows that are a guaranteed hit and carry hit shows that are produced by FOX but air on sister networks like FX and FXX over to FOX
ReplyDeleteMonday-
20: Faith (Buffy spin-off that takes place after the apocalypse from Angel)
21: American Horror Story (carried over from FX)
Tuesday-
20: X-Men (starring Halle Berry, James Marsden, Famke Jansen and Patrick Stewart)
21: Ultimate Spider-Man (another Spidey universe with a new Peter)
Wednesday:
20: 24 (simple continuation with Sutherland, Rajskub and Bernard)
21: Prison Break (semi-reboot with a new lead but old supporting characters)
Thursday:
20:00 Malcolm in the Middle (sequel with a now adult Malcolm)
20:30 How I Met Your Dad (produced by FOX studios afterall)
21 00 It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (moved from FXX)
21:30 M.A.S.HReloaded (reboot of Mash)
Friday:
20: Bones
21: Burn Notice (retooled as a crime procedural)
Saturday:
-reality lineup-
Sunday:
20:00 The Simpsons
20:30 Futurama
21:00 Family Guy
21:30 American Dad
if only...but a man can dream
What do u think JtV's chances are of renewal?
ReplyDeleteSeems unbelievable that VD got 1.1 in the Top25. Hoping it won't go under 0.9 in the overall.
ReplyDeleteThis season has improved so much.
I am with you - I really love Reign (I think more than you from your comment) but I will always choose The 100, that's really a favorite show of mine. This being said, I don't really think they are competing with one another. Reign is fighting the virgin and The 100 is fighting The Messengers/the CW's development of male skewing shows.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I don't find Reign uneven and I tend to have liked most of the episodes this year. However, I agree entirely with your point about Bash. He was my favorite character last year and I hate that they've sidelined him so much, I don't get it. He went from a main character to being a very supporting character, it's absurd. Also, and not that I want the triangle to come back, but it bugs me a lot that they act like he and Mary never had any connection and barely know each other. I miss their friendship. Conde (a character I do like by the way) is basically fulfilling his role with Mary, which is odd.
Ya,when i was opening the thread,i was expecting like 0.9 at best!
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt it gets below a 0.9 with this top 25 market. It's possible but I would be surprised if the final isn't a 0.9-1.0
ReplyDelete100 is a WB production, CBS only takes a small share out of that (as it does with every other WB show except Flash/Arrow wich is DC/Berlanti Prod.)
ReplyDeleteThere're two new CBS shows yet to come though.
But if I had to bet I'd say JtV will get the renewal. Simply because unlike Reign it`s not heavily serialized and is a better fit for syndication (Reign is simply a show you can't really put into syndication, there's a reason SPN/Angel did so well on TNT: because of the issue-of-the-week format telling a new story each episode and being easy to get into whereas Reign, and TVD/TO for that matter, tells a story over the entire season)
ADJUSTED TVD UP PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteOMG, HAPPY FOR TVD! Congrats, Writers this doing a great job.
ReplyDeleteTVD seems to have recovered a little bit!Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great episode, deserved this classification, FINGERS CROSSED!
ReplyDeleteReign&Jane are also CBzs/CW but distributed by CBS while The 100 is distributed by WB
ReplyDeleteWth and what happened?? What did the writers said? Didn't the fans get mad?
ReplyDeleteI've always been against Reign, tried to give it a chance but the complete inaccuracy and kind of modern shooting style turned me off completely. Having done a lot of reading on Mary I'd even argue that this show is kind of sugarcoating the misdeeds of someone that was cruel, even for the times she lived in.
ReplyDeleteBut I shouldn't be surprised, if theCW did a show about Hitler and starred Ian Somerhalder fangirls would still support that -,-
On a creative standpoint I simply didn't like the first three episodes and the few I watched out of context.
However it has a fanbase wich is deserving of more. A final six-episode season would be fair IMO
Messengers/BatB are also two upcoming CBS shows making the competition even hotter.
ReplyDeleteI can already see the fandoms be at each others throats
Maybe.They are both international co -productions and since HoD,BatB are most Likley ending.It just depends on how the Midseason shows do and if Janes critical acclaim is enough to save it even if it's ratings fall and how many new pilots CW picks up and Reigns spring ratings.
ReplyDeletePaul Wesley said there's a big death coming up. He may not have meant in this episode
ReplyDeleteYep. Looks rough in the Top 25.
ReplyDeleteYaaaaaasssss
ReplyDeleteI don't think is a show for everyone and I can understand where you're coming from. For me though, the critic you are making doesn't really bother me at all. I look at the show as if it wasn't based on reality at all (it probably helps that I honestly don't know much, if anything, about the reality in which it is based).
ReplyDeleteyay, the hashtags are back!
ReplyDelete#SaveMySanity
Tables are being updated live. Refresh for updates.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOU!
ReplyDeleteGO TVD!!!!
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteU know but these Top25 can be quite misleading. -.-
ReplyDeleteCBS most likely inflated
ReplyDeleteCOMPLETELY, hope that Mom won't be too much adjusted down :(
ReplyDeleteThat's probably the best way to look at it, I just can't.
ReplyDeleteI'll wait for a complete series box set to be released to watch the entire show though, it's a CW show, so I have to at least watch it completely at some point
Even after 1.1 in top 25,it ends up with 0.8!Urgh!!!
ReplyDeleteit's actually coming to DVD
ReplyDeletehttp://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Enlisted-Season-1/20565
CBS once again looks inflated. Poor shows!
ReplyDeleteWell it appears they were in this case. But I still think it could adjust up in finals to a 0.9
ReplyDeleteReign got 0.5 Yesss
ReplyDeleteHalf hours anyone?
Disappointed with TVD :/
ReplyDelete2.8 for mom please no adjust down!!!
ReplyDeleteMom did good, and I know it will adjust. After last week, I am sure that Mom will do fine in February with a TBBT repeat as a lead-in.
ReplyDeleteBones :( Hopefully it adjusts up.
ReplyDeleteWe should 100% ignore those CBS ratings, they are useless. Elsewhere:
ReplyDelete- ABC needs to find a new solution for the TGIT hiatus. The Taste is clearly not a feasible one. This could cost them the season due to how close the race is between ABC, CBS and NBC.
- The CW had an okay-ish night. Judging by the top 25 market, there is a good chance that TVD adjusts up. Hopefully Reign doesn't adjust down either.
- Bones looks bad. I think it's looking really iffy especially now with Emily pregnant again. They might just call it quits.
- Bad Judge actually looks solid in the middle of NBC's ugliness. I wonder if NBC should have tried it on Tuesdays.
Yay Reign rose.Please don't adjust down.
ReplyDeleteOn CBS TBBT might adjust up, the other will lose around 4 tenths.
ReplyDeleteThe Taste is awful, put repeats there ABC, CW did ok, awgul ratings across the board for FOX especially Bones and Bad Judge looks better than usual.
I now 100% ignore the early CBS Thursday ratings, they really are worthless.
ReplyDelete0.6/0.5 for Reign
ReplyDeleteWas CW pre-empted somewhere?
ReplyDelete0.6? WOW
ReplyDeleteRepeats would do even worse than the taste (look at murder). I agree that they need a new solution for this bridge but repeats aren't the answer either. The Taste is still marginally better .
ReplyDeleteWow hopefully it doesn't adjust down then! TVD?
ReplyDeleteplease, do you have full number for Reign from last week?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of renewing the taste- they should just put specials
ReplyDeleteYes, it as a 0.44 ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteSo it was not that far from 0.5 :)
Great numbers for CBS but they had absolutely no competition!
ReplyDeleteIt will most likely be adjusted down three-tenths
ReplyDeleteThey are inflated
ReplyDeleteand also, they were pre-empted
ReplyDeleteYeah it wasn't! For renewal purposes, there really isn't any difference between a 0.44 and say a 0.47.
ReplyDeletePlease, Reign hold on!
ReplyDeleteHave you not seen Hart of Dixie?
ReplyDeleteThey need to do specials

Hopefully TVD adjusts up and Reign holds.
ReplyDeleteHalf-hours have nothing to do with adjustments.
ReplyDeleteOuch Bones will have a hard time in march
ReplyDeleteI hope so! I like Jane the virgin but GG nominations were a shame for Reign.
ReplyDeleteHTGAWM repeats horribly.
ReplyDeleteIt repeats pretty much on the same level as other serialized shows.
ReplyDeleteHenry/Cat bed scene was ridiculous but the episode was good.
ReplyDeleteI really was hoping that being in it's first season, the repeats would be a good way of getting more viewers when it returns.
ReplyDeleteIsn't doing the same as other serialized shows?
ReplyDeleteBig Bang has done wonders for Mom
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the most common beliefs but I actually they help in predicting the adjustments. If a show has a 0.6-0.5, it's probably around the 0.55 area, so it's more likely that a small deviation is enough to make it adjust. On the other hand, if a show is 0.5-0.5, it's probably around the 0.5 area, so it will take a higher deviation to make it adjust.
ReplyDeleteObviously it's not rocket science (and when there are big preemptions it's useless) but I still find the half hours useful to predict the adjustments.
OUAT had pretty much the same repeats ratings on its first season and it shot up from a 2.8 on December to a 3.7 on January, so we can't really write out a show based on its repeats (though it'd be nice if they repeated better)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't ABC find better filler ? I mean Christmas specials, or celeb wife swap
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with ABC repeating it despite the ratings it gets, they aren't taking it off the air.
ReplyDeleteBut summer is the right time to do it, ABC needs to avoid another limited order show getting a sophomore slump like Under the Dome, The Following and the most comparable with Murder, Resurrection and especially Sleepy Hollow (both weren't repeated in the summer and Sleepy Hollow ended around Murder is going to end this year, in february).
I don't even bother with serialized show repeats, the only thing against it is that is unlikely to see them a for a lot of time in syndication, unless the broadcaster commits with marathons, since you can't just sit and watch the episode without knowing the show.
ReplyDeleteHoping for both CW shows to adjust up and think VD will while its wishfll thinking for Reign.
ReplyDeleteCBS is inflated again
ReplyDeleteCancellation Bear @TheCancelBear 48s49 seconds ago
CBS had local NFL in Phoenix & St. Louis, their Thu prelim ratings are inflated and will be adjusted downward
I'll be expecting the announcement any day.
ReplyDeleteYep, it goes without saying that CBS Thursdays are inflated.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be cool if Reign adjusted up...
ReplyDeleteDo you think that's possible?
It's possible, just not probable.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping!!!
ReplyDeleteWell everything is possible but there's not a lot of precedent there. It will probably just hold.
ReplyDeleteThers a chance that more than one of Jane,Reign,The 100 get if both Midseason shows flop(which is Likley)& it seems BatB & HoD are ending ,though no official word from CW on that and CW still picks up 4 new shows.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you thnk the odds are of Jane ,Reign,The 100 getting renewed are now, with The 100 uptick in ratings,Janes awards noms& wins and Reign going up to 0.5 a few times?Chsnces all three get renewed?How bout individually?
ReplyDeleteI think they have increased a lot with the GG nomination. If Gina or the show wins Jane will be renewed. Even if the ratings aren't stellar the show is cheap and it's the first CW show to be nominated for anything important.
ReplyDeletelol, don't forget the emmy nomination for best hairdressing on the Originals :P
ReplyDeletethat's actually not correct, every company takes a share out of ever product.
ReplyDeleteMessengers, BatB, Reign, JtV all are CBS (mainly) wich WB takes a small share from
You know that I'm usually rather negative on the chances but I'm inclined to agree that Reign/JtV just got a bit safer.
ReplyDeleteReign through the 0.1 increase and JtV through the emmy nod
adjusting up or down really doesen't matter too much.
ReplyDeleteEverything is better than Reigns 0.3 from a few weeks ago
I doubt it. I see iZombie having quite the pull with Mr Thomas at the helm and The Messengers doesn't look like the Star-crossed bomb from last year.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think so too.
ReplyDeleteAnd The 100 got an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Special Visual Effects :) but I get the difference between technical nominations and acting, drama/sitcom ones.
ReplyDeleteaverage results bones but TBBT new close holidays so
ReplyDeleteI thinks we get bones 11 -final season mayby short but we get next season
I've seen the Messengers pilot and there's no way it gets an audience on The CW. Look for it to be the next Cult.
