Last season, NBC launched a dozen new scripted TV shows. Some found success in the ratings but they schedule had a few ratings successes but far more were cancelled. Which will be cancelled or renewed during the 2016-17 season? Stay tuned.
NBC shows this season (so far): America’s Got Talent, Blindspot, The Blacklist, The Blacklist: Redemption, The Carmichael Show, Chicago Fire, Chicago Justice, Chicago Med, Chicago PD, Dateline NBC, Emerald City, First Dates, The Good Place, Grimm, Hollywood Game Night, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Little Big Shots, Little Big Shots: Forever Young, Marlon, Midnight, Texas, The New Celebrity Apprentice, The Night Shift, Powerless, Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly, Superstore, This Is Us, Timeless, The Voice, The Wall, and World of Dance.
There’s lots of data that NBC execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but the ratings are typically the biggest piece. Here’s how the network’s shows are doing.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released. The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing), unless marked with an asterisk (*). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
Keep in mind that the demo numbers are typically what’s most important to advertisers. Therefore, that’s how the networks measure success. Advertisers pay more for ad time on a show that has a higher demo rating. Because older viewers don’t count? No, it’s because younger viewers watch less traditional TV and are harder to reach.
Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking. The networks take into account when shows air on Fridays and Saturdays, nights when TV viewership is lower.
What do you think? Which shows are you rooting for? Which one isn’t as big a hit as you thought? Are you hoping any series will get cancelled to make way for something else?
Please keep Midnight Texas on! I just happened to run across this show as I had never heard of it and I binged for 2 days as it is so addictive. It is so different than any show out there. It reminds me of True Love or Westworld, but it is so much better! I am not a sci-fi fan at all, but each actor in this show is awesome!! I think one of the reasons for poor ratings is lack of promotion of the show. I had never heard of it!! I keep checking to see when it is… Read more »
