Cancelled shows of Tomorrow: No Soap Operas Allowed

Tom Hanks drops F-bomb on Good Morning America, PTC throws self righteous hissy fit

Oh lawdy lawdy... not the dreaded F-word.

I like how the whiners seem to be under the impression that Good Morning America is what all kids watch before school in the morning.

Mom: "Alright, Jimmy, do you want me to turn on Nickelodeon while you eat your breakfast?"
Kid: "No no, mother. Give me some of that Diane Sawyer."

Cancellation Watch: Ranking All The New Network Shows By Their Nielsen Ratings

It’s been another lousy start for the networks this fall, as their new shows are not only underperforming across the board, they’re getting whipped by cable competition. In the 18-49 demo, for instance, both Sons of Anarchy and American Horror Story beat all new network shows except for three, while the premiere of The Walking Dead would’ve been the highest rated show in the demo on ALL of network television, new or returning shows. In fact, in the demo, two of the network’s new shows are being beaten by Dexter, which viewers have to pay $12 a month to watch.

That’s how bad it is for the networks. It’s so bad, in fact, that NBC is now the top-rated network in the coveted 18-49 demographic, not because NBC is having an outstanding season, but because the other networks are cratering. Those days when the networks highest rated shows could receive 20 or 25 million viewers are long gone, and now the networks have to recalibrate their expectations. It might be that the networks can’t beat AMC or FX across the board; it may be now that the networks have to consider keeping shows that are competitive. A 1.5 in the demo is no longer considered for immediate cancellation. This might, ultimately, prove beneficial to a show like Community, which can get a 1.7 in the demo, better than most of the new network comedies.

How are the new shows doing? Here’s a rundown, ranked by overall viewers:

1. Vegas (CBS) (11.7 million viewers, 2.0 in the demo)
2. Elementary (CBS) (10.9 million viewers, 2.3 in the demo)
3. Revolution (NBC) (8.6 million viewers, 3.3 in the demo)
4. Last Resort (ABC) (7 million viewers, 1.7 in the demo)
5. Made in Jersey (CBS) (CANCELLED) (6.78 million viewers, 0.8 in the demo)
6. Nashville (ABC) (6.7 million viewers, 2.0 in the demo)
7. Go On (NBC) (6.65 million viewers, 2.6 in the demo)
8. The Neighbors (ABC) (6.5 million viewers, 1.9 in the demo)
9. Partners (CBS) (6.1 million viewers, 2.1 in the demo)
10. Chicago Fire (NBC) (5.8 million viewers, 1.5 in the demo)
11. The New Normal (NBC) (4.86 million viewers, 2.0 in the demo)
12. 666 Park Avenue (NBC) (4.82 million viewers, 1.5 in the demo)
13. Guys with Kids (NBC) (4.19 million viewers, 1.4 in the demo)
14. Animal Practice (NBC) (CANCELLED) (3.85 million viewers, 1.1 in the demo)
15. The Mindy Project (Fox) (3.55 million viewers, 1.9 in the demo)
16. Mob Doctor (Fox) 3.36 million viewers, 0.9 in the demo)
17. Ben & Kate (Fox) (2.7 million viewers, 1.2 in the demo)

As you can see, two shows have already been canceled (Animal Practice and Made In Jersey), while several more aren’t far behind (Ben & Kate, Guys with Kids, 666 Park Avenue and Partners). Strangely, Fox is showing a lot of faith in the underperforming The Mindy Project which — despite only 3.55 million viewers — has been picked up for a full season. ]

The one certifiable hit, and the only new show so far to consistently score above a 3.0 in the demo? Revolution.

 

[Sawyer]

NBC must be thanking their lucky stars for Revolution. After their new offerings last fall, having the top-demo new series this season?

Say it with me now...

NBC must be loving it!

 

[Sawyer]

Partners doing so poorly doesn't make sense to me. The CBS audience eats up garbage like 2 Broke Girls and Two and a Half Men... why not Partners, I wonder?

Honestly, it's not nearly as terrible as the two I mentioned above. Not great comedy, but I like the group.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Haven't watched partners yet, but I may end up doing it.

 

[Sawyer]

It's fairly traditional multicam stuff. Straight laced normal dude with a wacky best friend who causes normal dude more trouble than the friendship is worth. It's formulaic, but at least it doesn't try to force edginess and end up just coming off really lame (2 Broke Girls).

And that sig quote is crossing the line, you bastard.

[HighFivingMF]

Damn, Fox. But at least that means better odds for Raising Hope sticking around.

 

[Sawyer]

Fox is this year's NBC. I just pray they don't **** over The Following. Though, I do appreciate that they're already rolling out promotion for the show.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'm surprised The Mob Doctor is still airing. What is the actual Network top 10 including returning shows?

[wiegeabo]

NBC with an actual scripted show in the top 20

 

[Sawyer]

And it actually tops a few of those shows in demo.

JJ Abrams has another pilot at NBC for next season with Alfonso Cuaron. After how well Revolution has turned out for them, I bet they're going to pounce on that.

Good to see Person of Interest doing so well. How come the numbers for Vegas and Elementary are higher here than in the other post?

The Mentalist has dropped out of the top 20!

 

[wiegeabo]

Mentalist got moved to Sunday nights at 10.

Hopefully it's numbers are still good enough then to keep it going.

 

[ShredderX]

I hope " The Neighbors " pick up more viewers. I really like that show. The alien mom is kinda hot.

Wow check out Person of Interest doing those numbers.

Media still won't talk about since it doesn't have dancing or singing in it I guess.

 

[Docker2.0]

Are you kidding me?!! The Mindy Project got picked up for a full season?!!? WTF is Fox thinking!?!?

Honestly, The Mentalist may have jumped the shark and I love the show. After Jane killed "Red John" but yet it wasn't him, just a guy who knew everything that Red John did, it's starting to get crazy now. They need to find closure on this show because it is starting to spiral a bit.
