June 2012 Cable Show Scorecard


As promised I have brought back the scorecard from last month but this time and going forward, it will all be condensed in one post.

I've decided that I am going to keep the undecided list long going forward because it's much easier to change a show's status and add to the list over time than to have to go back and keep looking up certain shows wondering if I have mentioned it.

So if you don't want to trouble yourself looking over last month's list (unless you're looking to see what was renewed or canceled) then here's my criteria.

1. I don't add shows that I know I wouldn't regularly see ratings for (that applies to a lot of smaller networks, daytime shows, Saturday shows and most shows (exception goes to a lot of Adult Swim shows) that air after 11pm (I also leave out kid shows because most of their fates aren't predicated on ratings).

2. I consider any show that has been off the air for 8 whole months (example: every show that ended last September) to be canceled because there is basically a 95% chance that the show is completely dead and not coming back. Networks rarely take 8 months to renew shows but you can always read this to know why they don't renew shows quickly (I'm my 3+ years of paying attention to ratings I can recall less than 5 shows that were renewed after a long period of silence).

3. I consider shows that got moved early in their runs to be canceled even if they have just finished airing their seasons (Read this to know why).

4. Shows that aren't airing now but have split seasons are considered to be on hiatus.

5. Renewed can mean anywhere from the show is about to start in 5 weeks to the show will be back next year.

6. I don't typically include or bother to look at currently airing shows unless they were renewed or announced as ending.

7. I wait for official network word that a show is coming back before I consider it to be renewed. Cast interviews and blog photos do not sway me (In this case I'm talking about Bravo's Housewives shows in which as of 6/28/2012 only Miami has been officially renewed even though I fully expect that Atlanta, Beverly Hills, New Jersey and Orange County will return. I will make a note of that when it happens).

8. So you don't forget which list you're looking at just remember these colors [Renewed, Undecided/On Hiatus, Canceled, Ending]
