Last post of the day and last post of the year for me. Admittedly I have been quite busy this last week so I've had to throw this list together. My main source at Futon Critic hasn't updated their cancellations since October so I've been in a bit of a holding pattern there. As a result there are no cancellations on this list this month and I will probably take the time to sort all of those old shows out next month.

I’ve done this for quite a few years now because I think it is an interesting way to see how these shows stack up to each other. I have to say the only surprise in this is that though it didn’t seem like it, fewer shows aired this year than last year. There are quite a few currently airing shows on this list so I may update this post regularly until the last show ends. Last year’s list is fully updated just in case you wanted to make year-to-year comparisons [Updated 1/18/15].

This may be the last 10 ratings blurbs post for the year but if it isn't I'm pretty sure it will be delayed because once I figure out what isn't taking the next week or two off I still probably won't see numbers until perhaps next Wednesday and that could be a tossup.

There were actually about 4-5 more shows that I could have included on this list which is a shame because in a couple of weeks I know I'm going to struggle with finding 10 shows to put on this list if I bother to do one.

This is a week of assessments. Almost every show on this list is a show where I have taken their individual situations into account as it pertains to their possible futures.

I should give fair warning now that since it's December there are going to be a lot of repeating shows on this list this month and there may be a week towards the end of the month where I take a week off. I think I usually take the week between Christmas and New Year's off but we'll see what happens.

This month was not nearly as active as last month but I do expect December to have a handful of renewals as the networks begin to finalize and promote their January and February premieres.

A few shows wrapped up for the holiday season this past week and quite a few more will be doing the same in the next couple of weeks.

This may look like a week of head-scratching decisions made by the networks but it really isn't when you consider the histories of the shows in question.

I filled this week out with a bunch of broadcast shows. I may need to revisit some of them in a couple of weeks as the fall finales start rolling around.

This is another week of shows with mediocre performances. I see only 2 shows on my list that I would say put up some fairly positive numbers this week.

This was a ridiculously active month with loads of renewal and cancellations and a couple of final season announcements as well. November may slow down a little but the last bit of the fall decisions and most renewals with January returns will likely be decided next month.

This week brought along a ton of shows with pretty disappointing ratings and these shows aren't even the worst I've seen this week.

This is pretty much a cable dominated post this week and there are quite a few shows on here that I've either passed over with the rush of premieres or haven't been posting remarkable performances over the last month.

I'm not really trying to frame this as an official post or anything. It is just a bunch of random notes for the week and it happens to be Friday so why not call it a Five for Friday post like old times.

1. I have no control over Bourgy being down. It doesn't seem like it but I don't own the site or have full administrative control over it nor do I honestly want that. It's not my site and I want to keep it that way. I just post there because I'm a very loyal friend. The person in charge is aware of the issue and I'm just going to have to be patient with that.

2. I am choosing to hold on to the Bad Girls Club: Redemption recap until the site comes back online. If it is not up by Tuesday I will just post those ratings and recaps here until it does come back up and link everything I've posted here (I'm still going to continue to post the 10 ratings blurbs here regardless of what happens).

3. I still want to change/update the site design here. I don't know when or what I'm going for exactly but I want to change it because I can't stand looking at this layout anymore and I'm much more proficient in html and header design than I was when I started this blog.

4. Random I know but I haven't seen I Heart Nick Carter ratings since the first episode. I'm sure the ratings are very low but apparently they are so low behind Couples Therapy that the other sources I check that post lower rated show numbers aren't aware that they aren't reruns. If I had to guess the show probably isn't getting renewed but stranger things have happened this year.

5. I've been wavering on revealing this for some time but I might as well do it here and now. That MINDS of L. Daniels site is actually my site too (In case you're wondering, Lynn Daniels is a pen name). Yes the reason for my skeleton posting schedule is because I'm a full-time author now. I've been working very hard on writing and publishing all of my books on my own and I'm actually about to release a new short story next week so take a visit over there some time. I'll be spending much of the next week on a posting blitz over there as I get prepared to publish my eighth title.

I asked this in the post but I would really like to know where all these people watching The Walking Dead are coming from.

After a premiere week which showed no DOA shows, a few shows are beginning to show the effects of age, scheduling changes and viewer fatigue. Surprisingly it appears that the veterans are looking weaker than the rookies but that still won't be enough to save all of those new shows.

This past week marked the return of the broadcast season and as a result, this list is dominated by broadcast shows. That's a good thing because the cable shows haven't fared too well.

Quite a bit of organization went into this list this month. There were a flurry of renewals but a lot of the cancellations were shows that should have been moved a couple of months ago and weren't updated until this month. Next month I believe should be considerably slower on the cable front since we are now in the beginning of the broadcast season where the focus will be on the success rate of their freshman shows.

Now that I look at this list, this is another list of mostly disappointing and underperforming shows. The Voice isn't one of those shows but it too is down from last season.

Outside of the #1 show on this list, there are a lot of average and under-performing shows here this week.

There were some finales this week but the next several weeks will bring a huge crush of premieres and finales as fall cable shows return and the broadcast networks begin their new seasons.

I'm not enthusiastic about these shows this week. Personally there are a bunch of underachieving shows in this bunch.

I didn't move any of those old July 2013 to the canceled column just yet only because their status hasn't changed on the source in which I draw this list from. If that doesn't change by next month's list I will be moving them because at this point there is no reason to expect any type of miracle. The shows in question all had low ratings while they aired.

It's finally time for me to stop procrastinating. I've had this done for 2 hours and I'm just now getting around to posting it.

This list is loaded with nothing but premieres and finales. Some of these numbers met expectations and others missed the mark a little bit.

This is a pretty muted week with not much news going on. With that being said I'll be the first to admit that this week's post is pretty much a filler post with the majority of shows experiencing depressed ratings.

I can't say there's a theme to this week's list though I did take this opportunity to assess the state of VH1's Thursday night lineup.

I had some things get in the way that kept me from posting this a few days ago but it's here now. July was a fairly standard month on the cable front with an average number of renewals.

This is a pretty varied list this week. There's a decent share of premiere and finale news here, there's some renewal news here and there are a couple of specials on the list as well.

There are a ton of premieres this week and most of them are from VH1. I can't say the numbers are too promising for the majority of those shows.

July is turning out to be a very slow news month. Nothing really notable on the cable show front, the broadcast shows aren't exactly lighting up things and cable networks are putting all their stock on shows that have yet to premiere.

I may be missing the numbers to one show here but I've waited far too long and it is time for this post to go up.

May be a day late but when factors beyond my control come calling I have no choice but to be patient.

I had to bring out an old picture but it's been that kind of month. There aren't too many notable renewals but quite a few of them are from MTV and one highlights a return of a show that MTV had once announced they were ending. Other than that I have to mention that this has to be the first month of me doing these scorecard posts where not one show was canceled this month.

I don't think I'll be feeling True Blood much this season. Random I know but that's how I feel. The same can be said with the ratings for these shows this week.

I waited much longer than I had hoped to wait but now I can finally make this post.

I tried to be mindful of the things I said about quite a few of these shows since I'm not doing a predictions post this month.

I suppose I should use this intro to say that it is highly unlikely that I make a predictions post for the rest of the summer. I am still contemplating doing away with it completely but I do know I won't be able to do it for at least the next 2 months and August tends to be a pretty slow month when it comes to cable premieres. I am still going to redo the site (To get an idea of how much of an overhaul I'm talking about you can look here for a preview. This site won't look exactly like that one but things will be cleaner). Right now that is looking like it will occur sometime in mid-July. Otherwise barring the weekly post here I'll be spending most of my blogging time at Bourgy recapping Bad Girls Club and the final season of True Blood when that premieres later this month.

This month was certainly much quieter than last month since the Broadcast networks took most of the attention but there were a handful of renewals this month. Most of the cancellations however are from shows that ran out their 12 month period and those shows shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone.

It may be a day late but for a week like this it doesn't matter much because of how slow things are becoming.

This week has a heavy focus on the broadcast shows and next week will likely be the same too as there are a ton of finales going on and the networks are beginning to transition into their summer schedules.

Little early today but it works out for me because I'm not done posting at Bourgy yet for the day. Also apologies for not doing a predictions post this month. Again there were a lack of shows and I may have to reconsider some things regarding that post in the future. Either I am going to have to shift the date around or I am going to have to stop doing it completely. I may need a couple of months to consider which option I am going to go with.

I was going to go with Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta being the headline picture but it is very hard to ignore the growth of Game of Thrones.

As I promised yesterday there is a long list of renewals this month. Most of them came from Bravo and Discovery but quite a few other networks came in with some announcements as well.

I really do want to do a makeover for this whole site and while that's still a part of the plan I am not going to be able to do that anytime soon. I'll continue to make my regular posts here and I have a few extra posts planned at Bourgy for next month but otherwise I have a lot of extra things to take care of and it probably will be another month before I can get to working on things over here. Oh well for now there is this post and I'll be posting the scorecard post for April tomorrow. Be sure to check that one out because that post will have more renewals than any scorecard post I have ever made in the 2 years I've been doing them.

At first I thought about waiting until the end of the year to do this but my memory is long enough to know that when I did the post for last year's numbers, it took me 4 hours to format it. Since I'm not lazy enough to spend 5 minutes every week updating and bumping this post I've decided to take that course of action instead. [Update: 4/29/14]

I totally understand why ABC needed to end Scandal early this season. This picture was probably the best one out there that did a halfway decent job of trying to hide this woman's pregnancy.

This is a heavily cable centered list this week. I expect next week to change that a little since there will be some early broadcast finales to highlight.

After a month off this post is back but I won't make any promises about it being better than ever. To be honest it felt a little strange writing this post because only a couple of these shows have been on my radar in terms of ratings.

Little later than usual but sometimes real life calls and I'm not able to control that.
