This was a fairly slow month up until the last couple of days. A lot of these renewals and extra episode orders were actually announced yesterday.

This week was a slow one. Outside of Empire, there wasn't much to talk about. Next week should be a little more active with quite a few season finales lined up.

This is here much later than usual but these things cannot be helped.

This was an active week. There's a series premiere, a series finale, three recently renewed shows and of course The Walking Dead to grace the list.

Network heads are not ready to see The Walking Dead return because it will really emphasize how sorry the ratings for their shows look at this point in the season. I'm ready for it to return because it's damn sad when not one show from my pool of cable shows that I use to make this list can attract 3 million viewers per week.
