10 Ratings Blurbs 3/5/13 Edition


Didn't feel like there was much to choose from this week. I'm guessing it's because a lot of the broadcast shows decided to skip the week plus there weren't many premieres or finales [Full List Here]

The Myths of TV Cancellations



Before I get started, forgive me for using this picture again. It's the only one I have on hand of a show that was recently canceled. Now that's out of the way. I suppose if you're reading this you know that this television season has been particularly brutal (especially on the broadcast side) of shows getting canceled immediately. I personally don't have a vested interest in shows getting renewed or canceled because I don't actually watch them. I suppose that because I only look at ratings it kind of puts me in somewhat of a bubble where I only determine a show's worth on how well it's doing and if it looks like it's going to get canceled then quite frankly I'm sitting here counting down the days until it happens. It's not my intention to use this post to ramble so basically I'm just going to make a list of the biggest qualms I see across the internet about why people lament the cancellation of shows and then offer an answer to that. If that list happens to be long then so be it because unlike most of my posts, I'm writing it as I go along.

Cable Show Scorecard: February 2013


Not exactly an uneventful month but it does feel like maybe it wasn't as active as it could have been (Possibly because the broadcast side was much more active than the cable side). Still the end of the month is upon us so it's time for another Scorecard. No major changes but I'm astounded that I'm about a month from reaching the first crop of shows that still had that new show smell on them when I first did this post all the way back in May. As always, any decisions that are made today will be updated into the post.

I haven't been quite right all week and yet it is Friday already. Another week lost. SMH.

10 Ratings Blurbs 2/20/13 Edition


It's no secret around these parts that I tend write at least part of my posts in advance. That's exactly what I did yesterday when I wrote about why TLC pulled Starter Wives Confidential (See #1). So it was to my surprise that TMZ actually posted a statement from TLC this morning about why they pulled the show and turns out I was right there. Just like I was right here.

Anyway that's my purpose for at least posting the skeleton draft of this list this morning. It's not complete because I'm missing numbers from 3 shows and still haven't decided on a 4th nor have I added a picture. All will be taken care off sometime throughout the course of the day so it will be complete later this evening.
