Telly’s Take

Wondering if 60 Minutes will be cancelled or renewed for season 51 seems a bit silly. This venerable CBS TV series remains a Sunday night staple. Still, networks use the ratings beyond cancellation and renewal decisions. They also depend on them to help determine when a show could use some retooling.
