canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

ABC 2017-18 Season Ratings (updated 9/24/18)

Published: September 24, 2018

ABC TV shows: ratings (cancel or renew?)

ABC launched eight new scripted series during the regular portion of the 2016-17 season. They cancelled five of them and renewed three. How will the alphabet network TV shows perform during the 2017-18 season? Stay tuned!

ABC shows (so far): $100,000 Pyramid, 20/20, 20/20: In an Instant, Alex Inc., America’s Funniest Home Videos, American Housewife, American Idol, The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, The Bachelor Winter Games, The Bachelorette, Black-ish, Castaways, Celebrity Family Feud, Child Support, The Crossing, Dancing with the Stars, Deception, Designated Survivor, For the People, Fresh Off the Boat, The Goldbergs, The Gong Show, The Good Doctor, The Great American Baking Show, The Great Christmas Light Fight, Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, The Last Defense, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Marvel’s Inhumans, Match Game, The Mayor, The Middle, Modern Family, Once Upon a Time, The Proposal, Quantico, Roseanne, Scandal, Shark Tank, Speechless, Splitting Up Together, Station 19, Take Two, Ten Days in the Valley, To Tell The Truth, The Toy Box and What Would You Do.

There’s lots of data that network execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. These charts will be updated daily, as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them here and here.

A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released. The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing), unless marked with an asterisk (*). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.

Keep in mind that the demo numbers are typically what’s most important to advertisers. Therefore, that’s how the networks measure success. Advertisers pay more for ad time on a show that has a higher demo rating. Because older viewers don’t count? No, it’s because younger viewers watch less traditional TV and are harder to reach.

Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking. The networks take into account when shows air on Fridays and Saturdays, nights when TV viewership is lower.

How are your shows doing in the ratings? Check the current rankings:
A&E | ABC | AMC | Bravo | CBS | CMT | The CW | FOX | Freeform | FX | FXX
Hallmark | HBO | History | MTV | NBC | OWN | Showtime | Starz | Syfy | TBS
TNT | TV Land | USA Network | WGN America

What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?

Grey’s Anatomy needs cancelling it has become boring and poor stories. Losing two fan favourites at end of season will make it worst. Im done with Grey’s.

Kevin Probably Saves the World is a great! It is refreshing and family friendly and should be moved to prime time. Finally, a show that kids and adults can watch which has meaning and a good message. The world needs more of Kevin!!

I take some comfort in having lots of company enjoying my favorite scripted, NCIS, and unscripted, DWTS, shows. Sure they know there will be riots when either get cancelled.

It represents the people who are in the 18-49 demographic who watch the show live or within three hours of its airing. Generally, it’s the preferred audience for advertisers.

Apparently, they think that’s the age group who control spending, but I suspect they underestimate the power we baby boomers still hold.

RENEW Once Upon A Time! Our family loves watching the show together! We love the new adventures and story lines! Every new episode in season 7 just gets us hooked deeper and deeper.

No. OUAT has is passed its prime. It should have ended with season 6. It had a great ending.

I like the new version as well, but it is not catching the attention of nearly anyone on Friday. ABC knew it was a long shot at continuing with essentially a new cast and story and it is failing in the ratings numbers. There is almost no chance it comes back. Season 7 will be the last and that story will never reach its conclusion (it will become the “lost” season in history as Season 6 will be regarded the true end most likely).

Once Upon a Time needs to be cancelled at the end of this season. It is laughable that it is an ABC show and yet half the shows on CW have a better demo rating than OUAT. Also the year to year change of viewership needs to be seriously looked at because a decrease of almost 50% is completely ridiculous and the writers and ABC bosses need to see that a lot of audiences have not agreed in the direction this once great show has taken.

Last man standing at the end of its run was averaging just over 6 million people watching on Friday night. Agents of Shield and Once Upon a Time average just over 2 million people watching each night. Sounds like a sound business decision to me to run a network into the ground. Problem is that Last Man Standing was run by Sony while the replacement shows are ABC produced shows. So rerun money on these two goes to ABC while on LMS it went to Sony. That is what made their decision, not their network ratings.
