Last update: The most recent ratings added for What We Do In The Shadows.
There’s a lot of data that FX execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are a major factor. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
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 (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. 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.
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?
Excellent show….I still can’t believe it was canceled. Definitely not deserving of cancellation!
The Bastar d Executioner has higher ratings than other shows on FX that are being renewed, so it can’t be the ratings. Now we know all the characters and getting into the story, why would you cancel it?
The Bastar d Excutioner has been one of the Best television shows of this past season. Please bring it back.
I’m very dissappointed that The Bastar d Executioner was cancelled. I thought it was a well balanced, cerebral show. I was glued to FX on Tuesday nights.
The characters had depth and feeling while the storyline kept you on the edge of your seat. I believe if the promos were better it would have gotten a bigger audience. The story could have been expanded upon easily, and wasn’t strictly violent as the name implies. I hope to see these actors again in more U.S. projects.
The Tyrant and the Bastar d executioner are a nice change from the same old typical drama series. They provide cultural subsistence, excitement and thrilling, and good acting You cant wait for the next week show to come back on. I hope more people are paying attention and watching these two impressive shows. Looking forward to season 3 of the Tyrant and hopefully a season 2 for the Bastar d Executioner. The season finale tonight for the Bastar d Executioner was awesome.
Agree about TBE! I’m very dissappointed.
i like the B.E you should renew that show im so tired of shows with no history of why stuff had happened ppl might not like it but in do time they will see what a good show it is
I agree, I wish they would reconsider. I was hooked the first minute of the show.
i cant wait for the strains 3rd season to start. still waiting for season 2 dvds to come out. it is on a perfect hour 9 pm after TWD. im big fan of twd bigger fan of the strain.
BE;s ratings are awful.
the strain is a great show its defers from other vampire movies in that to me is more realistic in what a vampire should look like. they are monsters after all. it would be great to see this show for at least 5 years. please
I have been an avid American Horror Story fan since season 1. I loved each season for its wonderful imagination of writing, direction and tales of freakish characters..But I was hugely disappointed with the Hotel premiereon Oct. 7. Each season of AHS has opened with an interesting storyline, full of delicious doses of sometimes lovable freaks. But Hotel was lacking an interesting beginning..it was full of sex and gore..I found no interesting acting,actors or storyline…just a lot of blood and gore….I won’t be watching this season of AHS..I’m so sad and disappointed.
I totally agree with you peggy about American horror story……and have used the same words to describe my feelings……i’m sad too
I totally agree with you .. With all of the sex, violence, gore, and beautiful people, there’s absolutely nothing of substance beneath it … I was so bored, and irritated at it’s incoherent storyline, and terrible dialogue that i gave up on it after the fourth episode…
I kind of think this is my third favorite of the series. I haven’t seen Episode 1 of 1984. It has a very different cast. I particularly loved seeing Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Jessica Lange and Denis O’Hare. I forgot Lily Rabe and Evan Peters. 1984 has none of these actors. To me the big stinker was Roanoke.
How does FX stay in business? Every show is losing audience, and that from a low base. Wow.
IS THERE GOING TO BE A MARRIED SEASON 3 ??? more people need to know about this show. It’s utterly hilarious and I love every second
Couldn’t agree more. Sad to see the show cancelled, we found it by accident and don’t think the network advertised it enough. Absolutely hilarious show!!
Please Please Renew Tyrant. It has depth that is missing from TV today. How many shows do we need that save the earth, kill the vampires or unrealistically catch killers, rapist, robbers..etc. and I’m sick of that Never Changing laugh track on comedys. Please don’t cancel the only show worth watching.
Tyrant is the only show I watched on a regular basis. It was amazingly good and exciting. Please please renew for season 3
Only show on TV worth my time.
Tyrant is an outstanding program with superb actors. Please renew for seadon 3.
Tyrant was by far one of the best shows this season. Please renew. I am tired of cops and robbers and silly comedies.
Sharyn, I so agree. Cops and robbers need a rest. Maybe a rest home. Tyrant is very good. The actors are great. The settings are beautiful. The story is ,,,,,,,scary. But definatlymy holds my. interests. Please don’t cancel. P.S. I do like silly comedys, they are how I escape real life..
