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?
love that you put out the titles for season 3 the strain, but is their only 13 episodes for season 3.???
it sucks that the STRAIN is only getting 10 episodes, for season 3. FX is no better than syfy.!! screw the fans every time.!!
Please renew THE AMERICANS!! It’s a weekly must-see for both me and my husband. The script is usually compelling, each character is perfectly cast (bring back Claudia!), and I love the interaction between Phillip and Elizabeth. In fact, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys just had a new baby! (Thus, the coat she’s been wearing in recent episodes.)
The Americans did get renewed. Keri & Matthew’s baby boy just turned 1 in late June, I believe. They must do something in the next season, to get the ratings back up in par with the real quality of show. This past season’s storyline tried to follow our current politics and mix it with the historical past, but it just was too boring. I think the daughter needs to be all in or all out, enough of her wishy washy-ness and get rid of her pastor already! At this point, I think it’s time that our two good friends and… Read more »
Please renew archer!!!!
I have been checking to see if archer is going to be renewed every day……AND they left the show on a cliffhanger like always. Great! RENEW ARCHER!!!!!
DON’T CANCEL ARCHER!!!!!!!
Renew Archer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Renew Archer!!!!!!!
IS IT JUST ME, BUT EVERY TIME I TURN TO FX ITS JUST THE SIMPSONS ON; IS FX EXCLUSIVELY SHOWING THE SIMPSONS 24:7? HILE I LIKE THE SIMPSONS THE CONTINUED SHOWING DAY AND NIGHT WOULD NOT ATTRACT MY VIEWERSHIP TO A CHANNEL.
The Americans is the best drama on TV bar none, but I’ve been wondering if this is the last season because a couple of the characters are no longer with us. Even though the critics have raved about this show from day one, it’s remained pretty much undiscovered. That’s too bad because the scripts, the acting, the sets, everything, is superb.
The Americans keeps getting better. The May episodes have been remarkably suspenseful television. Kudos to the Fx execs for appreciating a quality endeavor. Masterful.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed in FOX television for canceling one of the few series that my husband and I enjoyed watching together. I will be protesting Fox television and not watching unless or until Second Chance returns!!!
I never thought I would get to this point, but I am getting tired of The Americans. The episodes are becoming contrived and repetitious-same old, same old just different characters. The explicit sex scenes are way over the top and unnecessary. Why would Pastor Tim become friends with them when he knows they are KGB? Seems illogical since he could be breaking the law. I can’t see this going much longer!
The bastar d executioner should not have been cancelled. These numbers really warranted another season. The cast was outstanding. So many disappointed fans waiting for more!
I don’t know why that shows like The Bastar d Executioner get cancelled and other totally retarded shows stay. AlsoThe Bridge was canceled. And the best show ever Wicked City was canceled WHY was it cancelled? Was it be cause it is reality based. That show is all based on every day events.
I think that Bones should move to Monday nights.
