While Hallmark Channel is still quite new to producing original scripted TV shows, the execs still have to pay attention to ratings. Which TV shows are most likely to be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned.
Scripted Hallmark Channel shows listed: Cedar Cove, Chesapeake Shores, Good Witch and When Calls The Heart.
Last update: Ratings added for the most recent episode of Chesapeake Shores.
There’s lots of data that Hallmark execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it 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?
Please bring back Chesapeake Shores for season 4
Please renew “The Good Witch”. I love it and could watch an episode everyday – I’ve even got my grand kids hooked on the show. Autumn is my favorite time of the year – and Halloween beats it all next to Christmas!! I could be in a bad mood or depressed for some reason and then just knowing that the good witch is on it just seems to lift my spirits – something I just can’t explain. I love the little town feeling where everyone seems to know each other and they are so friendly to each other – brings… Read more »
Cancel when calls the heart since you killed off Jack you ruined it.
I wish Home and family were being cancelled. You kicked Christine off and put Debbie in her place which is sickening and now Mark off and Cameron Mathinson in his place.
I use to watch it for Kyms beauty tricks and the crafts but now I would not look at it if it was the only show on.
Do us a favor and take it off or get rid of hosts. Debbie and Cameron run their mouth so much you cant hear people on show talking.
Shows like Father Dowling mysteries, The Postables, Private Eyes should be brought back. Oh yes with new actors but the same themes. None of the silly junk in today’s show. Am I right?
Would love to see those shows redone.
There are a lot of reasons a person is let go. I also liked Mark but we were not on set.
No reason to give up because thing change did you not see that at your jobs?
Signed Sealed and Delivered is one of my favorites.
I do not like Debbie she is obnoxious. She ruined the show I use to love. I do not watch home and family anymore
The devoted POstables are waiting anxiously to hear that Signed, Sealed, Delivered will be renewed. Each of the stories is rooted in love and kindness and projects an uplifting and heartfelt message. SSD definitely has an element of mystery, without a homicide, by locating the recipient of a lost letter or package which always creates a life-changing event. Signed, Sealed, Delivered is truly the best of Hallmark!
Yes, we all want this show to be renewed, I love it and I love all the Hallmark Mysteries and watch them every night, I am a addict-HA Please bring them all back.
Big mistake getting rid of Mark Stein, haven’t watched Home and Family since! Wasn’t even watching Hallmark till July when they started showing the Christmas movies! Your going to go down hill if you keep pulling these stupid moves 🙁
I don’t watch Home & Family anymore. Getting rid of Mark was a stupid move. Hallmark is more cutthroat than about ‘family.’ And they obviously don’t care what the viewers think.
I completely agree. We don’t know what Hallmark is doing but it is giving a very bad impression. This pattern of suddenly firing employees without notice is reprehensible. It shows dysfunction and disdain within the corporation ranks. Clearly, they aren’t demonstrating commitment to their employees, not to mention VIEWERS. Tragically, it seems that Hallmark is not the sweet, nice, family-oriented channel that they portray themselves to be. It has obviously become a cutthroat business –the opposite of what Hallmark cards (with their movies) and now “home and family” stands for. Another concern has been with the manner in which they… Read more »
Oh wow – #GoodWitch for a season 5 – couldn’t be happier – love Catherine Bell and the rest of the cast. Great show.
I adore the good witch could watch it every night please keep them coming
Please bring back “Cedar Cove” series – it never had a real ending. Plus it has done even better since it has been cancelled.
What is going on in Woody Fraziers mind? You can’t call a show Home and family and pretend that you care about your cast like family when you continually keep firing the best ones.Please stop making viewers think that family is important when it’s obviously a money thing for you.I have watched this show everyday from the beginning and now I don’t watch it because I feel like a lot people..lied to..I have lost count on how many regular cast members just disappear over night.I lost a friend when I lost interest in this show.
I agree, I really liked both Mark and Cristina. I could do without Debbie, should have kept Mark and parted ways with Debbie. I don’t watch the show anymore, I could stomach it with Mark, but can’t with Debbie all the time.
I totally agree and with the amount of negative comments here, Facebook etc they obviously don’t are what we think. It almost appears that there is something fishy going on behind the scenes because no one has ever really liked debbie from what I have seen yet they made it the debbie show.
I enjoy Chesapeake Shores. Please renew in 2018.
