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, Ride, The Way Home, When Calls The Heart, and When Hope Calls.
Last update: Ratings added for the most recent episode of When Calls The Heart.
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?
I love your mystery movies. Garage, flower shop, aurora Teagarden, Kelli Martin and Courtney Thorn Smith are my favorites. Not a fan of Jewels gourmet detective and it breaks my heart The Joanne Fluke baking series. I loved those books bit the casting in the movies is weak. Please keep all my favorite lady mysteries especially Brooke. Thank you.
Please don’t cancel the Flower Shop Mysteries with Brooke Shields! She is so fun and not ‘sickeningly sweet’, as are some of your other shows, although I enjoy them too (Candace Cameron Bure, Laurie Loughlin, etc). Please continue bringing Brooke on your channel!
Will Flower Shop Mysteries with Brooke Shields be back? I sure hope so.
I enjoy the Hallmark channel and the programming available to viewers. I really like the scripted series, Good Witch as well as the cute movies where the actresses solve mysteries. Christmas in July is also an added bonus, love all the movies offered on Hallmark.
I just love ” the last man standing”, I laugh out loud! I am so glad you carry the program. Thank you so much!
I love “The Good Witch”! It’s such a great show. I’m a NetFlix user, so I first discovered the show on there. Since then, I’ve watched all of the movies as well. I really hope this show gets renewed. I think it’s hard to see accurate numbers since most people like binge watching shows nowadays. The show could be down in numbers because people are waiting until it finishes. Had I been more patient, I would have done the same.
Please, please don’t cancel the Good Witch is one of my favorite shows always looking forward to the next season. Now my daughter started watching it too. If it get cancelled I will be very disappointed.
I feel the same I hope they don’t but the ratings have to get better for it first
I love the the good witch ! I love when calls the the heart! I love Chesapeake shores last season. The good witch and when calls the heart are my favorite shows that I watch I would be very disappointed to see them go they are both very different types of shows I love the mystery of the good witch and I love programs like when calls the heart,those types of shows from that type of pioneer type era , I love book series the show is based on also. My favorite shows as I was growing up were little… Read more »
Wanted to know status of Brooke Shields Flower Shop Mysteries.
When is Brooke coming back??????????
Please bring your show back to the good movies. Youve ruined it by putting Monk on there. WHAT IS THAT????!!!!!! That’s not a happy show. It’s a horrible show. I would have turned to a luster rating tv station to watch that. Not my Hallmark station. Now your as bad as the other station. My last few weeks watching your show has been torment. Why change something that was working. Really sad. Losing another viewer.
Don’t those of us over 49 count? It is so hard to find wholesome family shows. I enjoy all of the shows and hate to even think of the Good Witch being cancelled. Cedar Cove was a good show also. Come on–check out and see that the ratings don’t reflect how large an audience Hallmark has when you don’t count those of us 50 and older.
Hi Jerre! Hallmark is a big fan of their over-50 audience — in fact, their explicit target demo is women over 50. This shows both obviously in their shows and more subtly, such as having more religious programming than expected in an ostensibly secular channel — women over 50 are the most religious demographic in the United States. Hallmark will renew any show that gets a strong W50+ audience, because it’s exactly what they and their advertisers want. However, Hallmark ratings are still reported as share of adults 18-49, because that’s what the networks (excepting CW, which is women 12-34)… Read more »
Please bring back Cedar Cove. I loved this show. It is hard to find a good wholesome show anymore. It is one of the best shows I have watched in a long time.
Please renew The Good Witch! My family and many of our extended family
watch it faithfully and look forward to the next week. There are so few
Good shows that impart a wholesome, classy, feel-good story line. ….
We can’t imagine why you would not renew this show!
After Hallmark fired Cristina Ferrare from Home & Family for being too old, I no longer trust or have faith in Hallmark. I’ve moved on to other networks that have better integrity.
I have always watched The Good Witch series but after watching When Calls the Heart I have been bored by The Good Witch. Granted I am a fierce Heartie fan but I have found myself turning channels since the end of April.
I also stopped watching Home and Family when Cristina was fired.
