The days of MTV airing music videos all day are long gone. Now, the cable channel is producing some of their own comedy and drama series. Which are your favorites? Which of the current TV series will be cancelled or renewed for another season? Stay tuned!
Scripted MTV shows listed: Awkward, Eye Candy, Faking It, Finding Carter, Happyland, Loosely Exactly Nicole, Mary + Jane, Scream, The Shannara Chronicles, Sweet/Vicious, and Teen Wolf.
Last update: Most recent ratings added for Teen Wolf.
There’s a lot of data that MTV 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?
faking it please renewed… i love it sooooo much
Any news on Faking It… I know the likelihood of renewal is low but still hoping for more episodes.
Can you please include MTV’s reality shows: Catfish, Teen Mom, Real World/Challenge, Are You The One?
If they just played music videos instead of being biased pejorative hacks for a liberal pop agenda spreading lies about white privelage every chance they get people wouldn;t be so disgusted with them.
OMG are they ever going to announce whether or not The Shannara Chronicles is renewed?
The Shannara Chronicles is renewed for season 2
THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES IS LITTERALLY THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD I HAVE 2 T-SHIRTS AND ALMOST HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE SONG ALBUM BUT I AM ONLY HERE FOR 1 REASON AND THAT IS TO TELL U WE NEED SEASON 2
devastated about finding carter!
The show I am referring to in my last post is The Shannara Chronicles. Sorry I was so eager to post I did not mention the shows name, ooops … my opinion, thanks …
I think more people should watch the show at least once, then they will realize how absolutely cool it is … give it a try … my opinion, thanks …
Underemployed and the Inbetweeners were 2 of the better shows that never got past a first season. Very sad.
I agree with Pamela Kidder. When they started those 4th-rate reality garbage shows, I tuned out.
Love faking it show
I watch MTV to see TEEN WOLF. When is goes, so will I.
later
MTV was much better when they had music videos all day. After all, MTV stood for Music TeleVision.
I totally agree. I remember when MTV first started. It was fantastic.
Scream and Teen Wolf are two of our favorite shows, and we are not in the Teen demographic. Maybe MTV oughtta pick up Hannibal.
