Oprah Winfrey was a ratings powerhouse with her daytime show for many years but her cable channel, OWN, has had its challenges. OWN has had some very successful comedies and dramas but no show can last forever. Which series will be cancelled or renewed next? Stay tuned!
Scripted OWN TV shows listed: All Rise, Ambitions, Cherish the Day, David Makes Man, Delilah, For Better or Worse, Greenleaf, The Haves and the Have Nots, If Loving You Is Wrong, The Kings of Napa, Love Is ___, Love Thy Neighbor, The Paynes, and Queen Sugar.
Last update: Most recent ratings added for All Rise.
There’s a lot of data that OWN 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 or 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?
1.I am a black woman who owns valuable land that everyone wants. I identify with Queen Sugar and hate to see it go.
2.Too Close to Home was real. It should not have been cancelled.
3.David Makes Man is painful, but good.
4.I still miss Greenleaf.
I’ve only seen green leaf, I think Satan must watch it to learn from all of them.
Just too much lowlife trash like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich(sp) only focused on the black populace/culture. Such a shame as it pulls all black people down to the ground – DOES NOT build them up to BE first rate citizens or humans. Very trashy and to “copy” some of the more trashy “white” sitcoms like “Housewives” of this or that community, etc? WOW. You’re emulating the WRONG role models! So very surprised at Ms. Winfrey’s encouragement of all this…So very, very surprised…
I think it stinks the I can’t watch me shows. I am very upset about the please work something out with Direct T.V. I also need to see the football games.please help.
Renew Greenleaf, please..
Please put love their neighbor For Better or Worse The Haves and Have Nots and the planes back on

I love love love ” If loving you is wrong.” How can I see season 5? It was due to come on March 10th. Not sure what’s going on. I’ve been looking high and low. I watched seasons 1 thur 4 in like 4 days. I was stuck. Love it. Great job!!!
Bring back Ambitions!!! Please!!!
Please . Have a second Ambitions . Loved season one
Please add newer Dr. Phil episodes. The same ones seems to be running over and over. It’s pretty obvious that this show keeps this network going. Good look to OWN!
Wow, Ambitions was GOOD.
I was waiting for the next season of Ambitions so much happened for the finale. I am very sorry that this will be cancelled. Didn’t even give it a chance

Haves and Have Nots -please leave some of the sexual parts to ones imagination. Its great! Great work! Greenleaf is great! The writers started off with a great story and got soft. Please do your research and make the story line one of a kind. “If Loving You is Wrong,” isn’t that great of a story, but the actors know how to act. I hope it continues. “The Paynes,” We need the same characters for it to be successful.
Thanks! Tyler and Oprah
Love the show. I wait all week for the next episode. Keep it going!
