Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Red Widow TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
i do like this show which is so amazing and promising. it shows that everyone whoever it is has it own flaws,which is so real and nature.i did enjoy it ,especially for the moment matra would do anything to protect her family and kids, how powerful and wonderful she is.
i think this show is worth ths shot.so please renew another season.
Please don’t cancel this show. If it were on a different day rather than Friday, Saturday or Sunday I think it would make it. How about putting it up against Criminal Minds. Take away some of those mindless shows that are now on.
I REALLY love this show, but I wish it was on a different night. Very interesting
characters and storyline. Please give it a chance. My mom and sister in law love it
also!
I do love this show a lot, but I think the big problem is the time slot. Even though RedWidow is at 10:00, The Goodwife is always running late. This being said I would think they have a lot of the same viewers and The Goodwife has a much stronger following because it has been on longer. ABC needs to give The RedWidow a new night and shot to make it. The the cast of actors are great.
A fine wine takes time to develop the same can be said of a complex mystery…please give Red Widow time . Provide the show support with advertising. How accurate are Nielsen ratings ? Research that question. Perhaps the network is making I’ll informed decisions. The network will suffer if vuiewers think they’re always going to cancel a program..I’m going to stop watching the network if this show gets canceled..I’m not going to invest my precious time into watching this networks programs if they behave with fear and cancel good programming if numbers aren’t perfect.
We liked RED WIDOW. I think there’s more viewers than that? Run a full year and then review again. It’s a mystery drama. We Liked it !!!!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show…it’s interesting and we love it….please give it some time….we are waiting for more…….
This is the best show on right now. Please renew it. I see that there are 8 episodes but only 6 have aired. When will they air? I’m anxiously awaiting more.
I know it i am waiting for more to. It is a great.show. But the.last 2 Sundays its been reruns
Renew this show…really should give it time!
Really like this show! Please renew it – it has such a good cast and interesting storyline! ABC give viewers time to like something and get hooked – this is a great show!
This show has the potential to be a success. Needs time to develop an audience.
I love Red Widow, hope it gets renewed for season 2
I love Red Widow. If ABC can yet again: -screw up a show- whose central characters are played by GREAT actors, in a story with lots of potential intrigue… -and then go and cancel it because they didn’t give it time to develop… …Well, then i”ll just go back to NOT watching ABC altogether… along with my five roommates. We all watched: Revenge and Red Widow, + NBC’s Deception. What always happens? They combine complex stories with intelligent characters, and then muck it up by giving these (otherwise intelligent & believable) characters, various “blonde” moments throughout each episode. There must… Read more »
