Since Showtime is a pay-for-view cable channel, the execs aren’t tied to the ratings like regular commercial channels. However, they still have to run programs that will keep viewers subscribed. Which of their shows will be cancelled or renewed? We’ll have to wait and see.

Showtime execs look at lots of data when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series. The ratings for initial airings don’t play as large a role as they do on commercial stations, but they still indicate how popular a show is. Here’s an updated listing of Showtime’s 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?
All I know is Let the Right One In BETTER GET RENEWED! Holy crap it’s a damn good show.

It’s hard to believe that Shameless was Showtime’s highest rated show before it was canceled even though it had gone so low in the ratings and lost so many viewers. I don’t even watch anything on the premium networks now I don’t think. I’m not sure why I’m even still subscribed except for the fact that charter keeps raising my bill and so I wouldn’t save money for long before charter would hike it back up but with less channels. I guess I need to get rid of cable completely. I wished streaming would have more precision controls like the… Read more »
Please boost your ratings City on A Hill with Kevin bacon so good love it every episode look forward Sunday night. Enjoy it.
The fact that Showtime CANCELLED Penny Dreadful: “City of Angels” is beyond me. It was one of the most fascinating, best acted and produced shows on cable. It was a weekly ritual ! Considering all the garbage you thrust on us,you finally come up with a show that strikes gold and you’re dumb enough to Cancel it. I’m so disgusted I feel like CANCELLING my Showtime Subscription !
a lot of ppl feel the same way as u they dont seem to care about viewers at all always about themselves
