Last updated: Most recent ratings added for The Lazarus Project.
There’s lots of data that TNT 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 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?
Please renew Rizzoli & Isles and Perception. I’m very pleased that TNT renewed Murder in the First and Major Crimes. I think sometimes viewers don’t get a chance to grow with the shows. Also, there are too many shows that are “copy cats”. I also believe that some shows are too intellectual for the average viewer. That could have been the case with Black Box and maybe TNT’s Perception. A couple of cancelled shows in last years season fall into that category. I agree with one of comments re: “getting bored”. There is a real temptation for shows to copy… Read more »
I agree that Dallas should get back to the original story lines that made it the premier show to watch, and if you are going to bring back some of the original cast, then bring them back. Not just for a few minutes. How often have we seen Cliff Barnes this year? Especially in the split season. If you will remember, Cliff was always trying to get ahead in business, but not by such sinister means, like JR did. Now, you are portraying him as the devil, and it is simply out of character. Priscilla Presley would be a great… Read more »
Dallas is a great show it doesn’t need to revisit the past. I love the mix of old and new. Are you serious? Do you really think Priscilla Presley was a good actress?
Totally agree. The stories they’re telling now prove they don’t need to revisit the past. Honestly on what planet was Priscilla Presley a good actress? She stunk then and is probably even worse now after a 25 year hiatus.
Please pick up LONGMIRE!!!!
The sorting for both total viewers and demo is wrong.
Thanks
Love Sean Bean in Legends. It’s the only show I watch on TNT.
TNT NEEDS to keep DALLAS, it is the fastest hour on TV and Season 3 has been awesome!!!!!
AGREED! Season one was OK. Season 2 got to be it’s best in the second half. Now season three is on fire! If it doesn’t get a season four I think I might cry.
Rizzoli and isles needs another season. It’s my all time favorite show and I think I would go into shock and depression if it gets cancelled. Please renew it.
It would be great if TNT would pick up the newly cancelled A&E show, Longmire. I think it would fit nicely with the great shows I already watch on TNT.
I thought Dallas would do better when they went back to the old time slot. It is such a good show. I enjoy watching just as much, if not more then the original. It would be a shame to loose it.
I sadly believe Dallas is on it’s last legs. Thanks to focus on characters&plot points that most don’t seem to care about this show is a disappointing uninteresting disaster. I was one of the biggest cheerleaders for this show before it aired its first episode. nI had high hopes. Those hopes were dashed in a hurry. What premiered,imo,was ‘Dallas’ in name only. This is more a ‘reimagining’ rather than a continuation of the original. That wouldn’t be so bad if the past on which this show is based hadn’t been needlessly altered&often disregarded(in a pathetically sloppy way to boot). Instead… Read more »
Predict they will renew Rizzoli and Isles, numbers are good, I have to say I’m getting a bit bored with it. They need to dump Perception, Murder in the First, Legends, and Franklin and Bash. They need to come up with some new ideas. Their offerings are getting a bit stale and the only hit from the new shows this summer is The Last Ship. Not something that captured my interest, pretty sick of pandemics and end of world story arcs, but a lot of people seem to like it. Just not sure where they will go with it in… Read more »
TNT is really struggling.
I think Franklin & Bash, Legends, Murder in the First and Dallas will all be cancelled.
F&B has slid too much in the ratings. Legends and Murder in the First had lackluster debuts. Dallas has dropped steeply and its current season is awful, causing people to flee.
TNT needs to invest in quality programs, not garbage. Maybe they will get Longmire!
Dallas will hopefully get a 4th Season. Season 3 is the best yet! TNT should commit for two more seasons of Dallas and really map out a good story.
I really enjoy watching Rizzoli & Isles, Major Crimes, The Tryant (minus the God d**m’s), and The Last Ship (minus the God d**m’s as well). That type of cursing and blaspheming God is very offensive and not necessary TNT!
TNT has great programs. You can cancel The Last Ship and Falling Skies. Renew all the rest. I watch more TNT shows than I do on local TV.
OK, when is TNT going to renew Rizzoli and Isles??????
I’m with you Debbie, want to see MORE Rizzoli & Isles, AND Major Crimes.
