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?
I can’t believe you cancelled such a great show like perception. Do you not realize that us over 49 people are the demographic that has the money to buy the things in the commercials? Most of the younger people are just getting by without much disposable income to spare. The over 49 crowd are the people who watch tv and can afford to pay for cable or satellite to watch it. You are making a big mistake here just like Fox screwed up when they cancelled Fringe.
I agree. Big mistake T.N.T! This is a great show and your rating system is just wrong. I know a lot more people watch this show than what you are crediting. You brought back Falling skies? That show is so lame, how much knowledge does it take to produce a show like that.? How many people does it give any real information or do anything to improve society’s knowledge? Perception was actual research and helping to educated the public on “mental illness”. It seems that anything that is of “value” to the public is taken away by the government and… Read more »
I love the LIBRARIANS. I have all the movies and I watched the series too and will buy them. But then I like those type of adventure movies. I think its great and good actors of course. Also glad Noah Wyle shows up here and there. He was great at that part in the movies.
Was looking for Dallas the other evening to prepare for the new season and couldn’t find it. Was completely surprised to discover that Dallas was cancelled; this exciting and entertaining show. It was a wonder it lasted as long as it did without marketing, publicity, and a staple timeslot. The networks will not be happy until all shows are reality based and not scripted. These people will relegate me to back to the radio.
Hopefully there will be season two for the The Last Ship.
Coming this summer: season 2, along w/final season of Falling Skies.
Dallas should have never been cancelled. TNT is a horrible network and keeps getting worse. I haven’t watched anything on TNT since they cancelled Dallas.
Murder in the first is renewed at .45 and Perception cancelled at.50?????????????? Whose stupid idea was that?????????????????
That’s funny/hilarious. I’m still laughing !
I certainly hope Transporter the Series will be renewed!! It is a great show with a wonderful cast..Frank is an amazing character (Chris I think). It is shown at a bad time but we love it!! Please give it a chance with another season!!
I am so disappointed that Perception has been cancelled!! One of the best shows I have ever followed! Loved it!! Bad bad decision!!!
I was happily surprised when I saw Perception was still on the air. All of the cast do a great job and Eric McCormick is wonderful in this role. Please keep this one going. The are numerous crime shows on TV and the good ones have a unique spin on an age old subject.
Transporter: The Series was one of the best action series on this year, and the ratings look dismal. Why was it aired Saturday nights? Way to murder a brilliant show. p.s. BOOM is now TNT’s silly logo, not We Know Drama.
i will be furious if cold justice has been cancelled i love it guess are computing more than watching tv or other things tv standard has slipped massively over the years i for 1 am saddened coz i like to watch tv to relax while eating dinner why does the crap get renewed and the good stuff get cancelled to get good ratings tv has to be good u cant have 1 without the other. please keep rizzoli and isles cold justice and major crimes dont care for anything else.
Why has TNT cancelled “Cold Justice”? It is one of the better shows on TV. I am very disappointed.
It was so great to see that Perception was back on again Tuesday night. I do hope that you reconsider cancelling this and please give it another try. I love this show and thank you for putting it back again even if it is only temporary. So many people suffer with mental illness of all sorts and this show gives those people hope that they can be productive in today’s society. There is too much junk on TV like many of the comedy and reality shows so why not cancel them and give the viewers what we would like to… Read more »
To whom it may concern, I actually thought you would leave at least one series that was entertaining, and actually enjoyable to watch. Not since Warehouse 13 has there been a series that I set my DVR to make sure I didn’t miss. But you seem to more intent to but more destructive shows on to help to give the kids more ideas to go toward the dark side of life. The bad part is that they think they can get away with their bad deeds due to “the bad guy wins” undertones to the shows that or on TV.… Read more »
So disappointed that Leverage, Franklin & Bash and Perception were cancelled and Lost Ship was renewed! Really???? BUT Librarians……better get a second and LONGER season!!!
you seem to be the only one.
Librarians was ok, but I think that warehouse 13 was much better.
