Back in its early days, TV Land focused on airing classic TV shows. Then, they started their own scripted comedies starring classic television stars. Now, they’ve started focusing on producing “edgier” comedies. Is this a good move? Which shows will be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned to follow the ratings.
Scripted TV Land shows listed: The Exes, Happily Divorced, Hot in Cleveland, Impastor, Jennifer Falls, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Lopez, Nobodies, One Day at a Time, Retired at 35, The Soul Man, Teachers, and Younger.
Last updated: Most recent ratings added for Younger.
There’s a lot of data that TV Land 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 chart, please try reloading the page or view it 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?
What has happened to TV Land programming…new moronic attempts at comedy even a moron wouldn’t watch or soft porn geared to arouse the junior high crowd. Who is running this mess? Watch out Moms and Dads.
I love everybody loves raymond.so,where is it? No notification nothing! I look forward to these shows.andy Griffith,king of Queens, everybody loves Raymond is my favorite! Very upset over this.
Everybody loves Raymond is my fave also. You don’t GET it? I do. I’m upset that tv land is cutting short, EBLR, to put a stupid show on like Mom…gotta be the dumbest show ever. I watch EBLR, change channel when mom comes on for an hour, then change it back when EBLR comes back on. The schedule worked so why fix something if it ain’t broke??? When they take EBLR and king of queens off, that’s when I stop watching tv land. The only thing I don’t like is….these 2 shows made so many episodes, so why keep showing… Read more »
You don’t get it. Mom is still in production, Raymond isn’t. A episode of Mom is worth more than a episode of Raymond, and plus Warner Bros owns both.
I am in agreement with what most of these other people have stated. TV Land (Classics) was created for older shows. I have not even been tempted to watch any of the new shows TV Land has put on, as most of them look like garbage shows. I just change the channel now when commercials for the new shows come on. I would replace all the new “trash” shows with the old classics, some of which have not been on TV for years. Shows like Gomer Pyle, Green Acres, Dick Van Dyke, Lost in Space, Twilight Zone, Big Valley, etc.… Read more »
Then don’t watch. Go buy the DVD’s.
I used to love TV Land. It has shows my husband & I grew up with (or even watched as reruns when I was a kid & I’m in my 30s) and they were shows we could watch with our kids. Now, not only do these “new edgy” shows not appeal to us at all (and apparently not many others by these ratings & other folks comments) but if we’re watching a decent show (Everybody Loves Raymond, MASH) I have to mute commercial breaks because of the awful things said in some promos for these “edgy” shows that I certainly… Read more »
That was a sizeable rant and maybe TV Land doesn’t care and would rather trade their integrity for sustained low ratings, but you speak for many viewers like you. One Teachers commercial has a kid just shouting the Lord’s name in vain and it was supposed to be funny or the punch line to the set-up. How is that funny? Turns people off that they can’t even watch a COMMERCIAL with the family and the vulgarity doesn’t even provide a comedic reason to entice people to tune in.
I us to love TVLand. You have taken the best shows off and replaced it with nothing shows. GUNSMOKE,BONANZA,ANDY GRIFFIN just a few. Go back to great movies not those so Cale comedy shows.
TVLand, you’re commercial breaks are too long! Way too long! On top of that, the commercials are repetitive with ads for your own shows. I refuse to watch any of your new shows, because I get so sick of seeing the ads for them. Stick with the older GOOD shows and stop with all the commercials.
notice that sometimes for their good shows, you know, the ones they don’t make. like Everybody Loves Raymond, are 35 to 40 minutes long to give you extra commercials. I won’t watch those time slots.
You are aware no one from the Network reads these comments, right?
Please don’t remove Everybody Loves Raymond or King of Queens from the 10:00 a 1:00 time slot. I spend my last hour or two of the day with one or both of these shows and so do a number of my friends. No kidding. There are very few shows today like the ones from 15 and 20 years ago. These two are priceless as are Rosanne (early seasons) and Bill Cosby was. PLEASE don’t change your lineup for 10:00 – 1:00. Hopefully this new edgy late night show will only be on one night but if more than one, put… Read more »
The commercial for teachers, the one about getting HPV from fingers is awful. You people should be ashamed. The impaster show is awful. Please take both off the air. Put on more clean older shows.
I so agree with you,if I had to watch these shows I wouldnt even have tv
I liked it better when the were running Leave it to Beaver and the Andy Griffith show reruns. Now I never watch it. And judging by the ratings, almost no one else does either.
Trying to find out what happened to tv land on comcast
TV LAND PLEASE BRING BACK PETTICOAT JUNCTION, I DREAM OF JEANNIE, BEWITCHED, GIMME A BREAK….YOUR ONE THE BEST CHANNELS I KNOW. I LOVE WATCHING… JUST MISS THE GOOD OLE DAYS SHOWS. WHEN SHOWS HAD REAL LAUGHTER
I hate the impastor, younger, lopez, Jim gaffigan, and new adventures of old christine!! Why do these tv shows continually keep making stupid people famous??? Get rid of these dumb shows and stop taking off the good ones!! And the commercials! Every time there’s a commercial, it’s about younger or impastor….ENOUGH ALREADY!!! TV LAND is a family channel, so why all the sex and violence? You are promoting the wrong ideas to viewers!! Please stop already!!!!!
I’ll never understand how a funny and clever show like Impastor doesn’t have a bigger audience. Is it the marketing? I don’t think I saw one billboard or one TV ad that wasn’t on TvLand. This show is more inventive than any half hour show on network TV. It’s a real shame.
It could be the dismal writing.
The Jim Gaffigan show is the most disgusting show on TV, whom ever come up with it should be canned
This has to be one of the funniest shows on tv right now. This show is about a comic who examines his life, job, friends,wife and children and how crazy everything gets on a day to day basis. And it a revolves around his hunger for food. He really loves food! The gags are funny so I’m having a hard time finding how you found this disgusting! I understand the concept theat one mans comedy maybe another’s poison but this show is really funny. Go on YouTube and watch his performances and you may see a different light.
Yeah, most of TVLand’s original programming is just awful, but Jim Gaffigan was pretty funny. And even if you don’t like it, I don’t get what’s disgusting. I did turn off the last episode, which makes it obvious why it was cancelled. And I’m fine if you don’t like a show, but I want to understand what was disgusting in it. Can you elaborate?
I know you don’t show The New Adventures of old Christine anymore but why? I don’t think it real sexist especially when you see what is out there. I find it funny. And I have been told I have no sense of humor. You are taking all the good shows off! There is violence, sex… but you seem to not notice that.
