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?
PUT MOM BACK ON!
Why did they cancel Mom and replace it with Two and a Half Men? Mom was a great show, funny and serious at times, I really enjoy that show. Will not be watching TAHM, this is way worse than Mom, at least in Mom they are recovering. Put Mom back on and quick!
AMEN
I agree with you. They keep the stupid shows like teachers and two and a half men. Mom was one show that was like real life. I think we all have someone we know that has been in na or aa. I don’t watch tvland As long as two and a half men are on. And don’t get me going on teachers, really are they that stupid. I would hate to think they were teaching my great grand babies.
Why is “MOM” being removed on 7/2 ?
I just saw that Mom is being replaced…..so sad…..funny show with good characters.
I agree. I’d never watched Mom on CBS but started watching it when it came to TV Land. I love the way they balance reality with humor. And now it’s gone. Hope TV Land will bring it back again.
I probably will be a former viewer of TVLand very soon. The junk they are producing along with the shows like the MTV’s ‘The ceremony from the Barker Hanger’ is corrupt and perverted. WAKE UP AMERICA AND TURN THIS MESS OFF!
We love Gunsmoke, but the same shows are played over and over…Gunsmoke aired for 20 years, could you please and schedule other Gunsmoke shows…Thanks in advance
Love Outlander. It is the best show on television. It is the only reason i subscribe to Starz.
TV land used to be a channel that I could tune in to to watch with my kids. No longer the case. While I would love to watch the oldies like Andy Griffith and Bonanza, I can’t even watch these anymore due to the commercials for the disgusting series, Teachers and Mom. And we wonder why so many youth are messed up? Thanks TV Land, for your contribution! I challenge you to create a series in the same vein as the older shows. Something refreshing?
I agree with Fay, stick with the classics. Mom, teachers, and younger, these shows stink. Some of the content on younger not appropriate for prime time television. The big wigs at tv land need to wise up.
Thanks for the commercials telling us that “Teachers” are coming back in November. I’ll be turning the channel to History. Who are the writers for this stuff? I have two Daughters, and a son in law that are teachers. I find this “show” appalling.
Need to go back to all classic tv and I don’t mean Moms.
It’s ” Mom”, and it won a Emmy and Golden Globes.
SO WHAT!!!!!! It is still a vulgar show and my kids cant watch. Now all this crap is on Saturday mornings. What has happened to the morals of this country
This network is not the TV LAND we used to enjoy.A lot of people feel the same way.
It’s amazing how poorly this network has been run in recent years .. all in a quest for the “Younger” demo. I was surprised at how much more popular the traditional shows like Happily Divorced had done. It was the perfect branding for this network and it made sense. Now, it’s confusing and stupid to mash up crap like Teachers with Everybody Loves Raymond. I wouldn’t be surprised if they next rebrand the entire network to bad single camera comedies no one has any interest in.
I have never seen a movie or TV show do savant syndrome up right, always Water’d down. just because he’s never met her real savant doesn’t mean that they’re not capable of what they say say they are in the movies and on TV but the Brother I don’t remember seeing in a funeral his brother might not be dead. I have to watch it againand again and again the print on the screen could have been bigger,
Impastor was such a funny and clever show.
Finally put on a good show only to cancel.
Just leave the old shows on since you can never get a good new one
Just read the ratings for TVLand. What do programming and network executives think of when they make programming decisions? Their new shows Nobodies and Teachers had/has lower ratings than Impastor, The Execs and even Hot In Cleveland and it got renewed. Melissa MCCarthy can’t be in every episode. And they cant make stuff likeable when it’s not. Call time of death please!
hum
WE WANT THE CLASSICS BACK!!!!! Isn’t that the whole reason for starting this network and TV lineup. And only the classics…….I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Beverly Hillbillies, etc. I agree shows like Everybody Loves Raymond should be included but these newer shows have got to go. I know NO ONE that watch’s them so what’s the point!!!!
The only thing I watch on TVLAND is The King Of Queens,Everybody Loves Raymond, and sometimes Mom.
I totally agree. No one I know watches anymore either. It has become a real smut channel now. Can not have the kids watching anymore even because of the racy filthy commercials in between anything that they could watch.
This network’s programming shift was idiotic. They were better off with reruns and traditional multi-cams.
You are so right.
