Last updated: Most recent ratings added for Chucky.
There’s lots of data that USA Network 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?
Dig was an awesome show. One of the best. Why do the best shows have to be cancelled? Please bring it back.
The show Colony is one of the most best shows that was ever filmed. Why there were only 5 episodes does not make sense.. Also DIG was a great show.
I agree, will never understand why dig was cancelled,
The Royals is an awesome show that should not be cancelled. Along with Mr. Robot, Suits. The Tyler Perry show is one of the most FAKE,, stupid shows that I ever have seen. Just because he interviews Hollywood stars only does not make what he says real. Its so phony that it makes me sick to watch it for even minuets
It’s a shame most of the shows in that chart are cancelled. Still think it was the most horrible decision of the network to cancel Graceland-especially when it was on several cliffhangers. That was really cold-blooded of them.It almost seemed spiteful. Me and several other fans are still sending requests to netflix about picking up a season 4 to give fans some closure. I also noticed that the petition still continues to be signed which is great. It just shows that when summer comes around, even more people will be really up in arms and maybe the crew, cast, and… Read more »
I don’t understand why you cancel the best shows that were on. Like Graceland, Covert Affairs, and of course Rush. He was awesome but you don’t give us enough time before you decide to take everyone’s favorite shows off the air. But you keep wrestling on… It makes NO sense!!!!!!!!
Graceland, Covert Affairs and Rush should not have been canceled. Great shows, great actors, and entertaining plots. Bring them back.
I think Suits an excellent show and I DVR and watch it several times to make sure I did not miss anything. Please keep it on!!!!!
I hate that Satisfaction was canceled! I love that show!
I loved the show “DIG”. I loved the excitement and the ‘location’ in Israel. The story line was somewhat believable as the more extreme Orthodox wish this to be true. I was really hoping this show would be continued and the writers would continue with another unrelated story with some facts taken from the Bible.
I used to wait to watch each episode of “Dig” :/ sad that it’s been cancelled ;/
Pissed off that Covert Affairs and Graceland were canceled! Mr. Robot, watched the entire season, hard to follow…what was real, what was inside his head.
Maybe shows with any kind of complications are just not something you should get involved with. No Fight Club or Mr. Robot, because that’s what Mr. Robot basically is. A tech-savvy Fight Club
I agree with USA being fixated with wrestling for ratings. It is their problem. We enjoyed Royal Pains, Graceland, Complications, Rush, Satisfaction Dig, White Collar and Colony. I suspect Satisfaction is finished so that leaves Colony as Royal Pains has wrapped up filming. Tried to watch Mr.Robot. Not agreeing withe the Globes on that one . Gave up on Suits but may jump back in. A lot of good shows on that list that are better, in my opinion, than network shows. Sad to see USA spin out. Cancelling Rush, Complications and Graceland etc. were mistakes made by a lack… Read more »
I think it is awful that Graceland was cancelled. It was such a good show.
Try better networks like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or even AMC
You know one reason why shows keep losing viewership? Waiting several months between seasons. You wait too damn long. Then people loser interest while waiting for the next installment.
I really was waiting on new season of complications. Can’t believe it was cancelled. I still have 1st season on my DVR. Wow!
I’m so disappointed that Complications was cancelled. I really enjoyed the intensity of each episode and thought the cast did a wonderful job! Will USA ever run the series again? If not, will these videos be on sale any time soon?
