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?
Really like suits, would like more seasons, also white collar was finished a few years back, nobody died, have them hhook back up for a few more seasons
Lauren this is the best show ever!!! It totally needs to be renewed. It also needs more promos! I love the LGBT story of Philip and Lukas! Well deserves a season 2!
USA has become my most favorite channel. Too bad so many I really enjoy are cancelled. You have more quality programming than the major, mean that lightly, networks. White collar was surprised oh great is a word for SUITS.
I really enjoyed the first season of Falling Water. I hope it gets renewed. This show has a different take on dreams and the actors on the show are a pretty damn good cast. Hoping the second season gets a bigger budget to work with but, then again, USA Network is known for ****** ratings and even worse commercial marketing, at least when it came to Falling Water. The only reason I knew it was on was because it was featured on IMDd
The ratings are awful. but USA has already renewed one show with ratings under a 0.20 in Playing House despite HUGE LOSSES in Ratings and Viewers. There may still be hope.
I think Eyewitness should definitely be renewed. It was a one of a kind series and the best I have ever watched. While a different script may have to be written-so be it. The actors were terrific and should be allowed to continue as they made the show what it was.
We (my wife and I) used to watch your programming quite often, but too much of your programming is redundant and gets monotonous. If your had more military type shows like, “Combat”, “Tour of Duty”, “Rat Patrol”, “Mash”, and “China Beach”, it would spice up your programming and give “guys” and kids something to watch that is based (although fictional” on history and great shows with plenty of action, good-thinking, and without blood and guts being splattered on the camera lens. These shows, besides”Mash”, haven’t been seen in years and would be a lesson to our young minds. War is… Read more »
Eyewitness should definitely be renewed! It´s unique, deals with serious issues really well.
Yes, this is very atmospheric and well done show
when is Queen of the South going to air again?

Mr. Robot needs to be cancelled.
Damn straight! Worst thing ive been told to watch under the pretense of it being fantastic, must-watch TV.
Mr. Robot has to be beyond comprehension. Seems to have little focus.
Eyewitness would have to be a whole new show to come back.
Absolutely correct. The original Norwegian version was only six episodes and it did not have a second season. The story is over.
The story isn’t over, and the producer has repeatedly said that they really want to continue. What does it matter that the original had 6 episodes? The US version has 10. And it can have more.
WE WANT IT TO BE RENEWED!!
Hope to see Eyewitness renewed. One of the few programs on that I looked forward to every week!
Eyewitness should be at the top with the other shows! Better marketing team is very needed. Best show on their network and I can see awards flowing in! The fact that they expect the viewers to promote the show is oblivious and they should be the cause for the lack of views. Praying we get a second season and showcasing on Netflix pretty soon!
Yes I agree, I was looking for it and missed it often, now watching it on demand as well as the few i was able to record.
I loved the first season of dig!!! I wish they would come out w a season 2 already!
