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?
I still can’t believe that Covert Affairs was canceled. I was a great show and I wish they had renewed it for another season. So they could have at least finished the story.
Recently watched Eyewitness on demand and it was such a great show. I don’t understand how it got canceled. You should bring it back. We loved it!
Sometimes, we have to say goodbye and I am afraid that is the fate of Suits. Without Patrick and the other characters, it lost its swag and is without the excitement it once had. I wish it could be revived because I loved it and with a little imagination it could have been better, to many big names and not enough humanity as before, the family element is gone and power has been stripped from Harvey, Boring!
Not in my opinion. Mike character was beginning to grind at me. He left at the right time! Like the new characters. Harvey is mellowing, like that too! Let’s face it Donna and Haven make the show!!!!
You did not add in Burn Notice. Burn Notice is probably the best USA show.
“Queen of the South” is an amazing serial!
I **** that renew Queen of the South. Thats the only show I watch on USA. I lost faith in them when they cancelled Psych and Sirens. Those shows were awesome.
I lost faith in them too after Burn Notice and Psych. I just recently started watching Queen of the South, and like it a lot.
I cannot believe my eyes that in this day and age you would be broadcasting a show like The Purge. If you want to give some crazy ideas that show will do it!!!
I Lost all faith in USA sjnce they cancelled Covert Affairs, after FIVE season with a HUGE Cliffhanger. It was unrespectful with viewers, i hope they bankrupt
I will not watch anymore episodes of Suits. I don’t like Katherine Heigl and with Mike gone the show is awful.
Agree! %100
Bull not true!!! It’s better and will continue to get better as the new characters have time to blend!
Please @USANETWORK …You renewed Shooter it’s down much more and doesn’t have a huge following all over the world …. #RenewColony It’s the best show on TV ..I’m watching from Canada every weak via Bravo and so many others …
I really hope Colony gets a 4th season! It’s my favorite show on tv at this time! Season 3 has been the best season this far and I’d hate to see USA cancel it before it has the chance to finish telling the story!
Colony is a terrific show! Hope it gets a couple more seasons.
Why isn’t WWE RAW and SD! in these RATINGS as they both should be on there
Love Suits and will continue watching, watched Sinners for Season 1 and probably won’t be watching Season 2 as it just doesn’t hold my interest. Watched Damnation Season 1 and was looking forward to Season 2 only to learn they CANCELLED it!!! Yet you keep Mr. Robot (yes, I have watched that, too, and repeatedly turned the channel before the episode was over)!! Dumb move on USA’s part. Hope some network is smart and picks this series up and gives it the promoting that it deserves!
I really can’t believe you have cancelled Damnation I’ve just watched the last episode and I thought it was the best series I’ve watched in the years I think you should reconsider and bring out second season I think that you just didn’t advertise it enough as I’ve only just found it .
