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 just binge watched season 1 Rush and loved the characters, great acting, and blend of humor and human drama. If it’s not getting the ratings that may be because there hasn’t been enough publicity or not enough time for word of mouth. I really hope it gets another season. Likewise, I’ve recorded and kept up with Graceland since it started. Another very entertaining show that works on various levels. Please renew both!!
My husband and I love Satisfaction! We are really hoping for a second season. I see alot of possibilities for how a second season could go. Hoping Rush and Satisfaction are not cancelled!!
Please do not cancel Rush…it has comedy, drama all in one..great show..
both Rush and Satisfaction are well worthy of second seasons!! Sometimes shows like these need that second year word of mouth buzz to catch fire! These are well acted well written shiws that are rare finds I pray you keep them on the air my wife and I love watching them both!
My husband and I feel the same way about Satisfaction. Please, please, please renew it!
I’ve only seen two new shows mentioned for USA – Complications and Dig. Two shows are ending. Looks like FBI in Israel replaces FBI in NY and ANOTHER doctor show replaces Psyche. As a result, unless something else hits the radar, everything else on the schedule gets renewed cause USA doesn’t have anything to replace it with, horrible ratings or no. With Sirens being renewed at .4/1 mill that seems to be the cut off so only Covert Affairs is below. If someone knows of another show in the works for 2015 then start at the bottom, Covert Affairs, and… Read more »
Here is another example an excellent TV program ( Graceland ). It has a great potential
interesting it kept you in wanting for more all the secrets a very well put together. Now the killed one of the main characters giving the impression that its over. Another mistake
this channel are dropping the best shows ? What are they thinking ?
Rush is my favorite right now! PLEASE bring it back for Season 2!!!!!!!!
NO!!!! Do NOT cancel this show. I absolutely love it and want it to continue.
RUSH AND SATISFACTION are the best please NO!
Makes me think they should have never cancelled Psych…
Have never gotten into Graceland, Rush, Satisfaction (and I love Matt) or Sirens.
Miss Burn Notice, Unnecessary Roughness and Psych. Love Suits, White Collar, Royal Pains and Covert Affairs.
Pysch was done and they knew it well ahead of time as the word got out a year beforehand and most involved were ready to move on.
after watching half of the first episode of satisfaction i now change to another network when i see a ad for the show.
Please do not cancel Rush, It is by far one of the best shows on any of the networks. My friends and I look forward to watching it every week. The acting is excellent!
I think rush should be renewed its one of the better shows on tv
graceland should get renewed
it will, cause USA doesn’t have anything to replace it with
Last year with a .8/.9 demo it was on the bubble, this year after losing half its audience it’s almost sure to be renewed. Tells you how far USA has fallen.
Seriously, I agree. Please do NOT cancel RUSH, or Satisfaction, or Royal Pains. I’ve watched all of these shows and love them.
