I don’t understand why ABC would cancel Women’s Murder Club which comes at number 10… While keeping such show as Super Nanny, Wife Swap which are viewed by even less people.

Supernanny costs less to make and performed better in the 18-49 demo which unfortunately we don’t get to rank in these charts. While these charts are very useful for the participants playing the TV Bigshots game, they don’t necessarily provide much insight into what shows will/should be cancelled. See Bill’s “TV Cancellation Index Post” for much better information on that topic!

HD, as Robert said, we no longer get weekly adults 18-49 data for every show, so we cannot present it like we do the average viewer and HH rating data.
Even though the 18-49 demo was not perfect, they are still keeping that crappy/unfunny Jim crap as well. I think they are losing a great show that pretty much kept all eyes on them and was a great lead in for 20/20 on Fridays. I wasn't home watching on Fridays but I Tivo'd all season. Hate to see it go.
