@Mike
Terra Nova is dead. Been over half a year since anything was filmed either.
NBC ordered 10 pilots and ABC ordered 13
Wow!
Gossip Girl, Ringer, Hart of Dixie, and America’s Next Top Model welcomes Secret Circle with open arms to the ever growing, “0.5 Club.”
Is a 2.0 rating on ABC at 10pm good enough for renewel?
@Bunny
NBC Universal also produces Alphas, Eureka, Warehouse 13 too. Speaking about the company on a whole, even though it was Universal Cable Productions. Either way NBC is producing lots of TV, even if its not aired on the NBC channel but instead on other channels it runs like Syfy
@John A
I think so. It’s a bubble show though.
Wasnt Parks adjusted down too? I seem to remember it being a 1.7 when you reported it earlier and now it’s a 1.6
the only shows that hasn’t hit a .5 on the CW this season is TVD, SPN, and 90210
If u take away the greys lead in it wouldnt do Scandol would flop.
This week
PP on Tuesday 2.2
Scandal on Thursday 2.0
Wow !!! PP is a fighter even in the worst time slot.
Scandal with only 2.0 should be moved next year, it’s a waste with such a big lead in.
I’m on that Harry’s Law @ 9pm bandwagon
@John A
It’s a bubble show, and I don’t think so. It would be if Scandal was 3 years old. For a new show that was heavily promoted, and the best it can do with the best lead-in ABC can offer is bellow the previous occupant did?
Aside from BBT, none of my favorites got adjusted
Scandal will be renewed. If only because it is a huge hit among African Americans. It ranked number 2 in that demographic only behind American Idol and ahead of The Voice, Grey’s Anatomy and other shows.
Woah at Scandal, still at 2.0!
For CW’s sake, glad TVD didn’t go below 1.0, it’s their only saving grace.
Poor Touch and Awake!
Big fall from POI
Secret Circle may be a lesser cousin of Vampire Diaries, but I find its story and characters more interesting and fun than what I viewed of Hart of Dixie and Ringer (1st years). It’s taken a bit of time, but TSC now seems to have a focus and it’s going strong.
@rob60990
2 hours of comedy will only be 1 hour of drama taken away
Already canceled dramas
Terra Nova
House
To be cancelled
Alcatraz
The Finder
Touch
That means they need to pick 4-5 new dramaz which im not sure if they want to do that again
TSC is really getting good just when the ratings start to fall and it’s a shame cause last night’s episode was really good.

@The End
LOL i know it was canceled and i was thinking they may bring it back for mid season to save face behind american idol and then they should find better writers with a certain direction they want the show to go in… i dont understand why they didnt have better writers after all that time of production. and the fact that they wanted it to be the next big show they should have put it behind something big like american idol in the first place
2 Broke girls arrived in the UK 2 weeks ago and it’s a big hit on e4..
BBT is also Huge over there
