Don’t jump for joy yet TSC fans, a 0.6 in the first season’s finale is nothing to brag about.
90210 got renewed with 0.6 demo. So Secret Circle is safe. And when you look at the overall season ratings since September, it will def. have a second shot.
@buttondiet,
For cw’s current standards, I think it is. If anything, it will be moved to Fridays and given the same treatment as Nikita.
@buttondiet
I’d jump for joy if it wasn’t the season finale. I’m just glad it was adjusted upward.
Community does awesome for what it goes up against!
Not that i care Scandal is doing better than GCB. But neither should be renewed as they are both below a 2.0 even PP wasnt doing this bad.
@ A
Exactly
After 6 consecutive 0.7s/0.8s in February – March and now ending with a respectable 0.6 its a clear shoe in for a renewal and anyone who thinks otherwise just wants to see it fail.
NO show will ever keep TVD audience
CW just picked up 5 dramas.
@John A, yeah I see your point. But I dont see ABC canceling both. Ideally, they’d do Sundays: Once Upon a Time, Devious Maids, GCB

CW canceling Secret Circle, Nikita, Ringer, Hart of Dixie. Final season to Gossip Girl.
Yey for TVD! Truly incredible season finale. Also, shouldn’t it be above Missing in the table?
YAY grey’s! next week should easily be 4.0 and above. the question is how high will it go
so exciting! though i’m dreading the episode because of what’ll happen.
and scandal may have the bigger lead-in, but RETENTION DOESN’T MATTER. hasn’t that always been one of the golden rules? because if it did, happy endings should’ve been outta here before the fall even ended when it was getting low 3.0s and sometimes even high 2.0s out of modern family and its high 5.0s. when it comes down to numbers, scandal trumps GCB and body of proof. it’s a freshman series and with a 2.0 premiere, it should be dead in the water. but 5 episodes later and it’s still just a tick below. that audience is holding on tight. ABC just needs to get the word out.
touch definitely looks like it’ll end before a 3rd season.
is it too little, too late for the secret circle to save itself?
@SteveO
Doubt they’d cancel all 4. That’d leave them basically no backup plans and not enough programming to fill all their hours, especially since Cult and Beauty and the Beast are rumored to have cable model episode orders.
Scandal has to be the hottest
, most intriguing show on TV. Luv it. Please keep it going
OMG! So happy that TSC adjusted UP for its season finale. It was such a fantastic season finale too, and what they set up for the possible Season 2 is just incredible!
I hope with this it gets renewed. Cult is supposedly a mid-season show (13 eps), so I’m hoping TSC can still be renewed given CW’s recent pick ups.
Hope TM will rise next week.
BBT was great last nigth, im so happy for TSC let hope it gets renewed
YES!!!!! TSC ROSE HIGHER!
There Will Definitely Be A Season 2! ;-D
I think it’s too little too late for the Secret Circle. With the CW picking up 5 new dramas and the news it has renewed Nikita I don’t see where they have room for it. I won’t miss it as it got really bad as the season went on, of course I actually liked Ringer so what do I know?
