GG should’ve been given a full final season, 11 episodes aren’t enough
CBS won again! Great job on the finale episodes for all the comedies and H50. Congratulations!
@Aakygt
I’m sorry but magically going from 800,000 viewers to up 1.14 million isn’t something to really be proud of or impressive.
@Robin;
Its a show in its 5th season with story lines that went downhill; IT IS impressive. Especially for CW. You obviously don’t know anything about the show.
Really, really happy for HoD. I know the ratings aren’t the best, but 1.6 million viewers for the CW is pretty good. I hope the CW promotes it well this time around, because I think it has a chance to grow.
Hey, for a popular show that was stuck in a horrible time slot on a horrible night, I think Bones did a heck of a good job!!
@ Taylor “I need to catch up on Hart of Dixie too from the beggining, I just recently start watching due to everyone was talking about it and it’s fate on here and now I’m hooked lol. I started watching it back in March, so that’s pretty much half the season!”
me too, I started watching Hart Of Dixie due to the comments on tvbythenumbers and now it is my favorite show!
CW has my favorite show Hart Of Dixie , they need to give it a better time slot and promote it more
I wonder if Gossip Girl’s rebound was due to its renewal? Fans may have been leaving the show due to the possibility of cancellation. Still wish Secret Circle was renewed – if only as a midseason replacement. I’m disappointed it was canceled in favor of Hart of Dixie. But, there’s always next fall, which looks promising.
NBC should always be on top! If they be smart!
CBS is always one up on all the networks ! They just too good who watches i wonder who watches CBS!
11 episodes is enough for GG, at least it will get a good send off! I can’t see where else it could have went in terms of the storylines…..
At least it has made some big actors.
Good to see Heart of Dixie end the season with a .6. I hope they show repeats during the summer sometime. I watched half of the season so maybe i can get got up over the summer and i really hope it grows and has a better lead in or if it is the lead out show.
@Jenny
Yes they really do need to promote it more! I think it could possibly gain more viewers if this happen! It’s also my new favorite show lol! I LOVE IT! I haven’t felt this way about a show since Gilmore Girls lol.
Hart of Dixie premiered with 0.8 18-49 ratings, and 1.8 million viewers. It ends the season with 0.6 18-49 ratings, and 1.6 million viewers.
Seeing how it maintained itself and had good retention from season premiere to finale, maybe its reneweal is now NOT in question?
CW just needs to promote it harder.
I didn’t expect Mike & Molly to have more viewers than 2.5 Men although the latter is still far ahead in the demo. Anyway, nice rating for HIMYM
So-so performance for DWTS but The Bachelerette did OK
Poor House, it’s ending silently
Good performance for AGT
I’m not a fan of the show, but HOD definitely deserved that renewal. Interested to see how it performs next year.
Bones Finale was like the good ole Bones we all love so hopefully we can get back on track with the ratings for Season 8!!!
Hahaha cw ratings blow like usual. Abcfamily kicks its ass on Mondays and will continue. What a waste of network. Lol can’t wait to see them crash and burn!
The Bachelorette did good. Great retention after dwts. 2.6/2.6
Deadline is reporting that it looks like a renewal for Rules of Engagement is going to happen, but that sitcome expansion is unlikely.
Rumored scheduling is The Mentalist is moving and Partners is premiering in the fall.
