2015-16 TV Cancellations: The Beast, having been fed, asks waiter for his bill.

LOST is one of the very very few exceptions of a good 2-hour premiere IMO. Want to see a crappy one? Kurt Sutter made one and it aired just last week.

Honestly I really enjoyed all of Lost's first season. Shame about the other five seasons though.

I really enjoyed the first 4 seasons. Then it kinda went off the rails. But yeah, that first season had its own unique feel. Once they started giving unsatisfying answers to the mysteries they set up, well...
 
That 1.2 actually might be quite accurate. I don't see neither the Glee fans nor the slasher comedies fans tuning in in large numbers to watch this show.
 
With all the discussion of Scream Queens on Social media I actually think it'll hit a 3 in the demo.

I know it's had a lot of social media chatter but it's also on Fox. After the way Monday went on the network, I'm keeping my expectations in check. 2.5 may be too optimistic, even.
 
Now that Wolf has got all three emergency services covered in Chicago, what's next? Chicago Law? Chicago Walmart? Chicago Taxi? The possibilities are endless, so exciting.

Or maybe that's too adventurous. How about New York Fire?
Chicago: Law & Order

Law & Order: Chicago
 
Here's a weird question. Constantine was smoking a lot in the last couple of eps of the show, and i thought smoking was one of the big no-nos on TV these days. Was that just a "we're canceled anyway so fuck it" kind of thing?
 
So the household ratings pretty much show that Scream Queens won't be a hit and that Limitless should have a good debut in the key demo.

We'll have to wait about an hour until we know the 18-49 ratings. I'm guessing it'll be around 3.0 which should leave ABC satisfied since they were going against NCIS and The Voice.
 
The Blindspot is just a slightly tweaked The Blacklist, but without someone like James Spader to prop up the whole show. It is clear NBC is trying to replicate The Blacklist's success with The Blindspot, but I don't think they will succeed. People who are in to that kind of show already have The Blacklist, and I see no unique hook in The Blindspot that would help retain its audience.
 
Wow

I thought Scream Queens would open big and fall off... seems like it isn't long for this world

Less than 5 million and 1.7/1.6 in key demo

http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/the-sked-tuesday-ratings-9-22-2015.html

The Muppets 2.8
Limitless 1.8
Scream Queens 1.7/1.6 (first hour/second hour)

I was about on target with Limitless, a little optimistic on Muppets and way overshot Scream Queens. Not a total disaster for anyone, I think, but probably pretty underwhelming.


[edit] Transcribing other ratings...

Fresh Off the Boat 1.9
Dancing With the Stars 1.6/1.4 (first hour/second hour)
NCIS 2.4
NCIS: Quantum Leap 1.7
The Voice 3.0/3.7 (first hour/second hour)
Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris 2.2 (rose appreciably from last week!)
 
Scream Queen's & Minority Report's premiere numbers are embarrassing for FOX.
 
Scream Queens is amazing and it's going to fly over most people's heads I imagine. I'll enjoy the season and already resigned to the fact that there won't be a second, even before I saw those ratings

I have a feeling that the comedies that are going to premiere before Scream Queen next week are going to do even worse!

Seriously, where is the sense is having a show produced at Ryan Murphy, aimed at younger women, follow sitcoms starring Rob Lowe and John Stamos?! I suspect that they are both going to shit the bed right out of the gate.

People only watching Fox for 3 things I guess, Empire, the cartoons, Football and then DVR'ing Gotham.
Everything else is a dumpster fire.

Fixed.
 
Um they only kill shows cuz nobody watches them.

Arguable, considering rating levels for all the networks. For instance, all their new stuff is well under Almost Human, which they killed earlier.

Network TV is becoming more and more niche, outside of the NFL.

I'd say that the live watching of broadcast shows is becoming more and more niche.

There is still interest in these shows but the manner in which the public is consuming them has changed so radically I wonder if some viewers (teen girls?) see something like Scream Queens and think "I cannot wait to binge watch that on Netflix"?

Good point - though that changes the dynamic completely of the monetization of these shows.

FOX spared no expense on building brand awareness for Scream Queens, so I'm shocked that the show didn't bring in more viewers than it did.

Then again, their core demo are more prone to binge watch it than let's say the audience for How to Get Away With Murder.

I'm not quite knowledgeable about this, and it's just a guess going from people I know, but nobody I know watches Network television. They really only watch Cable shows. And most of the time it's Netflix.
 
Wow Minority Report bombed hard. Blindspot did very well for itself though.





Watch season 2 mangs.
I'm gonna watch Season 2 probably around december when everything goes on hiatus and if i dont see some pirate ass pirate action i am gonna be very displeased.
 
Oh man. I was too generous about last night's shows. I thought they'd all do better than what I thought. Well, it can only go down from here.

Also, Fox is having yet another bad autumn. What's the floor, Fox?!
 
These Fox numbers are unreal. I've been constantly bombarded by Empire, American Horror Story: Hotel, and Scream Queens ads all summer and these Scream Queens numbers are mind-boggling.

Let's hope Scream Queens shines in DVR and streaming.
 
Minority Report was...not very good. They canceled Almost Human for this sci-fi Sleepy Hollow? You know a show is doomed when it doesn't even have a Gaf OT :p

So far I rank the new shows Scream Queens (loved it) > Moonbeam City (liked it) > Blindspot (it's alright) > Muppets (disapointed me) > Minority Report (not even sure if I'll watch more)

Yes yes Blindspot over Muppets...what can I say? :/
