I wanted to piggyback off of this cause I thought the same thing but you guessed it first so I will go with 0.6

Arrow, like Supernatural, stops when they want it to stop
I wonder how poorly the Blacklist spinoff is going to do.

Actually most surprised at Riverdale. It seemed like the show was building a lot of interest online.
Its real problem now will be that it's a WB show. Those numbers would be pretty great if it was a CBS production.
I'm actually kind of worried for it. Everything is trending down and it's not going to have a strong lead in for most of the new season.

Sub-1.0, I'm sure. It's kinda acting like Agent Carter did for Agents of SHIELD, though — it's filling a two-month gap while the main Blacklist series is off the air. Better than repeats of the main show, I guess, which typically do very badly.
Riverdale is on Netflix. It makes sense.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
It's a co-pro with CBS.

Technically everything on the CW is listed as a co-production. It's distributed by WB, though.
Only in non-US territories.
Gotcha, thanks Dan. I got tired of the constant runaround of the plot so I dropped the show, but am still curious about how it performs and will have at least a mild curiosity about what the final reveals of the series entail.

Frequency and the DC shows aren't.
If it isn't DC, CW is going to prioritize co-pro. If Riverdale is a success on Netflix, they will greenlight the show for a second season I have no doubts - especially following the reception of Frequency & No Tomorrow.

Not surprised at Riverdale. Probably would work better on Freeform since PLL is ending this year.
Also not that surprised at the Blacklist ratings since it's been going down every season.

I'm not completely down on Riverdale's chances of a renewal, but it'll require the show not drop any further and for other shows to perform worse.
The odds aren't bad, but I wouldn't want to have to put money on it.
For what it's worth, here's what The Former Cancellation Bear had to say about Riverdale after its premiere a week ago:

listen to the mad man
It doesn't seem there's a model for that thinking, tbqh.
I mean, there's a model he's using it the question is whether The CW is using that model.
He's had a few high-profile whiffs.

Yeah, the CW really threw a wrench into many of his predictions a few seasons back.
It's also clear that he's not taking into account critical reception/awards, streaming, international sales, etc.
The algorithm for deciding a CW renewal is pretty complex.
I'd say in general these days. There's just a lot of factors to consider now as broadcast television learns how to exist in a no commercial/streaming world.
If everything else fails they have to renew it, no? No? Yes? Yes? Argh! Someone give iZombie a Golden Globe, quick!
If iZombie gets cancelled, at least we got 3 seasons.

April 4th aka forever away
Thank you.
CBS only mentions a single new CW show for the year; No Tomorrow. And this PR blurb makes a distinction as well.
im not even mad

What's with those Riverdale numbers? Jesus, I hope it doesn't get cancelled.
It being on Netflix internationally is good, right? What do the Netflix contracts look like, do they have to keep buying seasons as long as the show runs or can they opt out? I read that for syndication whoever buys the rights can get stuck with an expensive show because they have to pay for episodes as long as they are produced, hopefully it's the same for Netflix.

At least we get a double episode premiere, but the wait has been ridiculous.

so rude
doesnt seem very good
I already commented in the thread but it's not my flavor at all. I watched two more episodes during lunch and I'm still not digging it. Olyphant is the bright spot but I think I'm done watching anymore. Braindead and iZombie did this comedy/horror thing MUCH MUCH better. But I thought Stranger Things was just okay. What do I know? lol
let me cut you off right there, and before your comment triggers all the haters out of their holes and the positive silent majority stays, well silent, let me say that Stranger Things was in fact, amazing.
FWIW, I thought stranger things was a lot of fun and that iZombie is significantly better than it. So there exists people who liked both of those.
On a totally unrelated note, I see you're interested in a show about zombies. Have you heard about a show called iZombie?
You should check it out. I think you'd like it.
