It is a personal favorite of Pedowitz. Unless they want to end it, I expect a fifth season to wrap it up and make it a nice syndication package.

It was good, but the part where certain someone got a character assassination pissed off some fans.
Just keep going. Season 4 seems interesting so far and it feels like it's setting up towards an end point to the series.
Syndication need 88 episodes right? Season 5 would be like 30 episodes long to get there. Even Pedowitz wouldn't be that crazy.

A big fifth and final season split in two halves and airing with a one year break between them.
It's kind of incredible to me how Fox has handled Bob's Burgers. Like, serious, wtf is up with this episode schedule??
Ep 1: 9/25
Ep 2: 10/9 (2 weeks)
Ep 3: 10/23 (2 weeks)
Ep 4: 11/6 (2 weeks)
Ep 5: 11/20 (2 weeks)
Ep 6: 11/20 (same day)
Ep 7: 11/27 (1 week)
Ep 8: 1/8 (holiday break)
Ep 9: 2/12 (more than a month)
Ep 10: 2/19 (1 week)
Ep 1: 9/25
Ep 2: 10/9 (2 weeks)

Lucifer renewed by Fox for S3.
Nobody cared about him. Nobody.
Another 13 would however be good enough for a reduced syndication package. Like Nikita for instance.
I got 3 episodes left of Season 1, and then I'll see how I feel about it. I've liked the season so far and almost think the whole ordeal in space is more interesting than the young ones survival on Earth at this point. Although I hope the stuff on Earth gets even better in Season 2 and that it won't just be all warfare and stuff like that. I'm disappointed I haven't seen more crazy creatures like the two-headed deer in the pilot.

listen to the mad man
Strip syndication, which is an increasingly small part of overall syndication sales, wants at least that many episodes (4-5 months at 5 episodes a week). But remember that they are also doing foreign syndication, non-strip TV deals, and digital syndication (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) As someone who doesn't know shit about shit, it strikes me that virtually every journalist, analyst, and thinker in this space overestimates the value of the magic strip-syndication line.

Worse case scenario, I bet The 100 gets a final wrap up season in 2018. Maybe it gets moved to Fridays or they air it in late spring or the summer, but I can't see The CW pulling the plug suddenly. I'm slightly concerned for iZombie though...

Fox seemed to have made the wrong decision airing originals.
The big networks actually air movies during primetime? I never saw that lol

That is what they do when they know something else will steal all the attention.

People who watched it Live + people who watched it on their DVR up to three days after airing the episode

More or less. It's anyone that watched the specific episode on TV (time-shifted plus the premiere and reruns) during the first 72 hours. It doesn't include on-demand numbers.

I swear to God Gotham better not get cancelled.
I really like it. It's nice being able to select live shows from a channel guide as if it's regular cable TV while also being able to watch almost any recently aired show on demand. It's also awesome installing the app on my iPad to watch TV while washing dishes or lying in bed or sitting on the toilet. It's a reasonable amount of money for a lot of channels you'd want to watch and not a lot of channels you don't care about.
As for TV viewing, I'll warn you: It runs acceptably well on a PS4, but the UI is frustratingly slow on an Amazon Fire stick. I presume it's slow on a PS3 as well, but I haven't tried it yet.

I like it. I rarely use it these days but it's nice during the rare occasions where I want to watch live TV. I got way more use out of it during the election season.

There's no way Gotham is getting cancelled.

I do worry that Gotham will get it's budget slashed. Which would be a shame- the production values are fantastic and they have a really deep bench for their supporting class with a lot of really good actors.
Razgriz-Specter

This.
Gotham can't be cheap imo.
Production value is some of the best out there atm.
I think the best way to handle Gotham would be, rather than budget cuts and all that, to lower its episode count. If they do a super solid 13 episodes, it's a show that could really benefit from that.

13 episodes would mean budget cut because they'd have less money to move around, they won't get the same money for 13 episodes as they do for 22. Nearly every show gets a budget cut as it goes on, it just depends on how deep and what ends up needing to be cut.
AFAIK the show is very profitable for WBTV in its current state, I don't think they'd do too much to hurt that profitability and it's still one of the better and consistent performers on Fox.
Timeless is getting cancelled, isn't it?
Almost certain. =\ Having a shit lead post-Voice (or was it AGT? I don't pay attention to those shows) hasn't helped it but it's done a poor job holding the audience it started out with.

Yes, but then they have less Gotham to put on the air.
Timeless is getting cancelled, isn't it?
So very hard.
I like Riverdale, but feel like Warner/Archie should work on shoring up that show... but guess going head on

Huh, seems like Jane the Virgin's numbers are up. I wonder if it's because of what happened last week.
They aren't up. JTV has been coasting on 0.4 for the entire season, with a few dips to 0.3 here and there.

It's usually around 983,000 to a million viewers. It's like 1,107 this week, unless it adjusts down later.
That's pretty minor/meaningless really.
Jane is sticking to the 0.4 and one million viewer area give or take ten percent. The comic shows got way bigger bumps from the crossovers and even that amounted to nothing by the next week.

Woo! Great show. No surprise in its renewal but I'm glad it got one early.
Awesome!!

Me too. Great show.
Great news. Look forward to it every week.
I haven't caught up since the fall (so I think I'm two or three behind?), but this is awesome news!

This cut deep. I'd trade 5 Netflix Originals for 1 more season of The Grinder.
I'd trade all of ABC, Netflix, and CBS for one more season of Carnivale.
