  • Last Week's Final Adjusted Ratings


  • About the Daily Ratings
    Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.

    The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).

    Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.

    Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).

    Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

    If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent
    Ratings FAQ.

  1. HoD does well enough on Fridays it puzzles me how The CW didn't consider this as a summer choice.


    Soft timeslot debut for Grimm, and pathetic finale numbers for Glee, albeit higher than last week

    ReplyDelete
  2. The CW deserves to be slapped or something for canning Hart of Dixie. The show held its 0.4 even post DST and it had a freaking 0.5 in A18-34. On Friday! Seriously, what the hell?

    Elsewhere, Last Man Standing is probably sealing its renewal and there was no spike whatsoever for Glee. As for Grimm, I hate to see it at those numbers. NBC executives are a bunch of morons. To subject the show to this dreaded timeslot while the Slap keeps airing post blacklist is just beyond idiotic

    ReplyDelete
  3. I though some previous viewers might tune in for the Glee finale and it could crack 1.0, but nope.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I feel so bad for Hart of Dixie :(.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I agree. Pedowitz has been making good decisions after good decisions but I cannot understand what is he thinking about this show.

    ReplyDelete
  6. That is sad for glee

    ReplyDelete
  7. Its sad that some of Glees old viewers didn't even return to watch the series finale

    ReplyDelete
  8. It is quite an irony, since glee is synonim for joy

    ReplyDelete
  9. Poor Glee. Remember when it blew up the music charts?

    So, CW cancelled Hart of Dixie but renewed Reign...

    ReplyDelete
  10. Well yeah.... But all in all glee was actually a good show (season 1 through 3)

    ReplyDelete
  11. Farewell Parks and RecMarch 21, 2015 at 3:14 PM

    Terrible numbers for Glee.


    HOD > Reign

    ReplyDelete
  12. Me neither; on top of that HoD is up year to year on a worse timeslot than last season! I honestly can't understand what was the factor that led to cancellation here

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yay iZombie repeat didn't do terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Oh yeah it actually did really well. It beat reign's original ....LOL

    ReplyDelete
  15. And those were the years when it rated high and was a hit.
    That proves that viewers won't put up with quality declines; you can't work on the TV industry if you aren't willing to keep the pace for your show as it goes on

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'd say it repeated incredibly well

    ReplyDelete
  17. Very true!

    ReplyDelete
  18. They don't need more episodes for syndication?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Last Man Standing is the unsung hero of ABC Fridays; while Shark Tank takes the spotlight, LMS is holding the fort as primetime starts

    ReplyDelete
  20. Why won't ABC move Shark Tank to 8 and use it as a lead-in for the comedy block?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Shocked that Grimm cracked 1.0. I'm sure was helped by SD DVR Frim ppl like me. If NBC wants 2hour Dateline move Grimm to 10 or Thursday at 10 - that slot is wide open now.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Shouldn't really matter though. Because more episodes would still increase whatever package it has gotten but, more importantly, the numbers it is pulling should be good enough for renewal, even without syndication factor.

    Clearly I am wrong though since this is not what happened, but I am not sure where the flaw is in my logic.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Farewell Parks and RecMarch 21, 2015 at 3:20 PM

    8 PM is a lower viewed hour.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Viewers tastes have changed. Nowadays a show would have to lightening quick fast pace, in order to succeed.

    ReplyDelete
  25. But even if they don't the ratings are quite well for Fridays, and strong enough for a summer run. They can get even more episodes for a better syndication deal while having a decent runner on the summer

  27. This week's A18-34 ratings for the CW:
    - The Flash: 1.2
    - Arrow/ The Vampire Diaries: 0.7
    - iZombie: 0.6
    - The Originals/Jane the Virgin/Hart of Dixie/Supernatural: 0.5
    - Reign: 0.3

    The fact that they canned Hart of Dixie while it is airing on a Friday with these numbers is frankly nauseating.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Rumor is Rachel wants to be a stay at home.Plus,it's not like HoDs ratings are very much better than Reigns.Also,HoD has enough episodes for short syndication & a proper ending ,Reign dosent/won't.HoD is creatively at the end of the line adding in babies anyway.They expected this to be the last season for zhoD anyway as it was written as one and back in OCT Wilson. & Scott tweeted farewell.Caw also seems to support Reign despite its ratings.It was a sign when HoD didn't get renewed with the others or that Reign,Jane,The 100 were renewed instead if it that it was unlikely to be renewed,especially with Wilson joined a new show.HoD only got this season for syndication & to wrap up.

    ReplyDelete
  29. It got the exact same ratings when they aired it at 8 a few weeks ago.

    ReplyDelete
  30. That's true, but I argue that's more for newer audiences. Those who follow a show for year want 2 things:
    -Keep doing what it does best.
    -Keep feeling fresh.
    As long as the show manages to do that the audiences will keep following it. The ratings can increase if the pace picks up and there's enough buzz - like Scandal did on season 2 -, but you can keep your initial audience as long as you keep delivering what you promised them when the show started

    ReplyDelete
  31. Their must be something going on behind the scenes which we don't know about.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Shark Tank aired at 8 PM a week ago or so and did as well as it did at 9. They could use it next season as comedy lead in

    ReplyDelete
  33. HoD tied on that demo with SPN and The Originals? And got canned?
    This is truly nonesense

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think that it's really important for a new show to do those 2 things, while they are building an audience.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Behind the scene drama is the only reason I can come up for the show getting canned. Looking at these ratings, which are up year to year, the cancellation makes no sense at all

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes. I don't get it.

    ReplyDelete
  37. DVR isn't factored into ratings

    ReplyDelete
  38. Butit's ratings aren't better than Reigns and Evrn the raw realitive ratings aren't good( 0.4-0.5& it did get 0.3 once this season& it's the second lowest rated show on Czw)& they need room on the schedule and rumor is Rachel wants to be a stay at home mom. Wilson joined a new show,this was always planned to be the end despite what Pedowitz said-Wison joined a new show,it was written as a final season,Scottt & Wilson tweeted farewell in OCT?I don't why everyone's suprised the second lowest rated show on a network with enough episodes for short syndication is cancelled especially since there's little room for it and new shows,CW was always going to cancel a couple shows this seasons.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think there is something else going on here. While we aren't privy to all the behind the scenes drama, I think we would have heard some sort of rumor if that was the case. I think there is a different financial model governing the CW nowadays and one none of us understand yet

    ReplyDelete
  40. I find it not so funny that a Friday repeat of iZombie did better than a Thurs original of Reign. I wonder if a network has ever "un-renewed" a show before.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Decent for HoD.Poor Glee,didnt rise like expected for the series finale

    ReplyDelete
  42. Checking both here and at TVBTN, Supernatural got .6 as a final rating.

    ReplyDelete
  43. CW was never going to renew literally EVERY-they were always going to cancel at least three shows

    ReplyDelete
  44. I don't understand the pecking order then. I will have to do some analysis of what they are doing to try to understand the rationale behind what they've been doing.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I don't understand how they cancelled Hart Of Dixie but renewed Beauty & The Beast??? B&TB ratings were really bad last year and this season it's not going to be different! The only Dramedy show on the CW is JTV and the only reason why they renewed it it's because the actress won the Golden Globe... Anyways THECW is now a SCIFI/ZOMBIE/VAMPIRE network now...... I wouldnt be suprise if they cancel JTV next year....(i'm still a fan of JTV i'm just saying...)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Only for extreme circunstances, such as the horses dying on Luck and the showrunners not wanting to move forward.


    But a show that has been renewed can't be unrenewed on normal circunstances; if it was possible, FOX would have ended Glee last season. Instead, they did damage control and trimmed this season's order

    ReplyDelete
  47. Maybe that was a test run for next season, but if ABC doesn't put at at 8 when the announce the schedule in May, that would be another stupid decision. Maybe the should try it out at another week but these time with the comedy block leading out of it to see if it has any effect whatsoever.

    ReplyDelete
  48. If so, I honestly hope The 100 is doing well on that model so that we get many seasons of it

    ReplyDelete
  49. BatB is a huge international seller HoD isn't.HoD has a proper ending & enough episodes for short syndication BatB dosent.BatB is a cheap international co production HoD isn't,Rumor is Rachel wants to be a stay at home mom.HoDs ratings aren't that good anyway,it's the second lowest rated cw show.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Maybe Pedowitz decided to cancel it because it was getting wrapped up creatively.
    While not the best desicion from a business standpoint, it gave him the chance to renew other shows (like Reign), who he felt needed another season to tell its stories.


    I personally love both Reign and Hart of Dixie, so while having both renewed would have been ideal, if it was one or the other, there really was no pleasing me XD

    ReplyDelete
  51. I forgot about the early renewal of Glee. I don't see how the CW justifies Reign honestly. Then again, I still call BS on BatB too, so I'll just sit back with my favorites and enjoy the roller coaster.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'd be glad Glee was over if Empire wasn't taking it's place :/

    ReplyDelete
  53. If Reign doesn't go to Fridays, it's going to be shipped to summers, but it can't stay on Thursdays as it is

    ReplyDelete
  54. hod beat tvd from last week in viewers lol

    ReplyDelete
  55. In a way, that's what Empire did; while I didn't particularly liked it, people felt it kept feeling fresh each week and that it was delivering great OMG moments on the weekly basis.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yeah, me too. I will try to investigate what is this new model in the meantime lol, because clearly something is going on there that we do not understand.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Glad for steady HoD ratings, just don't get the 0,5 0,5 and than 0,4 final ratings. But ratings are a different universe of logic.
    Bixe for iZombie to pull a 0,4. Thumbs up for it.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wilson's new show is just a 10 part miniseries. Confirmed by multiple cast members that that is all it is. There must be something behind the scenes which is fine but the fact is the CW still isn't saying its the series finale while the cast and crew have all said it basically and many are looking for new jobs. So while I am sad about the cancellation, it is fine but the fact is the CW is refusing to announce it for some weird reason when every one knows is pathetic on their part and I have lost so much respect for them. They could be advertising next week as a series finale and it seems from the promo that it is fitting. It just makes no sense why the CW is not saying anything when they clearly know its done. And frankly they can't use ratings as an excuse because while it is one of the lowest ratings, it airs on a friday and that makes a difference. So I hope when they announce it, they don't use the crappy ratings excuse.

    ReplyDelete
  59. It seems like predicting CW decisions will become as hard as predicting cable.

    ReplyDelete
  60. It seems like now shows can't even tell a story properly anymore, cause people now expect OMG moments all throughout an episode. I for one don't mind if the pace is slow as long as its not boring.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Perhaps 18-34 is not the subsection they were looking at. Maybe they are worried about the affiliates and need to get alll the shows without syndication numbers to that level while still adding something fresh to entice the affiliates. Maybe contracts became an issue. Maybe Hart of Dixie didn't do well in their online deals. There is a lot about the CW and how it makes decisions that we do not know. My guess is that it all comes down to the affiliates.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Worth mentioning that iZombie repeat quite well.

    ReplyDelete
  63. HoD did better than Reign and it's on a Friday

    ReplyDelete
  64. I wouldn't go that far. For all the talk about summer, we have yet to see it happening for the most part. I am still able to understand Beauty and the Beast's renewal last year and I didn't think any of the renewals they gave this year were that surprising or inexplicable. It's just the HoD cancellation that messes up with me. We'll know more when we understand how serious the conversation about summer is at the upfronts.
    Right now, I think these are the important principles to keep in mind:
    - they don't syndicate their shows in the traditional sense, so 88 threshold is irrelevant. Instead, they sell them to Netflix, which probably entails a) a certain number of episodes which is lower than the 88 but higher than the 44 and b) an ending for the show.
    - the relative importance of this deal far outweighs the relative importance of first air ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  65. This is what I expected to be the big news of the day. That and the fact that a repeat of iZombie did as well as a new HoD and on the same night.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I watch the show super casually, but this is so true! It holds down the fort for ABC on Fridays and absolutelly deserves the praise for it.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Yeah I posted in a comment below that I think there is clearly a different financial model going on at the CW, so I agree with your general idea that there is more to it than it meets the eye.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I know HoD is doing well now but we are lucky that HoD got a 4th closing season. Last year it hit 0,2s and a bunch of 0,3. It's airing now on fridays with poor competition and not far to compare it.
    The quality of the show is once again good but they clearly did a crowd pleaser seaaon.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I feel the thing with HoD is it probably doesn't have a lot of international appeal... which all the other shows that got renewed do...

    ReplyDelete
  70. Reign was on the top of the list for cancellation.

    ReplyDelete
  71. HOD airs on Friday and it's the 4th season.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Reign? Haha, what a bad example!!

    ReplyDelete
  73. blah blah... BATB is a huge international seller only for its desperate fans.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Yes but so was HoD,getting same ratings as Reign.Czw never cancels a show at 44 episodes so Reign was safe.HoD was desyined to be cancelled due to hsvinga proper enfing $& enough episodes for syndication and not enough room and the fact CW ends/csncels at least one retuning vetran show a season.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Good for Grimm. I wish I was higher. I really hope NBC doesn't keep it at 8 next season. They should have put it Thursdays at 10 after The Blacklist.

    ReplyDelete
  76. One factor could be if Rachel Bilson have decided to focus on motherhood over acting for now since she just gave birth recently. I know shows have found ways around to accomodate an actress' maternity leave just like what Grey's Anatomy did with Ellen Pompeo but it still falls to the willingness of the actress herself, and in Rachel's case, her being the show's central lead, to see whether or not she would continue with the show.

    ReplyDelete
  77. CW always end/cancels one vetran show or two a season,this time it was HoD.It was only given a fourth sesson to wrap up & get to syndication.CW never cared sbout Hozd anyway and dosent even include it in the genreal network tv now promos.This was clearly intened to be the last season from the get go( hence Wilson joining a new show,Scott &Wilson tweeting goidby back in OCzt,it being eritten as a final season ect).

    ReplyDelete
  78. I gave that as an example because it's the show that is being compared to HoD ratings wise. Most people are questioning why they would renew Reign while cancelling HoD. The rest of the shows rate higher than Hart of Dixie so there is no controversy there.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Still,when a lead ona "bubble" show joins a new show,98% of the time,the bubble shows getting csncelled and they know it.I agree,Czw knew from the begining this would be the end snd should have announved jt as duch,confirmed cancsllstion.But they need to ssve some cancellation/renewal annkuncements for May upfronts.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Those numbers look kinda inflated. I wonder was the CW preempted cause even HOD went up in viewers in second half.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Ibjust think creativly and emotional they reached their final stage and that is why CW canceled it eventually, at least from my pov. There were no more stories left to tell and it will conclude with an beautiful hour next week, I hope.

    ReplyDelete
  82. iZombie rose in the second half hour!! :))) Is it weird, if I hope that a rerun adjusts up??

    ReplyDelete
  83. So, if iZombie (R) can get a 0.4 and 0.5 in the half hours, so it's safe to assume, that The Messengers could premiere with a 0.5, even though hoping for a 0.6 or 0.7!

    ReplyDelete
  84. If they keep promoting The Messengers over the next month, for sure! The iZombie repeat did really well for a Friday. Hopefully next week's original iZombie holds? (an increase would be great, too!)

    ReplyDelete
  85. Wilson joined a ten episodes show and they tweeted goodbye "in case". If it was the end for sure, MP's speech is cleary different.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I think you're dreaming a lot, The Messengers hasn't Hart of Dixie's help and it's in APRIL. Probably 0.4/0.3, like Cult...

    ReplyDelete
  87. I'd be shocked if it got those numbers, at least for the premiere. I'm expecting a 0.6

    ReplyDelete
  88. As if Hart of Dixie would be helping, iZombie isn't even compatible with Hart of Dixie! And Lead-Ins don't work for the CW anyway, and even though it would, The Messengers has WLLIA season premiere as a lead-in, which is likely to get a 0.5-0.7!

    ReplyDelete
  89. I think they knew then that HoD was over that's why he joined a new show & tweeted farewell

    ReplyDelete
  90. BatB international sales cover its production costs and it sirs in more than 20-30 countries ,HoD only five or so.I didn't say BatB ratings were good cause they're not but either are HoDs or Reigns.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Dosent matter.Czw has to cancel some show and second lowest rated on CW is still second lowest rated and in danger of cancellation.

    ReplyDelete
  92. The Messengers is already getting a lot of promotion IMO, I hope/think that The CW is trying to fix Fridays with The Messengers. My dream is a 0.7 for it! But here's my prediction:

    8 Cedric's barber battle - 0.4/0.5
    8.30 WLLIA - 0.5/0.6
    9 The Messengers 0.5/0.6


    And it'd be awesome, if iZombie would rise, but I doubt it. I just hope it stabilizes around 0.7's.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Again, I think you're dreaming a lot. Let's wait for april... Considering that the last new show which displayed on friday, a.k.a Cult, has 0.2

    ReplyDelete
  94. I think you're just really pessimistic! And WLLIA getting 0.5-0.7's isn't dreaming, since last season it was getting a lot of 0.6's, and CW shows are doing better Fridays than last season.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Excstky,I think they saw last springs ratings and decided to unofficially end it this season.We are lucky to get four seasons & a proper ending considering its ratings from the beging have never been great. And it was never promoted by CW

    ReplyDelete
  96. HoD has always done well online.CW is a joint venture so it dosent matter who produces,distrubes,owns the shows as both studios-WB & CBS- share profits from each show

    ReplyDelete
  97. I heard there was preemptions Thurs -hence Reigns adjustment down-and Fri

    ReplyDelete
  98. They did pair Jsne/HoD once on Mon for HoDs season four premire,Janes season Midseason finale

    ReplyDelete
  99. You're incorrect about Czw not dyndicating thier shows in the traditional sense.
    Everyone hates Chris,Girlfriends,All if zuS,Verinica Mars,Gilmore Girls,7 th HeavenSPN,SMV all were or are syndicated.Nikita,Reaper,Secret Cricle,zgosdip zgirl,90210 of Czw original shows were or are currently syndicated too in the traditional sense,

    ReplyDelete
  100. Well even if it is or not, I also hope.

  101. Yep the show struggled through out it's run. And truth to be told the show really has no real competition in its timeslot. If it once again would go up against DWTS or Voice or even Scandal it would bounce back to much lower ratings.

  102. In which channels are Nikita, The Secret Circle (After one season only?), Gossip Girl and 90210 airing as part of a traditional syndication package? It's not a rhetorical question, I have simply never read anything about it.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Yes but so was HoD.Czw never cancels a show with 44 episodes in two seasons so Reign was gonna be renewed

  104. Nikita airs on a pivot in the US.Gossip Girl was on Dtyle in the auS( before the channel went under and changed),Secret Circle was on Chiller in the US a couple different times-in a package deal with Buffy-& 90210 started airing in Jan on POP in the US,Reaper was /is on FearNet in the US.tvbythenumbers mentioned Gzg s syndication deal the spring of its it's fifth season, but the other I've found mupyself on tv & heard from others and seen online news about.

  105. Where exactly does BatB do well? I'm not trying to sound like a dick, I just genuinely want to know. Here in the UK it's not even a blip on anyones radar.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Yeah well, with HoD only having 10 episodes & Jane 22 ,it wouldn't worked and HoDs ratings weren't good so it was never moving off Fri & Jane a critical darling/Gzg winner was never moving to Fri this season so they couldn't .Plus,they had enough other unscripted shows on Fr tonit have room for the pairing.

  107. Go it's Wiki and you'll see the countries it airs in.It does esoecially in Europe,France,Italy

  108. I know... they seemed to want to give JtV a fighting chance so they paired it with TO (which is a total mismatch but did show faith in JtV and I guess it did pay off) whereas they were holding HoD for midseason and a Friday burn-off.

    My argument is: in an ideal world they would have debuted them together on the same night as a cute female led comedy block. (Also in this ideal world of mine HoD would have probably gotten a full or a bit of a longer season).

    All I was trying to say is that, going back to last spring, when the JtV pickup was announced,
    the logical deduction was "well that's a companion show for HoD".

  109. Everybody complaining about HoD being cancelled even tho it has good ratings. There has to be a reason, i am pretty sure they have problems with cast. I mean 2 leading ladies have new born babies and actor who plays Wade is playing regular role on another show. Don't blame The CW if you don't know the reason for sure. I mean, i love the show, it is increadibly original, but we have 4 seasons and promised a proper ending, so i am OK with it ending

    Supposedly it's because BATB was pre-sold for 3 seasons internationally. That's how the network head for the channel that aired BATB in India knew they were getting Season 3, they had already bought the rights for it.

  111. A new show of ten episodes. And no, they didn't knew.

  112. Thanks for the information! For real.

  113. People always say that but I've never seen any proof and looking at past CW decisions, it definitely seems to be that CBS produced and/or distributed productions seem to be less likely to be cut if they are marginal than WB produced and/or distributed productions. It seems clear that whoever it is distributed by and the company that originally produced it (if it is not truly co-produced) does factor in their decision making. I don't think Reign would have gotten picked up much less kept on Thursday and thus renewed last season if it wasn't on the CBS side.

  114. Glee was over WAY before Empire even aired.

  115. Yh, I was thinking more when it was popular, but since it fell it's still been lurking around.

    ReplyDelete
  116. You are not by yourself. All I've heard is "international sales" and I roll my eyes. I think the CW got ahead of themselves by selling 3 seasons and would lose more money to cancel than than to renew. They spin it by claiming it does well internationally. A lot of shows do but they don't get renewed in the US with those ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  117. It got renewecearlyvladt season cause it's cheap international co-production,did well in DVr,online ,in social media and was the fifth highest rated show at the time of the early renewal & doing better than TztP,HoD,BatB,CD,Nikita,.CW most Likley decided to keep it Thurs because Vzd was declining and they are tired of failing to launch new hits after it.Spiltting profits & exspenses between studios/companies is the very definition of co-productions,joint venture ,

  118. Grimm steady with last episode. Shouldnt even be at 8pm. Small uptick in viewers as well.

    ReplyDelete
  119. In Italy? I'm Italian and I don't even know when it airs... It's certainly not doing great here. I don't care because I've never watched it, but I doubt Italy is one of the reasons it got renewed...

    ReplyDelete
  120. As for Dixie doing well online,Deadlne & Oedowitz have both said time & again,it's one of the reasons it kept getting renewd

    ReplyDelete
  121. I know, but it's still not that great. Grimm needs to pick up a few tenths so it can help carry the night next season; it does the job for NBC, but this used to be Friday's number one show alongside/behind only Shark Tank. I honestly think the show should be doing 1.3s regularly now

    ReplyDelete
  122. and Hart of Dixie rose in the second halves... Gosh CW I don't get you

    ReplyDelete
  123. I agree. American Crime is excellent. it is slow but not boring. The captivating performances hold my attention.

  124. I honestly don't get why everyone's shocked HoDs cancelled-the signs were there all along,only thing missing was CW confirming a week ago or back in OCzt or announcing it /promoting it as the final season in last May.signs:Scott & Wilson tweeted goodbyes back in Oct. Wilson joined a new show.Jamie announced she was expecting again.They said the finale would work as a satisfying series finale & introducing a Zoe 2.0 character .The last two episode titles screamed the end(End of Days,BlueBell).Leila said " 76 episodes of writting these particular love stories is enough".Its ratings weren't that good,it's the second lowest rated show on CW.It only got this fourth season for wrapping up& syndication.This season was short( yes partially due to Rachel's pregnancy but short seasons are usually final season,).When it wasnt included with the other early renewals,it mean less space for more renewals so it was unlikely to be renewed and it also meant CW had chosen to renew other low rated/mid rated shows(Jane,Reign,The 100) instead of it ,so again low chance of still getting renewed.

  125. It's also not as big internationally as The 100/Reign/JTV. In fact I've heard The 100 is the highest rated show on its network in the UK.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Yeah, I meant to include that.Did I say Reign did better internationally than HoD?

    ReplyDelete
  127. I don't think so, but it definitely does;)

  128. It was preempted in Chicago for a Bulls game and didn't air until Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  129. I disagree that there are no more stories to tell. I think there are plenty of stories they could still cover when you think about Zoe and Wade as new parents (not to mention at some point they would need to move off the plantation to have their own house where they actually have a kitchen), Lemon and Lavon newly married, whatever is going to happen with George and Annabeth, Brick and Shelby, Zoe and Lemon's new found friendship, etc, there are still stories, at least for a good writing team. I don't know if there are 22 episode worth of stories but I think there are certainly 10-12 episodes worth for another short season, which they could announce as the final season from the beginning. I will say, and have been saying for several weeks now, I think LG tied up too many things in these 10 episodes though. It looks like Wade and Zoe do get married and I wish she had just had them get engaged. I think most fans would have been satisfied seeing them engaged, with their baby, at the end. Then if they had gotten a final season the wedding planning would have been another potential story line. If it hadn't been renewed it would have still been ok.


    I think next week will be great but from a story telling standpoint I don't think they should be done.

  130. People need to stop using Wilson's "new show" as one of the excuses for cancellation. The show is a limited series that is only 10 episodes long (and always was planned that way) and is going to air this spring or summer, that had nothing to do with anything. He was able to do that show because HOD had a short season this year and was done filming by early October, that's it.


    The other arguments could be true. There have been rumors that Rachel wants to take time off to stay at home with her baby. If that is what happened and the CW was considering renewing (probably for next summer) but she just didn't want to do it, I can respect that, I just wish they would admit that's what it was (unlikely I know since it would kind of be throwing her under the bus and some irrational people would blame her). Moving it to the summer, where they have said they want more original programming instead of reruns, makes sense for a show like this. It doesn't take up room on the all important fall schedule, it has the right feel for the summer, and has a loyal audience that has already followed it from one time slot to the next (it has aired in a different time slot every season and was moved in the middle of the year last year).


    People are "surprised", I think disappointed is a better word actually, because Pedowitz gave us hope. If they were "always going to cancel" it, if it was "always going to be the last season" they should have admitted that from the beginning. Instead, they left it up in the air. Then fans see shows like BatB and Reign get renewed, with equal or lower ratings (I understand more goes into the decisions then just flat out ratings numbers but Pedowitz did say "We'll have to see how the ratings are" before HOD started). And finally, they are still promoting it as the Season (not Series) finale, that's why people are upset and annoyed. Honestly, I'm a little surprised you can't see why people are disappointed.

  131. I do see why people aredissapointed & I agree that CW should've said from the beginning it was the last season but I'm some people are genuinely suprised it's cancelled & as I said,the signs were there from the start despite what Pedowitz said.Yes,they are still promoting the finale as season finale cause networks very rarely promote a finale of a show that's very Likley to be cancelled as series finale( they did the same with Star-Crossed,Carrie,TTzp despite the terrible ratings ect) unless its been previously announced as a final season by the network.
