Um
ReplyDeleteNo Muppets, Scream Queen or Supergirl
...
That's good lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't think The Catch will do that good.
ReplyDeleteSame.
ReplyDeleteThey predicted State of Affairs in the top 15 last year. LMAO
ReplyDeleteNo complaints from me. The Blacklist could have been there, but NBC botched that up big time....
ReplyDeleteSo advertisers are pretty confident Scandal will get its mojo back
ReplyDeleteEmpire will do better than that i think
ReplyDelete😂 LOL
ReplyDeleteI actually think that's reasonable, maybe slightly higer
ReplyDeleteEmpire - 5.5 - Pessimistic
ReplyDeleteScandal - 3.4 - Optimistic
HTGAWM - 3.3 - Optimistic
Modern Family - 3.2 - Optimistic
The X-Files - 3.1 - Optimistic
Blindspot - 3.0 - Optimistic
The Catch - 3.0 - Optimistic
Empire - 5.5 - Pessimistic
ReplyDeleteScandal - 3.4 - Optimistic
How to Get Away With Murder - 3.3 - Optimistic
Modern Family - 3.2 - Optimistic
The X-Files - 3.1 - Optimistic
Blindspot - 3.0 - Optimistic
The Catch - 3.0 - Optimistic
Yes, but it ended with a 6.9, so I don't think it will fall to a 5.5
ReplyDeleteI expect to rebound from the spring but don't see it doing the mid 3s
ReplyDeleteBesides TGIT promotion, I think
ABC needs a promo similar to a Revenge S3 promo that was able to help
BONES IS THE BEST!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're placing way too much faith on The Catch but that's just me.
ReplyDeleteI agree as well.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, the Emily gets shot promo boosted Revenge from a 1.6 to a 2.3, so they really need something that big to get Scandal's motors running again. After that... well, it'll be all about how TGIT and Scandal itself fare
ReplyDeleteAgree I am expecting more of a 2.5ish.., should be way above AC
ReplyDeleteI honestly think Murder will end up rating higher than Scandal next season
ReplyDeletePossible..esp if Viola nabs the Emmy just a couple of days before
ReplyDeleteHere's to hoping Supergirl flops.
ReplyDeleteIt'll get a renewal,no doubt about it but not that big as these people are making it out to be.Scream Queens,Muppets & Supergirl have that potential IMO.
ReplyDeleteI am predicting though early
ReplyDeleteGreys 2.7-2.8
Scandal 3.1
Murder 3.3
I don't think Supergirl has that potential.
ReplyDeleteNot that High for Scandal.Maybe 2.8 ish?
ReplyDeleteScream Queens should premiere but I see it falling a la AOS S1
ReplyDeleteThe Catch should benefit from easy time slot/ huge Oscar promotion
Definitely true. The Blacklist has been destroyed.
ReplyDeleteThe lame storylines didn't help either.
ReplyDeleteHow to get away with Murder has a big chance of becoming as hot as Scandal was, while Scandal has the chance to become a good performer like Grey's.
ReplyDeleteOnce Grey's retire, Scandal will go on at 8, and Murder will move to 9PM (maybe sharing its timeslot with The Catch if it does well) and a new Shonda drama will air at 10. And so ABC will keep TGIT forever, and ever and ever...
I know. Both worked together to kill the show lol.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you this-It will premiere big.What happens after that? your guess is as good as mine!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but I think it could post the 3.0. It would be a +0.7 increase from the finale, which is what Revenge did on its 3rd season premiere, so it's possible, especially taking into account all the promotion that ABC will put on it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Scandal will bounce back. Tbh I think HTGAWM will do better, like
ReplyDeleteScandal 2.9
HTGAWM 3.0
Seems legit, though I'd made some slight adjustments:
ReplyDeleteGreys: 2.7
Scandal: 3.0
Murder: 3.2
As I said, slight adjustments
I don't think it will premiere big.
ReplyDeleteEven all TGIT shows crash ABC can still average a 2.0/2.1 for the night
ReplyDeleteI hope HTGAWM does really well!
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, HTGAWM's avarage for the season is 2.96 while Scandal's is 2.87, so Murder already outrated Scandal on avarage this season
ReplyDeleteYep, Thursdays is the least of their troubles
ReplyDeleteDid they drop all those things the fans talked about last season that disappointed them? B13 SL or Getting rid of annoying characters like Rowan,Jake? That might help.
ReplyDeleteWell if GA can achieve a 2.7-2.8, Scandal should able to build by a couple of tenths
ReplyDeleteI think Gotham's performance his year hurt the predictions towards Supergirl
ReplyDeleteDon't underestimate GA.I think it will beat Scandal in the fall after some episodes.
ReplyDeleteRowan is in jail
ReplyDeleteJake left
B613 was completely dead
Didn't it already?
ReplyDeleteI think The X-Files is one of the few up there that could easily do a lot better than a 3.1.
ReplyDeleteI never do.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping X-Files premieres to a 4.0 rating at least.
ReplyDeleteGood for the fans,i know almost everyone complained about these.
ReplyDeleteJust for Derek's Death eps
ReplyDeleteIMO Gotham is super boring.I hope Supergirl is better.
ReplyDeleteYup as long Shonda produces shows that can achieve 2s the night is hers
ReplyDeleteTrue, and they tied once before that
ReplyDeleteIt will have football so likely will
ReplyDeleteI was already gonna watch Blindspot because its looks good but I never thought that it would make it up there with the top 15.
ReplyDeleteABC essentially gave her the keys to Thursdays; she can do anything she wants there
ReplyDeleteThat's so good to hear.Go Keating clan!
ReplyDeleteCaught some Gotham episodes; never got into it.
ReplyDeleteI'm also hoping Supergirl is better; since the people behing Arrow and Flash are on it, I'm hoping for the best
Gotham is a bad show, but I still watch it because I love the Batman universe.
ReplyDeleteI expect TBBT to continue its decline further next season.
ReplyDeleteI know it's renewed through S10 is that the final though?
It'll depend on the cast and crew. CBS kept 2.5 Men around when it was doing high 1s, so it'll keep TBBT if the people behind the show is up for it
ReplyDeleteI think it has a chance.
ReplyDeleteYup plus the last couple of eps that the decline happen were all cases of the week
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on the cast... I don't see them continue if the big characters leave
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't find Batman appealing at all.LOL!
ReplyDeleteBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteWow didn't expect the catch to be on there, isn't that a mid-season show too?
ReplyDeleteYes it is a mid season show.
ReplyDeleteHahaha.I know.
ReplyDeleteMinus Empire a lot of show will possibly be down big time
ReplyDeleteThe moment Jim Parsons steps out of the door, the show is done.
ReplyDeleteWow! Didn't know that, but so great to hear!
ReplyDeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is, the round up numbers are:
ReplyDeleteMurder: 3.0
Scandal: 2.9
Exactly the prediction you left above xD
I found it optimistic.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, its last half hour was a 7.0, so it may premiere higher than a 7 (my guess is a 7.7)
ReplyDeleteSeason 9 was usually scoring around 5.8 to 6.1 on a regular basis, there's no reason to assume it couldn't do better than 3.1. In fact I think it's almost guaranteed it will. It's not like they're asking people to go to the movie theater and The X-Files is one of the most influential television shows in history, and lots of people still wanna see the resolution to the series. So, I think so.
ReplyDeleteWell, most of the people who watched the original have aged, it ended 13 years ago, but I still think it'll do pretty good. I think around mid 3s
ReplyDeleteIt ended with a 6.9 so I don't think a 5.5 is optimistic.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but viewers have changed a lot since the then. I think their is potential for the show to be a ratings hit, but since TV ratings have been falling for years now, you just don't know.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that it's going to be that high, but it's not impossible. my guess is a 7.1
ReplyDeleteI think/hope The Muppets and Scream Queens will premiere with +3.0
ReplyDeleteHm-hm I don't think Scandal can be aired at 8 with the violence/sexual content.
ReplyDeleteYep, having seen it I can tell you that I was really disappointed and didn't feel the 'Shonda vibe' at all.
ReplyDeleteUgh they'll do like last year and give us two shitty teasers (talking about Scandal)............... -_-
ReplyDeletePeople said the same thing before it moved from 10 to 9, saying it wasn't apt for 9.
ReplyDeleteAnd honestly, there's always a way around that. Revolution aired at 8 on Wednesday and its content was apt for a 10pm show.
I thought it was only Shonda who didn't it moved to 9 because they'd have to make lighter content but then they made a deal etc to air it at 9 but with the same content.
ReplyDeleteI never understood why Revolution wasn't apt for 8 (according to people) to be honest.
Well American Crime got that promotion that The Catch is going to have and still it premiered okay but then it just keeps going down and down.
ReplyDeleteI sort of take this with a grain of salt, since football is a no-brainer, and last's year's top predictions included The Blacklist on Thursday and State of Affairs.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. I had seen all of the hype about the show and decided to check it out, but I didn't watch an episode of it until it had finished. Next season I'm going to be watching it from the start, I think that there are a lot of people like me.
ReplyDeleteJust batman, or everything from Gotham City? Cause I think Batman is meh, but I like the Gotham Villains!
ReplyDeleteBlindspot and The Cacth at 2.9? I didn't expect TC in that list, so odd.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise. S4B of Scandal was so boring
ReplyDeleteI think Scandal is going to season 1 levels and Grey's will follow or even lower.HTGAWM will be next.
ReplyDeleteand you mean "aged" you mean over 50 years old?
ReplyDeleteTGIT forever...good lord I need to stop watching tv.
ReplyDeleteBut airs at 8pm in Central time zone so what's the difference?
ReplyDeleteI hope Blindspot does well.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch Scandal, but my mom was in love with it. She has officially taken it off her DVR series list.
ReplyDeleteI love Scandal but it didn't have a brilliant
ReplyDeleteEverything from Gotham City.I just find it bland.
ReplyDeleteAdd the recasting on top of it and we might be looking for a disaster waiting to happen.
ReplyDeletenone of those will earn a 2.8 or higher for even one episode.
ReplyDeleteI really don't what they were thinking with that show to be honest.
ReplyDelete13 episodes is going to way to long to uncover the 'mystery'.
10, or even 8 would be enough IMO.
Well, yeah, a good chunk of the audience must be over 50 (those who were 37 and onward), but those who were on their 20s and early 30s will still be on the 18-34 demographic, so I think the ratings will be in the mid 3s as opposed to the 6s it was getting back on its final season
