Burn Notice was awesome yesterday.
Steady as she goes, Burn Notice! Season 7 here we come!
Great ratings for Awkward given the Viacom situation.
Anger Management has really gone down. Is there any chance of a “normal”
2nd season or is the only option the 90 episode pick up (which would never
seem likely)?
Anger Management is still falling (from 1.3 to 1.0 this week).
Anger Management uhhh..
From 5.471 million 2.1 18-49 – Ep 1
to
2.421 million, 1.0 18-49 – Ep 4
That’s quite the drop and unexpected to me. Poor Sheen.
Pretty certain this show will be cancelled should it drop further, infact I would put cancellation at greater than 50 percent if it does. If we’re speaking about odds.
Burn Notice up!!!
Woah. That’s quite the drop for Anger Management. It’s not looking too good.
Wow, best Burn Notice ratings since August 2011.
@Amy
Indeed, I can imagine the Anger Management/Sheen haters breaking out the champagne as they’re virtually over the line at this rate in the cancellation race, unless things improve.
Anger Management is gone after 10 Episodes. There is no way they set such a “low” bar for the +90 episodes deal.
GO AWKWARD.
YES! I was really worried about what its ratings would have been like, but to see it pull a 0.8 and UP from last week’s episode with the whole Viacom vs. DirecTV ordeal going on, this is great news!
No doubt MTV will renew this show, and I’m hoping it comes with 24 episodes as well. Go Awkward.!
awkward is a great show. mtv should be thankful that it became a hit behind teen mom last summer.
really creative and really funny.
GO AWKWARD.
and I am liking snooki and jwoww. they make me laugh
Anger Management beats all other original programming on FX in 18-49 besides SOA and the occassional Justified episode. If it settles in at 1.0, i’ll bet it get renewed
Anger Management may be at a 1.0 demo, but that still makes it one of the top cable comedies. Plus it is still the highest rated comedy on FX. Hell, a repeat of Anger Management did almost as well as a new episode of Wilfred. What happens is anyones guess.
Wow! 2.7 million people watched that practice game between USA and Dominican Republic! USA won by FREAKING 54 pts! Kobe, Lebron, Durant, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Love, Anthony Davis, James Harden, Russell Westbrook. Now imagine if Howard and Dwayne Wade were included. The rest of the world is in big trouble going against the U.S. But I still can’t believe near 3 million people watched the first excibition game
Curious to know what the ratings threshold set for Anger Management’s deal was. Seems like it’d be a huge risk to order 90 more episodes when episode 4 is already at a 1.0
@RJ
I think FX will wait a few more episodes before deciding to see if the ratings stabilise, should they continue to drop the shows dead, should they improve the shows alive.
A fair enough assessment there.
Yes, that is very good for Awkward. given the circumstances. Really good. Pretty good for Snooki & Jwoww too.
At this rate MTV will renew it’s whole Thursday line up.
