Is Your Favorite Show Already About To Be Cancelled?? Hercules Analyzes All The Autumn Data!!

I am – Hercules!!

 

Fox
(Adults 18-49; repeats in gray; earlier weeks in parentheses)
2.5 (2.8) (3.2) (---) (---) (---) Gotham
2.0 (3.9) (1.3) (1.3) (---) (0.6) The Simpsons
1.9 (4.5) (1.4) (---) (---) (1.0) Family Guy
1.7 (1.7) (2.0) (---) (---) (---) Sleepy Hollow
1.6 (1.5) (1.6) (---) (0.6) (0.6) Bones
1.6 (2.6) (---) (---) (---) (---) Brooklyn Nine-Nine
1.4 (---) (0.8) (0.6) (---) (0.4) Bob’s Burgers
1.4 (1.4) (1.3) (1.4) (1.5) (---) Hell’s Kitchen
1.4 (1.3) (1.3) (1.7) (---) (0.5) New Girl
1.0 (1.1) (1.0) (1.3) (---) (0.6) Mindy Project
1.0 (---) (---) (---) (---) (---) Mulaney
0.9 (1.2) (---) (---) (---) (---) Gracepoint
0.9 (1.1) (1.1) (1.3) (---) (---) Red Band Society
--- (0.8) (0.8) (1.0) (0.9) (---) Utopia (Tu)
0.6 (0.7) (0.5) (0.7) (---) (---) Utopia (Fr)

“Gotham” is now the brightest spot on Fox’s dismal schedule.

“Red Band Society,” “Mulaney” and “The Mindy Project” will probably not be around a whole lot longer.

It’s not a good year for “Dcctor Who” alumni, given how poorly “Gracepoint” and “Selfie” are doing. Since things are going so abysmally for Fox, it may air all 10 episodes of “Gracepoint” even if it may have to move the “Broadchurch” remake to Fridays. “Broadchurch” is already getting a second season, but there’s no way “Gracepoint” will be back next year.

One could argue the Tuesday edition of “Utopia” was the first cancellation of autumn.

NBC
(Adults 18-49; repeats in gray; earlier weeks in parentheses)
3.7 (4.0) (3.9) (---) (---) (---) The Voice (Mo)
2.6 (2.8) (3.4) (---) (---) (---) The Blacklist
2.5 (4.1) (4.1) (---) (---) (---) The Voice (Tu)
2.1 (2.3) (2.6) (---) (---) (---) Chicago Fire
1.9 (2.1) (0.9) (1.2) (0.9) (0.9) Saturday Night Live
1.7 (1.8) (2.2) (---) (---) (---) Law & Order SVU
1.5 (1.5) (1.9) (---) (---) (---) Chicago PD
1.3 (1.3) (---) (---) (---) (---) Bad Judge
1.3 (1.5) (1.5) (2.0) (---) (---) Mysteries of Laura
1.3 (1.3) (1.4) (---) (---) (---) Parenthood
1.2 (1.3) (1.3) (1.3) (1.6) (---) Biggest Loser
1.1 (1.4) (1.2) (1.2) (0.9) (0.9) Dateline
1.0 (1.2) (---) (---) (---) (---) A to Z

The terrible “A to Z,” from “Cars 2” screenwriter Ben Queen, is finished; it’s just barely keeping a spot warm for the final season of “Parks and Recreation.”

Typically, if a school-night Big Four show stays below a 1.3, it’s gone. Greg Berlanti’s “Mysteries of Laura” is likely to vanish if it loses any more altitude.

“Bad Judge” is now NBC’s top sitcom, improving on the audience left it by the flailing “Biggest Loser.”

ABC
(Adults 18-49; repeats in gray; earlier weeks in parentheses)
3.6 (3.7) (3.9) (1.4) (1.2) (1.1) Modern Family
3.3 (3.7) (0.8) (---) (---) (---) Once Upon A Time
3.1 (3.3) (3.9) (---) (---) (---) How To/Murder
3.0 (3.4) (3.9) (0.8) (---) (---) Scandal
2.9 (2.6) (3.3) (---) (---) (---) black-ish
2.4 (2.7) (3.1) (0.7) (---) (---) Grey’s Anatomy
2.3 (2.3) (2.4) (1.1) (1.0) (1.1) The Goldbergs
2.0 (2.2) (---) (1.0) (---) (---) Castle
2.0 (2.5) (0.7) (---) (---) (---) Resurrection
2.1 (2.0) (2.2) (1.1) (1.0) (---) The Middle
1.9 (1.8) (2.2) (2.4) (---) (---) Dancing/Stars (Mo)
1.9 (1.9) (1.1) (1.1) (0.9) (1.0) Shark Tank
1.7 (1.8) (2.1) (0.7) (---) (---) Agents of SHIELD
1.5 (1.6) (1.5) (0.7) (---) (---) Nashville
1.4 (1.5) (---) (---) (---) (---) Revenge
1.3 (1.4) (1.8) (---) (---) (---) Forever
1.3 (---) (0.7) (0.9) (---) (0.6) Last Man Standing
1.3 (1.6) (1.0) (0.9) (1.1) (0.9) 20/20
1.2 (1.6) (---) (---) (---) (---) Selfie
0.9 (1.5) (---) (---) (---) (---) Manhattan Love Story

“Manhattan Love Story” is pretty much exactly where the cancelled “Trophy Wife” was last season. “Selfie” and “Forever” also look pretty doomed.

“Agents of SHIELD” hit a new personal low last week but remains well north of the 1.3 danger line. Will we learn soon that Skye is Peter Quill’s sister? Is Coulson’s alien diagram a secret tie-in to summer blockbuster “Guardians of the Galaxy”?

CBS
(Adults 18-49; repeats in gray; earlier weeks in parentheses)
4.5 (4.8) (5.4) (1.3) (1.2) (1.2) Big Bang Theory
2.6 (2.6) (2.9) (---) (---) (1.4) NCIS
2.5 (3.1) (3.2) (---) (---) (---) Scorpion
2.5 (1.1) (3.5) (2.9) (1.1) (0.7) 60 Minutes
2.5 (2.4) (2.7) (---) (---) (---) Survivor
2.3 (2.7) (---) (1.0) (---) (1.0) Criminal Minds
2.3 (2.3) (2.5) (---) (---) (---) NCIS NO
1.7 (2.0) (---) (---) (---) (---) Stalker
1.6 (1.4) (2.0) (---) (---) (---) Madam Secretary
1.6 (1.9) (---) (---) (---) (---) NCIS LA
1.6 (1.8) (1.7) (0.8) (---) (---) Person of Interest
1.4 (1.3) (1.4) (---) (---) (---) The Good Wife
1.3 (1.3) (---) (---) (---) (---) CSI
1.3 (1.2) (0.7) (0.5) (0.6) (0.7) Hawaii Five-0
1.2 (1.1) (---) (---) (---) (---) Amazing Race
1.2 (1.2) (0.8) (0.6) (0.6) (0.6) Blue Bloods
0.8 (1.0) (0.6) (---) (0.6) (0.6) 48 Hours

Having to follow “The Good Wife” is killing the once-mighty “CSI,” which just hit its lowest rating ever two weeks in a row. The four shows below “CSI” are probably okay because CBS airs them on Friday and Saturday.

CW
(Adults 18-49; repeats in gray; earlier weeks in parentheses)
1.9 (---) (---) (---) (---) (---) The Flash
1.1 (---) (0.3) (0.3) (0.2) (0.2) Supernatural
1.0 (0.2) (---) (---) (---) (---) Arrow
0.8 (0.9) (0.2) (0.2) (0.3) (0.2) Vampire Diaries
0.7 (---) (---) (---) (---) (---) The Originals
0.4 (0.4) (---) (---) (---) (---) Reign

Yes, “Reign” has an even tinier audience than the other CW shows, but The CW renewed “Nikita” after it scored a long series of 0.2s.

And “The Flash” was The CW’s biggest premiere in five years, so it is going nowhere.

Cable
(Adults 18-49; repeats in gray; earlier weeks in parentheses)
3.1 (---) (---) (---) (---) (---) American Horror
2.3 (2.1) (2.2) (2.5) (3.2) (---) Sons Of Anarchy
1.2 (1.3) (1.4) (---) (---) (---) South Park
1.2 (1.4) (1.3) (1.3) (1.4) (1.3) WWE Monday
1.1 (1.0) (0.7) (0.9) (0.8) (0.9) Tosh.0
1.0 (0.9) (0.9) (0.8) (0.8) (---) Real Housewives NJ
1.0 (0.9) (1.1) (1.0) (0.9) (0.9) The Strain

These are the seven cable shows that scored a 1.0 or better in the key demo this week. Until AMC brings back “The Walking Dead” this weekend, FX is indisputably the non-broadcast champ, with three of cable’s top seven series: “American Horror Story,” “Sons of Anarchy” and “The Strain.” Comedy Central was in second place with “South Park” and “Tosh.0.”
