0.7 (0.9) (0.9) (1.5) (---) Manhattan Love Story
“Manhattan Love Story” was cancelled on Friday. “Selfie” and “Forever” seem certain to follow.
Generally speaking, for The Big Four to drop a “school night” (Sunday through Thursday) show, that show has to stay below a 1.4 rating in adults 18-49.

0.9 (1.0) (1.0) (1.2) (---) A to Z
“A to Z” should be first to go at NBC, with “Bad Judge” not far behind. “Parenthood” began the season a dead show walking; it was cancelled last May.

0.8 (0.8) (0.9) (1.2) (---) Gracepoint
0.7 (0.7) (0.6) (0.7) (0.5) Utopia
"Mulaney" has already been ordered to cease production a few episodes short of its initial order, but everything below “New Girl” looks very vulnerable to me. Except maybe “Utopia,” which is a Friday reality show and a big hit overseas. Fox needs a new unscripted franchise and its ratings are already showing signs of holding up better than “Enlisted” and “Raising Hope” did on that night.

1.2 (1.3) (2.5) (1.1) (3.5) 60 Minutes
For the first time in “CSI’s” long history, CBS cut its episode order. Sunday nights killed “CSI Miami.” If CBS wants to kill a show, it puts it on after “The Good Wife.”
The CW

1.5 (1.7) (1.9) (---) (---) The Flash

0.5 (---) (---) (---) (---) The 100
0.5 (0.4) (0.4) (0.4) (---) Reign
The CW renewed “Nikita” with a string of 0.2s, so none of the CW shows seem to be in danger. Both freshman series – “The Flash” and “Jane The Virgin” – just got full first-season orders.
