Maintaining a daily ratings thread for this forum just isn't realistic.

Plus, we get a lot of different questions about where can I find this piece of information (ratings or whether or not my favorite show is coming back)

I figured this might be the best way to do it.


So, here are some frequently asked questions:


Q): Where can I find daily TV ratings news?

A): TVBythenumbers.com maintains daily ratings news.

A): CBS.com, NBC.com, ABC.com, CWTV.com, FOX.com, FXNetworks.com, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu/Hulu Plus, HBOGo, ShowtimeAnytime, Starzplay, Maxgo


Important thing to note: Netflix and Amazon don't carry TV shows that are airing in the current season with the exception of Under the dome and Extant on Prime. Both providers only carry catalog shows or stuff that is 1 season behind. Only Hulu Plus carries shows from ABC, NBC and FOX the day after it airs.

Thanks for putting this all together.

Thanks, DJariya!

If you're going to list Netflix subscription streaming, you could include Amazon Prime as well. Prime doesn't have day-after episodes, but neither does Netflix.

Thanks updated

Undateable on NBC was renewed for a 2nd season

Hit The Floor got renewed next year for a third season.

Yup, I saw that the other day. 10 episodes. It's not the kind of show that really fits the audience of this forum, so I don't mention it here. But, this new season has been so over the top crazy.

The show knows what it is as a trashy soap and doesn't pretend to have any higher aspirations, a refreshing change of pace in today's TV climate.

Welcome to Sweden was renewed for a 2nd season by NBC. But, it's was already renewed in Sweden, so NBC is just picking up the rights.

Black Box on ABC was cancelled.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...by-usa/292147/

Suits was renewed for a 5th season. This is pretty much USA's only hit show right now. Everything else is struggling.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...w-girl/292594/

New Girl just got a syndication deal with TBS and MTV. Since FOX owns this show, I expect them to keep it around a few more years now that they have this deal.

Rogue starring Thandie Newton on Directv got renewed for 2 seasons. 20 episodes total.

I just started on season 2 last week. It finished airing a few weeks ago. But I recorded all 10 episodes.

The Strain was renewed for a second season.

http://tvline.com/2014/08/13/switche...-4-abc-family/

Switched at Birth on ABC Family was renewed for a 4th season. Most likely 20-22 episodes.

http://deadline.com/2014/08/abc-fami...season-819042/

Twisted was cancelled after 1 season

Has there been a change in management at USA? They used to specialize in fun, breezy dramadies. Now it seems all their shows are either dark or feature smug characters. I haven't liked any of their new shows since Fairly Legal.

Great news. It's not perfect but I am enjoying it.

FX made it official today. The Strain was renewed.


http://deadline.com/2014/08/finding-...season-821653/

Also, Finding Carter on MTV was renewed

Partners is bombing huge. The 90 episode back order is unlikely.

Saint George was pretty bland from what I saw, but I watched part of the Partners pilot at someone's house the other day and it was horrendous. The numbers don't surprise me. I really only think this "back 90" experiment worked ratings-wise with Anger Management because of the public meltdown Charlie had leaving Two and a Half Men.

I noticed Rachel from Family Matters was playing Martin Lawrence's mom in Partners. I thought she and Lawrence were close to the same age. She doesn't look that much older than him.

Lost Girl is ending after season 5.

The star getting pregnant in the middle of a show's run wasn't a formula for success. Pardon the pun but it was a lost season.

It's a 16 episode season and being split into 2 parts. I know it's airing that way in Canada, but I don't know if they are doing that for SyFy.

I'm amazed that Lost Girl, which airs on the same network as Continuum in Canada is getting 5 seasons and a chance to end the show while the better written & better rated Continuum has been in limbo for the last few months.
