TV Ratings Websites
Can anyone recommend a daily TV ratings website? I don't know what's going on with TV By The Numbers (https://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/), they barely update anything anymore. Thanks!

Showbuzz Daily
There is very little to no commentary on ratings on showbuzzdaily. Mostly just data, even more detailed than tvbythenumbers.
If you're into the combative type of "cancelbear" commentary, the former owners/pundits of tvbythenumbers moved on to https://tvgrimreaper.com and https://twitter.com/tvgrimreaper

The rise of Netflix and streaming, with their largely "hidden" viewing numbers, has made the ratings game largely opaque to outsiders. It's really only a concern for a few broadcast programs these days.

I like looking at the ratings but with everything going fractional and delayed on demand viewing, there is little point to reporting ratings. A 1 or 2 demo ratings is considered good now. It is really sad for some reason.

Re: TV Ratings Websites
10-15 years ago, Nielsen ratings were interesting to look at. Now, TV viewing has been overrun with streaming and delayed viewing that pretty much no one now watches anything live. What is considered a "hit" now would have gotten cancelled 10 years ago.
It's useless to look at to be honest so I don't see any point to seek out that information. It may have some use for the ad departments of the TV networks, but for the average joe, it's meaningless numbers now.

If one is still into tv show cancellation "dead pool" type parlor games, ratings are completely useless nowadays beyond the first season or so.
You will have to find other criteria for guessing which shows might be axed.
For example as a wild hypothetical guess, figure out which shows are "protected" by the tv network executives and see whether such shows are axed when these particular executives are fired. One recent cases might be to examine which CBS shows were protected by Les Moonves, which might no longer be "protected" after the regime change which ousted Moonves. Another recent case is the recent regime change at the top executive ranks at Disney, and whether any ABC executives will be ousted.
