The summer doldrums started as networks ran numerous specials and the beginnings of summer reruns last week. So wraps the 2016-2017 television season. Ratings Roundup will return in September.
The CW wrapped up most of their series' last week. The Flash led the superhero charge with Supergirl and Arrow a bit of a distant second. Reruns of Penn & Teller Fool Us managed to draw larger numbers than new episodes of Jane The Virgin, iZombie, and The 100; not good news for fans. While all three managed a renewal for Fall 2017, it's going to be harder for those productions to justify themselves to the networks next year.
