No Friday or Saturday numbers

FOX announced another renewal last week. Alert: Missing Persons Unit was renewed. Interestingly, The Cleaning Lady was a late renewal and will be back next season. HouseBroken was cancelled after two seasons. The show had a brief stint in the fall lineup thanks to the strikes but never garnered much of an audience. In a big blow to FOX, WWE Friday Night Smackdown will be moving back to USA network next season. Smackdown was a consistent ratings winner for the network, and it filled a lot of schedule time. It will be interesting to see what the network uses to fill the Friday night block next season.

What numbers are you referring to? The ratings numbers? Those are the final overnights. They are the closest numbers civilians can get in terms of what the networks and advertisers look at to decide if a show is worth keeping around*. PR machines can hype the 7day, 30 day and streaming minutes all they like, but advertisers only care about the numbers most likely to have eyeballs on the adverts.
Networks and advertisers work off of something called the C3 numbers (commercial 3 day)Those measure viewer numbers for the adverts, not the programs, which is what the advertisers are interested in. Remember, the shows are the carrot to get you to watch the advertisements. The final overnights are pretty close to those C3 numbers.
I can't believe So Help Me Todd is being cancelled! My whole family loves that show ....and everyone I talk to about it loves it too. What's the chances these numbers are not accurate.
Other shows we are sorry to see that are gone or going to be:
The Good Doctor - Blue Bloods - Star Trek Discovery - The Resident - The Rookie Feds - Evil - Seal Team - Curb Your Enthusiasm.
