Last week was quiet in terms of ratings news. Four shows premiered, one more got good renewal news and several are still just playing out their remaining episodes.
ABC premiered The Toy Box to only OK numbers. Rumors abound that if Once Upon A Time gets a seventh season it will be after radical cast changes. Agents of SHIELD however, will not see another season at it's likely to be canceled.

CBS renewed Criminal Minds for a thirteenth season last week, not really a surprise as the show wasn't in any danger of cancellation, but fans can breathe easy for another year. Fans of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders however, may want to start chanting to the renewal gods, as the show has slipped in the ratings the last two weeks. Ransom and Training Day took the bottom spots for the network and both are as good as done, merely running out their remaining episodes.

NBC also had a new show last week; First Dates premiered to middling numbers. The UK-inspired reality series was nowhere near a popular as the Peacock's other reality shows, as The Voice continued to dominate the network ratings. The five Dick Wolfe series' all continued to rate well, and all of them should see renewal notices in the coming weeks. Fans of Powerless and The Blacklist: Redemption should enjoy what's left of these two shows, as both are likely canceled at the end of May.

Prison Break had a very healthy return for FOX last week, coming in right behind Empire for the week. FOX's other new series, You The Jury, did not fare nearly as well and it's numbers were not encouraging for any sort of continuation. Shots Fired held steady. APB, Making History, and Rosewood all ended another week with low numbers and chances for any of these shows getting renewed are low.

Legends of Tomorrow wrapped its season last week and won the week for TheCW as well. iZombie premiered to a mediocre number, but will probably get another season anyway as it's not to that magic cancel number of seventy episodes yet. The network may also be cringing a bit with that Riverdale renewal as the series sank again last week.
