There's value in them, but probably not enough that can be amortized over a whole season (The Carrie Diaries, Community, Hannibal). This is why I think the possibility exists that...<br /><br /><b>ABC:</b> ...Nashville ends up going that route; it gets up there with a better 34/49 ratio, and could do even better if it had a more tonally compatible lead-in (hence my Bachelor/Nashville idea) but is it enough considering it's still ranked the lowest of the marginal dramas? Now that Paul Lee is reportedly safe for another season in charge, he may reach for Nashville like...<br /><br /><b>CBS:</b> ...The Good Wife continues to make the Eye impersonate Stretch Armstrong for a renewal. The Crazy Ones continues to be the lowest-ranked comedy that, in theory, could still earn a second season even though almost every possible external ranking (ending its season early, being bumped to 9:30) is against it. Perhaps if it were younger-skewing a la HIMYM it could stand a chance but it drops in 18-34+ much like...<br /><br /><b>NBC:</b> ...Growing Up Fisher, though TTPF points out why I think it may be renewed for a second season if About a Boy is picked up. They are essentially the same show minus the 0.3 separation in raw numbers, which may be the optic NBC eventually uses if they both fall in tandem and they only feel like they need one of the two. I still think NBC wants to be able to point at more than one sitcom whey they talk about the past two seasons, but that's a gut thing and not analytical. Meanwhile, Community continues to nip at both shows' heels for a 6th season unlike...<br /><br /><b>Fox:</b> ...Glee, which already has that commitment in place. Glee is an example of where I think the gender breakdown in 18-34 is in effect; Fox already has a nice roster of shows that skew male (the Animation Domination block) while its female-slanted shows are pretty much New Girl and The Mindy Project. It also explains why Almost Human feels like a dead show: there's no obvious skew either way and Fox already has "two" dramas that fit that bill in Bones and Sleepy Hollow/The Following. Were it not for other external factors this analogy could hold up - Glee is to Almost Human as...<br /><br /><b>The CW:</b> .. The Carrie Diaries is to Hart of Dixie. But, as Spot said, The CW is a network where rounding really distorts marginal-level shows. Even with rounding, though, I think there's a sense that TCD and HoD are essentially the same show which is why I wouldn't be surprised if there's a timeslot share between them next season. Also of note: there's an easy sense of what's a slam-duck (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Arrow, Supernatural), but at least unlike last season there's no real mega-bomb here or, at least, a schedule full of them (Emily Owens, MD; 90210; Cult). So that there's an actual race or two here based on actual merits instead of what's least-embarrassing is a big positive.<br /><br />(This stream of consciousness-esque was not as stream-y as I tried to make it look, but I'm surprised I got it to work, period.)Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-28609709129247961512014-03-24T16:43:38.151-04:002014-03-24T16:43:38.151-04:00Thank you!

I just have one request.
CBS'...Great read spot. <br />I just have one request.<br />CBS' top two comedies are TBBT and HIMYM, and there is a pretty big gap between them, but as you talked about in your earlier post, HIMYM skews younger and more 18-34 than the rest of the network.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-74483971905398315372014-03-24T14:19:41.155-04:002014-03-24T14:19:41.155-04:00This is way too much complicated.

It's as simple as look into average ratings, for example Fox:<br /><br />A: none not-animated<br />A- : Sleepy Hollow (frontloaded 2.61), New Girl (2.3 W18-34)<br />B: The Mindy Project (2.0 W18-34), Glee (1.9 W18-34), Bones (1.80 with some aired at Friday)<br />C: Almost Human (1.78 sans Ep 1), The Following (1.68 sans Ep 1)<br />D: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (1.52)<br />D- : Dads (1.39, all aired before DST)<br />F: Rake (1.04), Enlisted (0.70), Raising Hope (0.68)Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
