Syfy renews Haven and Warehouse 13

Syfy has renewed Warehouse 13, Syfy's highest rated show in 2010 for a third season of 13 episodes.  The show was Syfy's most watched in 2010, and was well received by critics.  It's main theme song was also nominated for an Emmy. 

Syfy's new 2010 summer show, Haven (based on the Colorado Kid by Stephen King), has been renewed for a second season, to shoot in Spring 2011 for a summer 2011 release (probably still using this year's lead in Eureka as it's lead-in again).  Haven held 82 % of its viewers from its Eureka lead-in, and doubled the Syfy Friday 10 pm ratings average.

Raising Hope Gets Full Season Order

Raising Hope on Fox has been performing well on Tuesday nights.  So well, in fact, that it is the # 2 new comedy for adults 18-34 (behind CBS's Mike & Molly) and the # 1 show for teens and young women.

This means that in addition to the 13 episodes that have already been ordered, they are ordering another 9 for a full 20 episode season.  This already dramatically increases the chances of the show getting renewed for another season (but of course it is too early to tell if any of the new shows are picked up for another season, especially with this years sluggish ratings).

NBC halts production on Outlaw

NBC has decided to halt production on its friday night drama, Outlaw, starring Jimmy Smits.  Fridays at 10 pm is not exactly prime real estate ofr any new TV show, so i can certainly see why it hasn't made much of a splash.  NBC hasn't yet cancelled it though, and the show has 5 more epsisodes to air while it monitors the ratings, but things don't look good for Outlaw, or for NBC right now. 

This is the first show of the 2010-2011 season to go on production hiatus, which is usually just a step from cancellation.

To make matters worse,NBC's Monday night lineup is doing pretty badly in the rating as well, a night which at one time they ruled.  Chase and the Event ratings are not what NBC was expecting, and even veteran show Chuck has slipped in the ratings the past few weeks.

NBC really needs to turn things around, especially after the 2009-2010 television season.

Fall TV Ratings - Sluggish TV Season

Fall TV Ratings

I think it's hard not to say after this TV Viewing season that TV Viewership is down, but it's also fairly obvious that most of the new TV shows have not found an audience.  The first two fall casualties have already been canceled after two episodes - FOX's Lone Star was the first, and ABC's My Generation was the second.

In addition, this week NBC's Chase dipped below a 1.7, which is extremely low for a (new) first season show.  NBC's The Event (whose advertising budget was larger than most returning series entire production budgets) lost 17% of its viewership this week as well, bringing it down to a 2.4. NBC's other big new premier, JJ Abrams Undercovers, dropped to a 1.6 for a 24% drop in its second week.

ABC's The Whole Truth is down 20% to a 1.2 putting it firmly in the cancellation zone as well.  Detroit 1-8-7 hasn't found an audience either, at a 2.1, and is likely to be canceled by the end of the season.

FOX's The Good Guys is likely to be the next to be canceled with a 0.7 rating, and is Running Wilde going to be far behind at a 2.3?

The CW is down across the board as well, so it's hard to see what shows will be canceled.  Life Unexpected is certainly going to be canceled with a .77 rating.  The rest are too close to call, but the CW will certainly need some work, as their rating are all quite low.

CBS is doing the best of all the network overall, with none of their shows in cancellation range yet.

That concludes the ratings report for the first two weeks of fall TV.

So far, it's not looking too promising for most of the new fall shows, although Mike and Molly, CBS' Monday comedy, is looking to be the most ppopular new fall show with a 3.9.
