*More Descriptions on the show’s performances

ABC

Dr. Ken – Green Card - The show has had modest ratings on Fridays after Veteran Series Last Man Standing.  ABC order the series a full season order of 22 episodes which potentially makes the show a sure bet for next season.

Quantico – Green Card - One the Breakout shows this fall! Quantico airs on Sundays at 10:00pm.  Its performance has improved from last year timeslot (Revenge’s final season). It also built viewers from ABC’s Blood and Oil (at 9:00 on Sundays).  The show has dipped a bit in SD and Live ratings, but the freshman series should be safe for another season due to higher numbers on the DVR + 7.

The Muppets – The show premiered with high ratings, but after episode 4, the show has drastically dropped in the ratings. The show is the lead-in series on Tuesdays but has struggled to attract viewers’ week to week.  Sophomore series Fresh off the Boat is paired with The Muppets is performing better.  Also The Muppets did not get any additional episodes and new freshman series The Real O'Neals will air Tuesdays Midseason after Fresh Off The Boat. So the chances of seeing The Muppets for another season is unlikely. 

Blood & Oil – One of ABC’s Lowest rated series this Fall, they also reduced the series episode orders from 13 to 10. It will be Cancelled!

Wicked City – Cancelled!

CBS

Limitless – Solid contender for CBS. It started strong once it premiered, but once NBC’s Chicago Fire return, the show started to dip a little.  It has been picked up of a full season order. So it has a green card for renewal.

Life in Pieces – Full season order. Has The Big Bang Theory as a lead-in. Has underperformed slightly with The Big Bang Theory but is one of CBS’s top rated shows this season. Green Card

Supergirl – At first, I started to put this show in the yellow-card, but CBS give the series 20 episodes for its first season. It had a special premiered night paired with The Big Bang Theory and performed well, however on its own, it has fallen drastically, but it is in no danger of being cancelled yet, so it gets a Green Card.

Code Black – Yellow Card. Has underperform slightly under CBS’s average ratings, but cancellation isn’t a certainly yet. It was given 18 episodes for its first season, so there is still hope that the show can be renewed, But the odds of it being renewed is a mile shot! 

FOX

Rosewood – Green card. FOX’s top new rated show and has 22 episodes of the season. FOX It’s not a hit show or anything and FOX only has one Hit show (Empire), but the show is doing better than the majority of the new and returning shows.

Grandfathered & The Grinder

FOX’s Tuesday Line up is woeful the ratings have been pulling rating’s below the network’s average week to week. Despite getting a 22 Episode order, Grandfathered and The Grinder are still in danger because their ratings extremely low. The only way these show will be renewed is if they improve once New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine return on Tuesdays in January.

  

Scream Queens – Underperformer and kind of a disappointment. Only given 15 episodes Yellow Card because there is still hope. FOX and creator Ryan Murphy still believe the show can get another season. Looking at the ratings it shouldn’t, but Murphy has had success with FOX, so there is hope that the show can return for another season.

Minority Report – Lowest rated show and episode order reduced from 13 to 10! Will be cancelled!

NBC

Blindspot – Top Rated new series and Renewed!

Chicago Med – After 3 episodes, the show is averaging a 2.00 rating above NBC’s average. Should be renewed with the other Chicago franchise series.  Green Card

Heroes: Reborn – Average performer, but isn’t doing well for the Network. Limited series, so it wasn’t going to get additional episodes. The only way this show will be renewed is if the other new series on NBC do worse than Reborn. Yellow Card

The Player – Low rated show. Order got cut from 13 to 9. Will be cancelled

Red Card

Truth Be Told - Low rated show. Order got cut from 13 to 10. Will be cancelled

Read Card

The CW

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend – CW’s lowest rated show, But not likely to be cancelled? Why? With the other networks, it’s usually obvious if a show will stick around for another season. But with The CW is different. Since the network is smaller than the others and is owned by two companies (CBS Corporations and Warner Brothers) it makes the prediction difficult! SO right now, Crazy-Ex gets a Yellow Card!
