I like reading the website TVByTheNumbers (zaptoit.com) as they pull together some of the hits and duds each week to see how they’re doing based on ratings and whether networks are likely to keep them. They adjust for things like demographics, whether the network owns the show or it’s produced outside the fold, etc. It’s a fun read, and their prediction rate isn’t bad. Mostly I just like to check in from time to time for my shows and see how they’re doing…

ABC:

• Blood and Oil — The “Dallas” remake, more or less, it held no interest for me and is on fumes;
• Wicked City — The premiere was last week, this is the 1982 serial killer show, pretty low on predictions but only just started, hard to tell;
• Nashville — Why is this show still on?
• Castle — I watch, but I’m not sure why anymore. They should have had a better ending for last season, bigger, badder, etc., and just ended it instead of separating Castle and Beckett this year for ridiculous reasons;
• Last Man Standing — Haven’t watched since the beginning, let it die;
• Muppets — I had initially hoped this would be kid-friendly, but most of the pilot was more for adults, more so than the previous version, fine to let it die;

CBS:

• CSI: Cyber — this should have died the first week;
• Hawaii Five-O — this should have died two years ago;
• Code Black — St. Elsewhere with updated DRAMA! ACTION! ROMANCE!…yawn;
• The Good Wife — has probably run its course, don’t have strong views, it never hooked me;
• NCIS: LA — I was watching regularly, but lately, it is definitely third on my list of NCIS shows, and happy to see it go;
• Madam Secretary — yawn, never hooked me, fine to see it die;

CW:

• Crazy Ex-Girlfriend — I can’t figure out how this was greenlit…confused mess;
• Reign — never watched it;
• iZombie — haven’t watched it through an episode, but some friends like it, no real view on this one;

FOX:

• Minority Report — I think there’s a show buried in there somewhere, not sure where, but won’t be surprised to see it die;
• Sleepy Hollow — I would miss this one…it’s like X-Files with things actually appearing rather than just hinted at;
• The Grinder — Rob Lowe, yes…this show, hell no;
• Grandfathered — premise bored me before I finished reading it;
• Bones — I should love this show, as I like procedurals, I like the stars, I like forensics…but I don’t, the chemistry was never, and I mean NEVER, there for me;
• The Last Man on Earth — no interest;

NBC:

• Truth Be Told — no interest in this from the beginning;
• The Player — each week, save the victim…there have been a lot of these action shows in recent years, and if there was no secret identity, super power, or cape, they`ve all failed…this one is no better or worse then most of them, and Wesley Snipes isn’t enough to save it;
• The Mysteries of Laura — I have no idea how this one survived the pilot;
• Undateable — I don`t know where this show went, it started off with “let the dating guru give lessons to the nerds” and it was great, funny, watchable…then it became, let the nerd reclaim the gigolo, and the show tanked…now it’s *gasp* live (!)…or not;
• Heroes Reborn — I hope this one grows legs (and not in the evil grow-your-own-clone way), as I’m actually enjoying it again. Save the past, save the future isn’t as compelling as save the cheerleader, but they also haven’t introduced a really bad super villain yet (honestly, Erika is a bureaucratic joke);

The rest of the big shows that I watch are likely to be renewed. And if I had the power to save a show of the 8 that I actually watch, it would be Heroes Reborn, with The Player and Sleepy Hollow fighting it out for a distant second place.
