Fall 2011 TV Scorecard
Just thought I would give an update on the shows I said [I would be watching][prev-article] mid-last year, and how they are going so far.
[Let me know][contact] how you think these shows did, and if you think differently to how things are going below.
Boss: I predicted this one wouldn't last, and I've been proven wrong. Another 10 episodes for Season 2 of the show have already been ordered. This is a bit weird, as each episode only managed to pull in about half a million viewers on average.
Charlie's Angels: As I said in the original article, remakes don't always go well. Charlie's Angels managed to prove that, and was cancelled after only 4 episodes.
Grimm: Of the two Fairy Tale based TV Shows to air during this Fall TV season, Grimm seems to be doing okay. However, some weeks, the other fairy tale based show, Once Upon a Time, is pulling in almost double the number of viewers. However, this is one of ABC network's best new shows for this season.
Homeland: As to be expected, Showtime once again pulled a terrific storyline out of this show, and it ended up being one of the best rating Showtime shows. The story lends itself to a Season 2, but will Showtime?
How to Be a Gentleman: "Probably won't last". And it didn't.
I Hate My Teenage Daughter: It is rating well, but had a very long hiatus (December to March). I get the feeling this one will say around this year, but if it comes back, it could be questionable.
Last Man Standing: Last Man Standing has rated very well, and I'm sure this will be something that we see for at least the next 2 seasons.
Man Up: While the viewer numbers were okay, the target market was giving it a very low rating. This show was probably killed before it's time. But it's gone now, and it won't be coming back.
New Girl: Massive Hit. Will be around for next season.
Once Upon a Time: This is the show that has been beating Grimm in the ratings, and I think we are going to see it stay that way. Season 2 while unconfirmed, is a definite to happen.
Person of Interest: This is personally, one of my favourite shows of the 2011-2012 Fall Season. In the US, ther ehas not been an epsideo which has pulled in less than 11 Million viewers, with the average in the 13 Million mark. This show isn't going to die, unless they change the storyline.
The Playboy Club: This may have been the most hyped show of the Fall Season, but it was the first show to fall. Only 3 episodes were shown before the plug was pulled, and that was probably 3 too many.
Prime Suspect: It's a UK Drama, that was converted for the US Market. and it failed. The show got off on a slow start, which made it hard for any audience to adapt to it, especially in the face of Shows that were on at the same slot. At least all the episodes got to be aired of this show.
Terra Nova: Terra Nova finished it's 13 episode run a few months ago, but yet there is no clue on whether there will be a Season 2. While it did have fairly decent ratings, there is some thoughts that it maybe wasn't as good as what could have been. If we see this next season, it could be a miracle. ** Update ** Strike that, it's been canned.
Unforgettable: Hey guess what, it has a love storyline! And it's with the two lead actors. So obvious that was going to be the case. But on the show itself, it seems to be doing okay on the ratings. Averaging about 10 million viewers, it should easily have a second season, but no word yet.
