Final ratings for “Swan Song” are in. A 1.3 demo and 4.56 total viewers. Demo matches last week, but the total viewers are a little higher. Had a feeling. That 1.1 we saw in the 9pm half hour slot was more likely the result of Blood & Oil’s first 15 minutes factored in.

And now we wait and see how we return in the spring. I’d say we’ll go up, but I don’t think it’ll be by much. 1.5?

As you can see, overall we only dropped -.4 from start to finish. That’s actually pretty good for a drama show; for example “Empire” is probably the biggest network drama on TV right now. This season it started at a 6.7 and ended with a 4.5, which is a loss of -2.2. Obviously a much larger drop, but still very high because it started so high. Dropping -.4 would be more acceptable if we had started so high, but it’s worth mentioning that OUAT didn’t drop right off the bat; it took a full 10/11 episodes to drop to the low. It falls over a longer period of time which means for 5B–if that trend continues–the numbers will only be lowest at the end (AKA: we’re getting renewed).

Though I do highly think Season 6 could definitely be the last Season, based on the ratings trend. We’re only .3 away from a 1.0. We’re likely to drop a little again in 5B. Going under a 1.0 is normally in danger of cancellation territory, unless it’s a CW show. I mean yeah it also depends on how other TV shows do by comparison, but I’m leaning more pessimistic. My main concern is whether the final Season is planned as so, or not. The show would certainly benefit if it was planned in advanced, because then Adam and Eddy can wrap up as much of the story as they desire.
I wonder if they have two endings for 522—one where they get renewed; and one where they don’t. Just in case.

impact of streaming on broad cast TV shows

.Old news that I found that’s relative to our show. FOX is airing another live musical as early as Sunday, March 20th. It’s called “The Passion”, and it will be hosted and narrated by Tyler Perry. Who knows what effect it will have on OUAT’s ratings that week, but I figured it was something to keep in mind. It would be on OUAT’s 3rd week back:

^ Interesting. Remember a few years ago when the History Channel did that huge “Bible” saga and it got *huge mind melting* ratings? It might not do as well as that but I think it’s gonna serve us a blow.

Considering how well Grease Live did last night, ratings wise, the fact that this is FOX’s next live musical will drive a lot of interest alone. I don’t expect it to do as well as Grease, since this is something new rather than a classic musical already engraved in pop culture, but I think plenty will still tune in. Based on how the scheduling should work, OUAT will likely have to air an episode on Easter Sunday this year, the very week after. That could equal two weeks in a row of the show taking noticeable blows. 514 and 515 would be the episodes under effect, for the record.
