Season 5: Ratings News and Discussion

[kranen]

The final adjusted ratings are in for ‘Last Rites’. We adjusted down.

So the ratings are:

Demo: 1.1

Eyeballs: 3.75 Million.

I expect that we’ll go back up to a 1.2 for the finale this coming Sunday though.

ABC Upfront News

–Castle, Muppets, Nashville, Galavant, Agent Carter, The Family, cancelled.

With those cancellations, it seems more likely that OUAT S6 will be a full 22 or 23 episodes.

Here’s some food for thought, on where OUAT may stand next Season. I’ll do an update, once all of the ABC finales have aired:

New Dramas
– “Conviction”
– “Designated Survivor”
– “Notorious”
– “Still Star-Crossed”
– “Time After Time”

New Comedies
– “Downward Dog”
– “Imaginary Mary”
– “Untitled Sarah Dunn Project”

Returning Dramas
– “Grey’s Anatomy” (Season 13) (Latest rating: 2.0)
– “Secrets and Lies” (Season 2. ABC confirmed they benched it for this Fall, apparently) (Latest Rating: 1.8, but keep in mind that was a year ago)
– “Scandal” (Season 6) (Latest rating: 1.5)
– “How To Get Away With Murder” (Season 3. Won’t have enough episodes for a guaranteed 4th Season renewal) (Latest rating: 1.4)
– “Once Upon a Time” (Season 6) (Latest rating: 1.1)
– “The Catch” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Quantico” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “American Crime” (Season 3. Won’t have enough episodes for a guaranteed 4th Season renewal) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” (Season 4) (Latest rating: 0.9)

Returning Comedies
– “Modern Family” (Season 8) (Latest rating: 2.1)
– “The Goldbergs” (Season 4) (Latest rating: 1.9)
– “The Middle” (Season 8) (Latest rating: 1.6)
– “black-ish” (Season 3. Will have enough episodes to guaranteed a 4th Season renewal) (Latest rating: 1.5)
– “The Real O’Neals” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Fresh Off The Boat” (Season 3. Should have enough episodes to guaranteed a 4th Season renewal)(Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Dr. Ken” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)

Overall rankings

– “Modern Family” (Season 8) (Latest rating: 2.1)
– “Grey’s Anatomy” (Season 13) (Latest rating: 2.0)
– “The Goldbergs” (Season 4) (Latest rating: 1.9)
– “Secrets and Lies” (Season 2) (Latest Rating: 1.8, but that was a year ago)
– “The Middle” (Season 8) (Latest rating: 1.6)
– “Scandal” (Season 6) (Latest rating: 1.5)
– “black-ish” (Season 3. Will have enough episodes to guaranteed a 4th Season renewal) (Latest rating: 1.5)
– “How To Get Away With Murder” (Season 3. Won’t have enough episodes for a guaranteed 4th Season renewal) (Latest rating: 1.4)
– “Once Upon a Time” (Season 6) (Latest rating: 1.1)
– “The Catch” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Quantico” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “American Crime” (Season 3. Won’t have enough episodes for a guaranteed 4th Season renewal) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” (Season 4) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “The Real O’Neals” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Fresh Off The Boat” (Season 3. Should have enough episodes to guarantee a 4th Season renewal)(Latest rating: 0.9)
– “Dr. Ken” (Season 2) (Latest rating: 0.9)

As you can see, OUAT still ranks the highest rated out of the non-Shonda dramas for this Season. You can’t really count Secrets and Lies, when it’s been off the air for over a year now. If you rank all of the dramas and comedies together, then OUAT is somewhere in the middle. This is before you factor in all of those new shows. So it’s not just how OUAT continues to do compared to the veterans, but how it’ll do compared to the newbies.

Thanks for this. History has taught us especially on ABC that their new shows don’t perform as well. Especially there dramas this season have been pretty terribly rated.

New Dramas – “Conviction” – “Designated Survivor” – “Notorious” – “Still Star-Crossed” – “Time After Time”

It’s really hard to say how these new dramas will fair without their first airings obviously, but already “Conviction” is getting a lot of buzz (mostly due to Haley Atwell); and “Still Star-Crossed” is another Shonda show and those historically get a second season even with less than stellar ratings (The Catch, for instance). There’s only been one Shonda show I can think of that didn’t and that was *years* ago before she basically owned most of ABC.

Another factor to take into consideration when thinking ahead is that ABC just axed two vet shows at once–Castle and Nashville. You don’t wanna lose too many vet shows all at once and now, with Castle and Nashville gone, you’re looking at vet shows being “Greys” “Scandal” and “OUAT.” Two of those are Shonda show and are more highly demo’d than OUAT. Greys will be on until the end of time and Scandal has further to fall than us; in other words, S6 ratings will need to be watched very closely.

However the other factor that comes into play is Sunday. It’s such (omgosh SUCH) a tricky night that until ABC feels confident that it has another Sunday 8pm (read: family hour) show that can hold its weight for awhile, it will consider OUAT a low rated, but ultimately steady with a loyal fanbase, show.

I know it’s an hour before showtime but…anyone wanna predict?

I’m going with a 1.2 overall. Finales for OUAT historically never fall so I think we’ll hold on to the steady 1.1/1.2 we’ve been getting.
