Season 6: Ratings News and Discussion

[RumplesGirl]

SpoilerTV has their own cancellation prediction and currently has OUAT at a very strong “In Danger”

[MatthewPaul]

“In Danger” for SpoilerTV seems to translate to their version of “Tossup”, which is in line with similar predictions made by the Reaper and Cancellation Bear.

Not directly related to OUAT, but there are talks that the WGA is considering a writers strike:

WGA Strike Vote Could Be “Very Soon” As Talks Continue

WGA Negotiators Call For Strike-Authorization Vote – Read The Letter

If a strike were to happen, not only would this be bad for OUAT, but for all scripted shows. I think the networks will have to do whatever they can to prevent a strike from happening. Otherwise they could be left with no scripted shows to schedule for the Fall during May Upfronts. I think this would be even worse than the 2007 WGA strike, because that occurred in November, which mainly resulted in scripted shows having their orders cut. So for that reason, I don’t think a strike will occur.

Anyone want to guess the ratings for 6×14 “Page 23” ?

I think we will maintain our .8

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

[MatthewPaul]

I think we will likely also stay at a 0.8, but those half hours last week make me not want to rule out a drop to a 0.7. However, the final showdown between Regina and the Evil Queen could attract people.

Agreed. I think the next few weeks are going to be pretty interesting rating wise. Easter is already a “special” week but I’m curious to see where our floor is.

Right now OUAT has the slight edge over Quantico, The Catch, and AoS ratings wise. However, it wouldn’t need to drop by much to match them. In fact, if OUAT got a 0.7 tonight, it’d match what Quantico and The Catch recently got. If all of their floors end up being around the same within the coming weeks, that could decrease OUAT’s renewal chances. I think ABC would be bias towards Quantico and The Catch over OUAT, if they were left to give any of them pity renewals.

Ratings are in for episode 6×14 “Page 23”

Demo: 0.9

Eyeballs: 2.95 million

That is an increase of .1 in our demo from last week.

It’ll drop in next weeks guest star centric. I hope it doesn’t, but we shall see.

[RumplesGirl]

I think the half hours were .9 across both halves so I think we might actually maintain that next week unless people were super turned off by “Page 23.” The next drop might come at episode 16 but not 15.
