    The question is, if they do get 0.6 next sunday and for the remain of the season they get btw 0.7 and 0.8, how does that makes next season, where they won`t get half of the cast most viewers are used to seeing on the show?

    Even if S7 is really last season and they get half season, would be wise for ABc to renew a show that with the numbers of ratings they are having now, with 0.8/0.7 and possibly 0.6 demo, putting in risk the show,where they may even have to take it of air after some epis, bc the ratings may drop even more?Or should they simply start saying now that this is last Season?

    In my opinion, the smartest thing to do is to end the show this season. Based on interviews and the direction of the show, season 6 is basically the final season. Even if the show gets season 7, it will be a completely different show, so they basically start a “new show” with the disadvantage of starting it with ~0.8 demo ratings.

    They should just take their chances with new shows. abc even have the advantage of using popular franchises like Star Wars.

    I wonder if it would make financial sense to move OUAT to the Disney Channel. They’d have to retool it a bit — cut costs, tone down the sex and violence, do away with location shooting, and go to half-hour episodes — but they already have cast, costumes, and virtual and practical sets. Might be a way to keep the franchise going for several more years.

    It will move to Freeform before it moves to the Disney channel. Either channel I doubt the actors would want to stay on the show if it actually moved.

    Probably 0.6 next week.
    Then it’ll be 0.7-0.8 for the rest of the season.

    I think it could potentially boost for the musical episode because of the significance behind it, and the finale. However, ABC will likely announce a decision a few days before the finale airs. If they cancel it, how the finale does would be irrelevant. Especially if any boost the finale gets is from former regular viewers choosing to tune in just to see the ending. If they are going to cancel it, I would rather they go the Revenge route by announcing it a few weeks ahead of time rather than the Castle route, where it was literally announced just a few days before its finale aired.

    The preliminary unroundeds for ABC last night

    AF Home Videos ………………… 0.703 … (0.595 … 0.810)
    Once Upon a Time ……………… 0.717 … (0.763 … 0.671)
    Match Game ……………………… 0.691 … (0.641 … 0.740)
    American Crime …………………. 0.370 … (0.403 … 0.337)

    Not so sure OUAT will be able to adjust up to a 0.8 now.

    Yeah I’d say we have a new series low

    Ouch!

    I agree. It’s best all round to just end it this season.

    If they really want to do a Season 7, perhaps do a revival in 5 or so years time. I really think a long period of off-air time would be good for A&E. They had season 1 in mind for about 10 years which is why I think Season 1 was the best. They had so much time to plan and plot everything.

    Not surprising, given the quality of the previous episode.

    We stayed at a .7 for 6×16 which is now our new series low.

    Keeping an eye on other ABC low rated shows, Quantico got a .6 for its latest episode.
