Primetime Ratings, Monday, 6/16/14

 

 

FOX won Monday in all measures.

'MasterChef' continued its recent yo-yo pattern, rising two tenths to a 1.8. '24: Live Another Day' is still seemingly on shaky ground, falling another two tenths to a 1.4, and setting another new season low. ABC's 'The Bachelorette' dropped one tenth to a 1.7. 'Mistresses' rose a single tenth to a 1.0, and may yet squeak out another renewal.

NBC's 'American Ninja Warrior' kept up its recent downward trend, dropping a tenth to a 1.6, a new season low for the reality competition series. '48 Hours' dipped a tenth to a 0.8 for CBS. The CW's 'Whose Line Is It Anyway' just can't seem to maintain momentum, dipping a tenth of its own to a 0.5. 'Beauty and the Beast' matched its seemingly constant 0.3.

PRIMETIME PROGNOSTICATION - Summer Edition

The five main factors I consider when making a prediction are thus:

1. Does the show win its timeslot, and how often? (CW shows are exempt from this criteria.)

2. How do the show's ratings compare to similar programs on the same network? (Self explanatory.)

3. How long has the show been on the air? (Veteran series are always more likely to get renewed.)

4. Does the show have any high-profile leads? (Never discount star power.)

5. How much does the show cost to make? (Approximately, exact TV budgets are hard to come by.)
