Wayward Pines: This show remained stable from episode 3 to episode 10, getting 0.7 every week. That makes it very difficult to predict. I wish it had dropped to 0.6 a couple of times so I could be more confident in my prediction, which is really a big guess right now. I am figuring that a show that consistently gets 0.7 is not good enough, even with the reduced cost of filming in Canada, as next season it will likely get plenty of 0.6s and maybe even lower. I don't think that FOX wants that.
The Night Shift: One of the two shows looking to make it out of this summer alive, The Night Shift still must wait before it is certain to be renewed, if it ever is. This week's rating of 1.0 was disappointing following America's Got Talent, even though AGT had lower than usual ratings Wednesday night. Still, that shouldn't be a problem for it to be renewed, but it doesn't make a convincing case to be upgraded this week.
BrainDead: Upon moving to Sunday night, BrainDead hit another low. This low of 0.3 is lower than anything that Houdini & Doyle or Aquarius has gotten this season, and lower than Mistresses scored on July 4th. It is even more certain to be canceled now, as I wonder how long until it is moved to Saturday or completely pulled from the schedule.
