Hey guys, this is Luke, and it's time for my return to the TV Ratings Guide! For my first post of the 2016-17 season, I will be acting as your social media correspondent. The number of "likes" a show has on Facebook isn't always directly related to how successful that new show will become in the fall. However, it is definitely a good indicator of how much "hype" a new show has, which can sometimes make it easier to predict a show's success. Here is a list of new shows, ranked by their number of Facebook likes.
This post will be updated every Wednesday.
