SNL Weekend Update Thursday (August 2017)

Zoo: After many low 0.5s and a few 0.6s, Zoo hit a new series low this past week. It hit a 0.4, well below anything it did last season, despite its huge timeslot upgrade. I've said in the latest editions of these posts, CBS is indeed having a rough Summer. However, that doesn't mean they'll spare any of the shows, and it certainly won't be the lowest rated flop. Zoo's down nearly 35% this year, and its final average will probably be somewhere around 0.5. CBS doesn't need this show. It's CERTAIN TO BE CANCELED.

Salvation: A fellow CBS Summer flop, Salvation dipped to a new low of 0.4 as well this week when CBS served up a science fiction double feature. It's still LIKELY TO BE CANCELED, but if it ties that low when airing directly after Big Brother, as Zoo has done, expect a downgrade for this sci-fi flop.

Stay tuned next week, as SNL Weekend Update Thursday joins the group, and every Tuesday after that for my Summer predictions.
