Marlon: While the show has a really strong lead-in that's consistently at 2.0, its still easily the #2 scripted series of the Summer, only behind Weekend Update. While 1.1 is only so-so when you consider the lead-in that this show has, it's still likely a good enough number for it to get a renewal, especially since it's an in-house production. Marlon is a LIKELY RENEWAL
Midnight, Texas: After a strong 0.9, this show dipped back down to 0.7. That's not a great number, and I really don't need to tell you that. However, the show's still doing OK, and it's owned by the network. The real test for it is next week, when it airs in an unusual timeslot with a 1.0-ish lead-in. If it absolutely collapses, it could be the end for this Texas-set fantasy series. For now, it very slightly LEANS RENEWAL
Even though Summer is winding down quickly, I'll be back again next week for another edition of the Renew/Cancel, and the Tuesday after that for my final Summer predictions.
What do you think of my predictions? Let me know in the comments below.
