To Tell the Truth: While it isn't doing huge numbers, TTTT is doing quite well in a toxic timeslot. With a 0.8 average thus far, the show has improved on what Fall occupant Ten Days In the Valley has done, and is in-line with the performance of Deception, despite a much lower lead-in. It's also retained a decent percentage of its Pyramid, and it managed to hold steady this week despite the first two hours of the Fun & Games lineup sinking. That's pretty impressive, and the show's a CERTAIN RENEWAL.
48 Hours: NCIS: This CBS filler series was a flop from the start, and it's anyone's guess as to why it was renewed for a second season. It rates lower than the Tuesday procedural repeats, despite its ties to two well-known CBS franchises. Because it was low-rated in season one, I really can't count this one out, especially considering CBS's bad luck recently in the summer. And hey, at least it's steady. Not that steady at 0.5s is really a good thing. I don't think it's coming back though, and it currently LEANS CANCELATION.
The Proposal: With a 0.8 premiere, the new ABC post-Bachelorette show isn't off to a great start. The series enjoyed a large and incredibly compatible lead-in, and it really didn't capitalize on it. This is clearly better than last year's scripted attempt, Still Star-Crossed, but it still isn't a very viable option considering that, being a new series that's subject to sampling, it's likely to fall in the coming weeks. We'll see how far it falls and if it settles around renewable territory, but for now I just can't see it coming back. I'll re-assess next week, but it LEANS CANCELATION for now.
So You Think You Can Dance: Even though it doesn't enjoy very high ratings, this long-running Summer staple just keeps chugging along. This season, it's not even doing that badly. It'll probably end up being Fox's #1 show this week, tying or beating out newer, younger shows like The Four and Beat Shazam. And it's holding up very nicely year-to-year, which is much easier said than done. It's not a hit by any means, but SYTYCD will probably get at least one more dance. It LEANS RENEWAL.
