Cable Renew/Cancel - TBS, Tru, & Comedy Central: Corporate Looking Better, I’m Sorry Looking Worse

It's time for an update to the TBS, TruTV and Comedy Central renew/cancel. We've seen one new series premiere since our last update, and my outlook on two of the previously-airing shows has changed. Keep reading for updates!

I'm Sorry: One of TruTV's few scripted comedies, I'm Sorry has had a strange trajectory for this season. It returned pretty heavily down with a 0.13, then completely fell apart by week 3 with a 0.07. It rose back up to a 0.12, making me slightly question my downgrade of it. However, I still think it's in enough danger to justify the downgrade. It's still a favorite for a renewal, but Tru has plenty of shows they could air that are likely less expensive and would rate the same, making things look murky. It now leans renewal.

Jon Glaser Loves Gear: Even considering that its lead-in isn't exactly lighting the world on fire, this series is really weak. It scored a 0.06 for its premiere, dropping to a 0.05 in weeks two and four and not even making the Top 150 in its third week. TruTV tolerates lower ratings, but as shown by the network's recent cancellations, there is a limit. Jon Glaser Loves Gear is a likely cancellation.

Corporate: It's still lower-rated than the rest of Comedy Central's lineup, but Corporate is still in better shape than it was after the premiere. It's held steady (and even rose) since the premiere, even as its Drunk History lead-in continues to dip. Its future is still unclear, considering that other shows were canceled with similar ratings, but it really isn't rating that poorly, and its retention has been solid lately. It's also rating very similarly to its own first season, so I'm bumping it up to leans renewal. 

The Other Two: It wasn't a great premiere for Comedy Central's newest series, but a renewal is still very much in the cards for it. Its premiere rating was still higher than Corporate, though it had a higher lead-in and will probably slip further due to it being a new series. However, Comedy Central has a tendency to give its freshmen comedies a second chance. That isn't always the case, but lower-rated series such as Corporate and Detroiters received second seasons even if the ratings weren't the best. The Other Two is starting out as leans renewal, but a downgrade may be in its near future if it falls hard.
