All American: All American returned to a 0.3 in the A18-49 demo on Monday night after a timeslot change from Wednesday 9pm to Monday 8pm. It even skewed younger than its last season one episodes. The A18-34 rating for All American was also at a 0.3, compared to a 0.1 for the later episodes. This is good news for the show, which likely leads it in the middle of the CW pack. Because the average is now at 0.3, it does not seem bad. Don't expect All American to get canceled any time soon this season. All American is certain to be renewed. You can thank Netflix and local programming for getting it to its current series high.

Batwoman: Starting out as an 8pm show benefitted Batwoman ratings as it started at a 0.5 in the key demo. It was apparently heavily rounded, even as it grew in the half hours. It may likely fall in the ratings in the coming weeks, but I think this is not going to affect the show much. It will start as likely to be renewed.

Nancy Drew: The newest occupant of the Wednesday 9pm timeslot scored a 0.3, after a 0.4 from Riverdale. Historically adjusted, it did better than both Dynasty, Life Sentence, and to a small extent, All American. Considering this is a CBS produced show, the renewal ratings bar is lower than the WB shows. It easily clears that. Nancy Drew is likely to be renewed.

Dynasty: Like I said in the preseason post, Dynasty is in its third season. Regardless of ratings, third season shows get renewed for a fourth season. Dynasty is safe, even if it hits the coveted Blutarsky (0.0) this season. Dynasty is certain to be renewed.

Legacies: The show will have 20 episodes this season, to finish around the same time as Supernatural. It started at essentially the same premiere rating as season 1, which in today's ratings landscape is pretty good. Will it remain steady through the fall? I think it will. Legacies is likely to be renewed.

Charmed: The CW has not canceled a second season Friday bound show since The Carrie Diaries. Charmed is produced by CBS, which essentially makes ratings irrelevant. There's virtually no way Charmed is getting canceled this season, regardless of what Holly Marie Combs tweets about the show. I say, let the anti-fan bashing continue for another season. Charmed is likely to be renewed.
