’Great News’ Canceled After Two Seasons

Photo: NBC

NBC has decided to cancel Great News after two seasons. The sitcom took place in the world of television news and starred Briga Heelan and Andrea Martin. The second season of the comedy averaged a meager 0.73 in the Adults 18-49 demographic. The finale garnered an abysmal 0.5 rating. The series was down about 7% from its season one average. Great News was created by Tracey Wigfield and Tina Fey was an executive producer on the show. Check out all of our Great News reviews here. This was a correct prediction by the TV Ratings Guide.

Thursday TV Ratings, 1/18/18: Grey’s Anatomy Returns Way Up, Will & Grace Rebounds A Little

The start of 2018 was very kind to Grey’s Anatomy, which saw a huge uptick from its fall finale, and also decent bounce for Scandal. Not much changed for How to Get Away with Murder, which finished in a tie with its competitors at 10pm while losing to both in total viewers.

There was more of the same tonight for CBS, with Young Sheldon still retaining a good amount of The Big Bang Theory’s audience and 9-11pm also looking healthy. Mom beat Will & Grace yet again, although the latter did manage to gain a couple tenths back from last week’s low. Great News also saw its highest-rated episode in months.

On FOX, The Four is still doing potent and is a time slot improvement over almost everything they’ve aired recently on the night in the post-American Idol world. Clearly there is a stable audience for it.

The CW returned Supernatural and Arrow last night to rather typical results.
