ABC 2019-20 Renew/Cancel Wrap-Up: A Look at the Hits and Misses

ABC has finally decided the fates of all of their in-season scripted programs, with the last of their decisions being handed down on June 15. It's time for me to take a look at what I got right, what I got wrong, and look back at the ABC season that was. Below is my full chart of predictions for the season, with every show placed exactly where I last left them before their fates were decided.

The Baker and the Beauty Canceled

The latest scripted series from ABC, The Baker and the Beauty, has been canceled after one season. The comedy-drama series launched to modest ratings in April, though it had little support from a weak Listen To Your Heart lead-in. It stayed steady in the following weeks and wasn't rating much differently from the rest of ABC's new dramas this season, averaging 0.47. Its ownership by Universal Television likely worked against it with ratings so similar to shows fully owned by ABC. Nathalie Kelley, Victor Rasuk, Dan Bucatinsky, David Del Rio, and Lisa Vidal star in the series, developed by Dean Georgaris (who also created Bluff City Law) and based on the Israeli series Beauty and the Baker. This was a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Monday TV Ratings 6/1/20: The Baker and the Beauty Rises on Finale Night, The Wall Rises on New Night (UPDATED)

It was another night with protests over the murder of George Floyd, and another night of local news preemptions. Those preemptions will likely cause shows to unilaterally adjust down.

At least in the prelims, The Baker and the Beauty saw a nice rise from its last episode, up two tenths for its episode at 9 and one at 10 for 0.6/0.5 hours. That 0.6 would be a series high if it somehow was able to hold. It was bolstered by a Celebrity Family Feud repeat at 0.8.

NBC saw notable gains as well, with The Titan Games up a tenth at 8 to 0.8. The Wall moved from a disastrous Sunday run to Monday, and it held onto 100% of Titan Games in the prelims with 0.8, up a staggering five-tenths from the last Sunday episode and up six tenths from its Sunday low. Songland saw a bump to 0.6 at 10.

The CW had a special on TLC at a too-good-to-be-true 0.3, followed by a 0.2 from Roswell, New Mexico. If they can avoid both adjusting down to 0.1, the network will be up a bit from last week.

CBS had repeats at 0.6/0.5/0.4/0.4, up at least a tenth in every slot.

Fox had 9-1-1 franchise encores at 0.6/0.5, up two tenths apiece.

Finals Update: The Wall (-0.1), Songland (-0.1), Iconic: TLC (-0.2) and Roswell, New Mexico (-0.1) adjusted down.
