CW Renew/Cancel Part 1: All American’s Ratings Are All Right, but the End Is Nigh

Welcome to the all-new CW Renew/Cancel! There has been massive shakeups at the network since our last column in May of 2023, with the new owners completely reshaping what the CW is what what it airs. The network is now home to a heavily-unscripted slate, with nearly all of its scripted programs being acquired programs from Canada and the UK. However, some originals do remain, as do several co-productions. For this renew/cancel, we're only predicting CW originals like All American and Walker, as well as international shows that CW has a hand in producing, like Wild Cards and Son of a Critch. These are shows that, while other networks hold much of the power for determining renewals, CW has at least some stake in them and will have a sway in the decisions. This means fully acquired shows, like Children Ruin Everything, Family Law, and The Conners will not appear in this chart, though you can still get predictions for The Conners in our ABC Renew/Cancel.

Friday TV Ratings 12/8/23: Norman Lear Special Low, Shark Tank Rises After Break, WWE SmackDown Also Up (UPDATED w/Analysis)


Ratings Analysis: CBS honored legendary sitcom producer Norman Lear with the special Norman Lear: A Life on Television (0.21), but its performance in the Adults 18-49 demographic left much to be desired. Raid the Cage (0.20, -0.04) declined in the 9 p.m. time slot and was followed by the usual Blue Bloods rerun (0.17). Fox's WWE Smackdown (0.63, +0.04) grew a bit and returned to its position as Friday night champion. Shark Tank (0.36, +0.02) and 20/20 (0.33, +0.07) were both up on ABC after taking a few weeks off. NBC's broadcast of 2017 film Despicable Me 3 (0.19) did not impress and dragged down Dateline (0.21, -0.06). FBoy Island (0.04, 0.00) held flat for its CW finale, but Penn & Teller (0.07, -0.01) shed a hundredth. 

Finals Update: Shark Tank (+0.1) adjusted up.

Friday TV Ratings 12/1/23: Pac-12 Championship College Football Game Dominates, The Wall Slides, WWE SmackDown Below Most Recent Fox Airing (UPDATED w/Analysis)


Ratings Analysis: The Pac-12 Championship game (2.33) dominated in the Adults 18-49 demographic and led ABC to a rare Friday-night victory. Fox's WWE Smackdown (0.59, -0.03) seemed rather meek in comparison as it is usually tops the night with ease. Raid the Cage (0.24, +0.05) climbed higher on CBS but still trailed the rerun of The Price Is Right At Night (0.30) that aired before it. An encore of Blue Bloods (0.18) held down the 10 p.m. hour. NBC's The Wall (0.18) underwhelmed in the 8 p.m. slot, but Dateline (0.27, -0.02) built on it from there. Penn & Teller: Fool Us (0.08, 0.00) and FBoy Island (0.04, 0.00) were stable on the CW.

Ratings Analysis: Fox's broadcast of the Oregon State v. Oregon college football game (0.99) easily topped the night and was just a hundredth away from the elusive 1.00. In the 8 p.m. hour, BMW Ultimate Update (0.36) placed third in its time slot. ABC put up quite a fight with its Texas Tech v. Texas game (0.83) but fell short of Fox's. NBC had a solid Penn State v. Michigan State game (0.61) but was below the other college football broadcasts. On CBS, The Greatest @Home Videos (0.21) appeared to underwhelm but was on-par with its last episode from June (0.21). Reruns of Raid the Cage (0.16) and Blue Bloods (0.16) followed. Over on the CW, Christmas special Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer (0.08) was actually up from 2022's broadcast (0.06).
