ANALYSIS

Game of Silence premiered to a 1.4 rating on Tuesday following a two-hour edition of The Voice. This modest rating showed a small amount of life in the show, but it quickly faltered when it dropped down to a 0.8 rating in its normal timeslot (Thursdays at 10/9c). NBC already has too many renewed dramas for this show to even be considered for renewal now, so it is immediately starting out as "certain to be canceled."

I have also moved Crowded from "certain" to "likely to be canceled." It had two mediocre airings this past Sunday (1.2, 1.0), so I have decided that there is still a small chance it could be renewed. Don't put your money on it, though.
