NBC Renew/Cancel Week 6: Brooklyn Nine-Nine Is Sitting Pretty

It's the first NBC Renew/Cancel of 2019! Two shows have returned for new seasons since then, and some shows of interest are back to air the rest of their seasons. Stay tuned for initial predictions for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Blacklist, plus an update on Manifest and New Amsterdam.

Certain Cancellation:
I Feel Bad

Likely Cancellation: 
Blindspot

Leans Cancellation:

N/A

Leans Renewal: 
The Blacklist

Likely Renewal:
Manifest

Certain Renewal:

Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Chicago Fire
Chicago Med
Chicago PD
Law & Order: SVU
Saturday Night Live

This Is Us

Already Renewed:
Will & Grace
The Good Place
New Amsterdam

Already Canceled/Final Season:
Midnight, Texas

Coming Soon:
Good Girls
Abby's
The Village
AP Bio
The Enemy Within


Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The acquisition of this veteran comedy from Fox was one of NBC's biggest plays this Winter. Its placement on the Thursday lineup bumped Will & Grace to 9:30, and it's been doing pretty decently at 9. Even as its Titan Games lead-in continues to bleed viewers every single week, Brooklyn has more-or-less found a core audience at 0.9. So far, it's gone slightly above that 0.8 and slightly below it since week 2. Considering the state of NBC's comedy department, its ratings are more than acceptable. It's destined to drop once The 8 PM comedy block is reinstated and it has AP Bio as its lead-in, but no matter what, Brooklyn will be back. It's a CERTAIN RENEWAL.

The Blacklist: I was very conflicted about this one when it first premiered, but I've gotten more confident on its chances since then. While it really isn't making that much of a case for renewal, those 0.6s could be worse. Midnight, Texas certainly proved that. I find it hard to believe than NBC would cancel a long-running show that has meant as much to them as The Blacklist has, even if their schedule is packed. It starts out int he LEANS RENEWAL category.

Blindspot: While this show looked like a certain goner earlier in the season, it's been having some more respectable results in the recent months. I still wouldn't want to be Blindspot come May, but it has some fight left in it. 0.6s obviously aren't ideal, but they're acceptable numbers for Friday at this point, and it's not where I thought this show would be after the 0.4s early in the season. I still might end up downgrading it again as the season progresses, but for now, Blindspot is upgraded to a LIKELY CANCELLATION.

Midnight, Texas: This fantasy drama got the axe at the end of 2018, just ahead of its finale. I've had it marked as a certain cancellation since the premiere, and I don't know if there's anyone that didn't.

New Amsterdam: Since our last update, NBC ordered a second season of this freshman medical drama. I wasn't certain of it, but I was pretty sure that this would end up being the result. That's the third correct prediction out of three so far.

NBC Cancels Marlon and Midnight, Texas

A pair of second-season NBC Summer shows from 2017 are on their way out, the network has announced. Marlon and Midnight Texas (which made the move in-season this time around) won't be back for third seasons next year. While both were decent enough players in their first seasons, things went off the rails a bit for Marlon in season two (with a 0.6 average). Midnight, Texas completely fell apart and is currently averaging a 0.4. Both of these are correct predictions for the TV Ratings Guide,  which marked Marlon as "Leans Cancellation" and Midnight, Texas as a "Certain Cancellation." This makes Midnight, Texas the first in-season show of 2018-19 to be officially canceled.

NBC Renew/Cancel, Week 3: Blindspot Will be Put in the Rear-View Mirror

It's been a little while since our last NBC Renew/Cancel, but there's been a few Friday premieres on the Peacock Network recently, so it's time for an update! Stay tuned for initial predictions for Midnight, Texas and Blindspot, as well as predictions for the rest of NBC's lineup.

Blindspot: It hasn't been a strong show since season one, but Blindspot looks particularly awful this time around. It's down about 40% from last season despite being in the same timeslot. It already hit a new series low just two weeks into the season, and it didn't get any better in the next week. On top of that, it's now in its fourth season, which means it doesn't need any further episodes to make it to syndication. With WB being the show's producer and distributor, NBC really doesn't have any incentive to keep this low-rated veteran around for a fifth season. It's starting as a likely cancellation, but you could probably make an argument for an even lower placement.

Midnight, Texas: In a move that made absolutely no sense, NBC renewed this Summer series after a lengthy wait back in February, just to throw it in an undesirable Friday timeslot behind the struggling Blindspot. As expected, it did terrible with a 0.4, two tenths lower than its previous low of 0.6. While a show near syndication could survive on that in this low-priority slot, Midnight will have aired just 19 episodes by the conclusion of the second season, so syndication is far off for it. There's no real incentive for NBC to drag this one along any further, so it's starting out as a certain cancellation, which is certainly a... unique achievement.

I Feel Bad: I feel confused about where to place this show, but I do feel like its odds of returning are pretty low. With its recent 0.5s, the show is showing that it deserves to be yanked from the schedule more than it deserves a renewal. Still, previous NBC comedy renewals have been a bit questionable, so I'm just not sure this one's completely out of the game just yet. It really should be downgraded, but this isn't the time, and it remains just a likely cancellation.
