What is the baseline for ratings?
What are shows supposed to do ratings wise to get renewed? I feel like all the shows I like gets canceled too soon.
I’m not watching anymore new shows until season 4 is announced
Depends on the channel/platform it's on, if it's critically acclaimed or not, and how much the show costs
Show A: Low views, critically acclaimed, medium costs
Show B: High views, critically panned, low costs
Show C: Medium views, middling reviews, high costs
HBO would cancel Shows B and C, but keep Show A
A channel like starz would keep Show B, cut Show A and Show C would be up in the air.
A show like Mad Men had lowish views but was getting all kinds of awards and also cost a lot. AMC kept it because that is how much a juggernaut it was with the critics/awards. All the awards with help with ad money, which helps with the cost of the show.
