TVMI Podcast for February 20, 2013

And just like that… Nashville, Castle, Revenge and Scandal have been assured renewal…. BOP, like Zero Hour, is most likely gone by the end of the season.

Smash… Not a Smash. Will NBC pull the remaining episodes like they did for Do No Harm?

Cult… Not much better than 90210

Tuesdays continue to be horrible minus NCIS, NCIS:LA, The Bachelor, & New Girl.

Both NBC comedies deserve to be cancelled. NBC just needs to air out the episodes and put The Voice to better use. Smash really should be moved to Thursdays and Hannibal to Tuesdays at 10. The timeslot is wide open.

Body of Proof did absolutely terrible but it never deserved to be renewed last year. Dana Delany & Jeri Ryan deserve better.

Body of Proof’s low ratings aren’t a surprise. Didn’t it hit a 1.2 last season before magically recovering? I only watched the first 30 minutes of the season premiere, the show just didn’t feel the same anymore.

But Cougar Town had one of its strongest episodes to date. Hopefully it’ll get the ratings it deserves.

From NBC
