The fall season currently has three military dramas being produced: SEAL Team (CBS), The Brave (NBC), The Valor (The CW). All three series have premiered and SEAL Team currently has the highest amount of viewers with the second week having 8.39 million viewers (TV By the Numbers). The Valor is ranked last with 1.21 million viewers (TV By the Numbers) on the shows premiere. These military shows are in trouble because, according to an Adweek article, only two are destined to survive. I agree with this idea because the military theme could be overused with three military dramas in the current media marketplace.

I also think that The Valor is the most likely to fail because of how late in the season it premiered. SEAL Team premiered on September 27th and The Brave premiered on September 25th. The Valor only premiered on October 9th. This allowed for The Brave to have three episodes and SEAL Team to have two episodes before the premier of The Valor. This leaves The Valor at a disadvantage. Most military audiences have chosen a show before the series premiered.
