The Resident #11

Posted on by

“The Resident” is back to airing new episodes and pulling the same exact numbers as before. The April 16th show generated an 0.9/3 rating/share and 4.2 million viewers. This is the exact numbers the show received on 3/12, 3/19, and 3/26. It is clear that the show has its core following and is not changing. The show has not done any major promotions to increase this viewership.

I cannot find any information on when Fox’s upfront is happening. However, I can see on Cancel Bear that so far only “The Gifted”, “911” “The Orville”, and “The Simpsons” have been officially renewed. These shows are produced in house and owned by Fox, hence why they are an obvious renewal. “The Resident” is also owned by Fox, so it’s chances of renewal by May 2018 is high. This in combination with consistent ratings is a recipe for success.

Second Chance Post #8

This past Friday, Second Chance continued to drop in the ratings. Even for FOX, a 0.5 in the 18-49 demo isn’t very good, but a total audience of about 1.91 million is still respectable. According to TV By the Numbers’ renew/cancel weekly standings, the show still has not been officially cancelled by FOX, but it’s thought that this will probably occur by May of this year. Being that the season order was cut down before the show even aired, renewal isn’t likely.

It is interesting to note that since I last blogged about Second Chance’s Facebook pages, the number of people who like the page has increased by over 7,000. The total number of likes now sits at over 18,000. Everything the page posts gets good social engagement and fans seem very happy/dedicated to the show. When going to the FOX website, Second Chance is pretty far down on the homepage so they don’t seem to be actively promoting it on web. A cool feature that they do have is called Latest Buzz which is found on the show’s homepage within the FOX website. Here, they curate what people are saying about the show on social media which includes official show accounts, stars of the show, and general fan tweets. It’s done in a very attractive and clean layout. Just shows once again that social is really a requirement for today’s television…

With each passing week, it’s more and more clear that FOX’s “Second Chance” will more than likely not be getting one… The show dropped to a 0.6 rating pulling only 2.24 million viewers. A .1 decline from last week’s .7 rating in the demo.

Interestingly enough, the show has been getting paltry ratings but its social media following tells another story. On Facebook, Second Chance has 11,922 likes — not too bad, but then again a show like Empire has 3+ million. What’s interesting about the following Second Chance has is that the interaction their posts have is nearly universally positive. Especially on Facebook, I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen a page whose comments are universally positive. On almost everything they post there are a bevy of comments saying how great the show is and how disappointed viewers will be if the show gets cancelled. The engagement numbers aren’t high, but the engagement they do get is overwhelmingly positive.
