Week 19: Night Court Is Likely To Be Renewed

tvgrimreaper.substack.com

Night Court is likely to be renewed. NBC’s new/old sitcom premiered with ratings > 3x their Friday sitcoms. Those ratings will almost certainly fall, but they’d have to fall a very long way to not get the show another season.

In last week’s news, in my first missed prediction of the season, NCIS:LA was canceled. Not completely surprising, as ancient dramas are always in some danger no matter their ratings, since their longevity is controlled by their non-public syndication deals.

Predictions/Status:

All predictions are for renewal for the 2023-24 broadcast season, or cancellation by the end of the 2022-23 broadcast season.

CW

🤷 What’s up with CW predictions?

Nexstar purchased 75% of the CW network in 2022. CBS & WB now own just 12.5% of the network each.

Nexstar has a deal obligating them to carry CBS & WB shows on the CW for the 2022-23 season. Nexstar can renew the deal at its option on an annual basis and carry CBS/WB shows longer, but what it will do is anyone’s guess.
