Looks like the 2015 version of The Odd Couple will not be getting its first full season after all. Its season 3 order is staying at only 13 episodes.

Premiere Date Announced for Superior Donuts

Superior Donuts will launch with a special preview on Thursday, February 2, at 8:30 pm, after a new episode of The Big Bang Theory. The following Monday, February 6, Superior Donuts will move into its regular slot: Mondays at 9:00 pm. 2 Broke Girls will be bumped to Mondays at 9:30 pm, succeeding the 2015 version of The Odd Couple, whose third season will have finished airing the previous Monday (January 30).

Nice move: Have the only veteran sitcom in the Monday lineup be in an X:30 pm timeslot.

Man with a Plan and The Great Indoors now have true full seasons. They have each received an order for three more episodes for a total of 22. Also, Kevin Can Wait was given two more episodes, for a total of 24.

^^Also, according to that article, Undercover Boss is taking the Fridays-at-8pm timeslot and air four episodes there starting April 28. And BTW, the 29th cycle of The Amazing Race will now start on March 30.

Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods both attracted demo ratings of less than 1.0 for their original telecasts on April 28 (H5-0 was at 0.90 and BB was at 0.80). Because of these series lows, could Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods end their original runs after next season (2017-18)? There was a rumor going around last November of 2016 that Alex O'Loughlin (who portrays Steve McGarrett) was planning to leave H-50.

icecream · 05-05-2017, 12:56 PM

Hawaii 5-0 may end next season but Blue Bloods will still be around awhile. It does really well in syndication and CBS won't want to replace 2 hours at once on Fridays. Madam Secretary is doing worse on Sundays. It only got renewed for season 4 because of the syndication rule but I think it is done after the 2017-2018 season.

James28 · 05-18-2017, 08:44 AM

I'm not sure if Blue Bloods is going to surpass the eight-season run of Magnum P.I. (Tom selleck's previous CBS series), even though BB will already have more episodes than Magnum, P.I. during next season (its eighth). I already imagine the possibility of the 2016 version of MacGyver tanking in season two and ending up cancelled, combined with the idea of H5-0 and BB ending after their eighth seasons; this would mean CBS starting over on Friday nights for the 2018-19 season.

Also, would CBS want to cancel Blue Bloods abruptly if it tanks in the ratings as well?

Svenfan1234 · 05-18-2017, 11:21 AM

I don't know. The current MacGyver is doing pretty well in the ratings. As for Blue Bloods and Magnum, P.I., Magnum is way better but I don't honestly see how the two can be compared.

James28 · 07-04-2017, 11:03 PM

^^Even though their demo ratings are almost all the same, the viewership for the 2016 version of MacGyver is actually below those of Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods. In fact, I believe MacGyver skews younger than the other two.

Their ratings averages for the 2016-17 TV season:

MacGyver (2016): 1.08 in the 18-49 demo, 7.728 million viewers
Hawaii Five-0: 1.15 in the 18-49 demo, 9.247 million viewers
Blue Bloods: 1.14 in the 18-49 demo, 9.944 million viewers
