On average how do new fall shows do? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think about 65% of the shows that debut in a fall season don't make it past year 1. That may be a bit high and I'm too lazy to count. I'd say that only about 10% run to around 100 episodes or go into off network syndication. Someone corrrect me if I'm wrong.

10% going into syndication is about right. Ive heard it was 1 in every 12 new series gets that far, but I could be misquoting.

This fall season however, I think 10% will be the amount that makes it to next year.

That 10% being Joey and CSI:NY.
