As the season doesn't official start until next week only 4 shows started this week just gone, 2 returning comedies and 2 new dramas. First up was New Girl. The once big hit for the FOX network struggled a lot last season not even the post Super-bowl could stop the downturn in ratings. It started the season with a 2.9 rating but fell to a 1.2 for the finale, that is a drop of 59% across the season. This season it started with a 1.7 rating an improvement on the last original aired but if the ratings drop like last year it could see the show take a dive to a 0.7. This all gives New Girl a 50% chance of renewal at the moment. Mindy Project had an okay year last time looking at the grand scheme of things, dropping from a 1.9 to a 1.3 across the season a 32% drop. But the third season premier only managed a 1.3 but with a similar drop in ratings like last year it could end the season on a 0.9 this together with only one more season before syndication should secure it's renewal. I think Mindy has a 76% chance of getting renewed at this moment. See my predictions on the new shows later tonight.
