This week I did not expect to be downgrading some television shows. I expected to upgrade at least one show. However I'm holding on for one more week.

Welcome to Sweden premiered abominably low with a 0.3 A18-49 rating. I have to admit that I will give it the benefit of the doubt, since it is an international coproduction. For this point, rather than starting it in the certain cancelation territory, Welcome to Sweden will start at "likely to be canceled".

What has been going on with The Whispers? We've been hearing that cast options have been expired for the show. The show is not doing badly by summer standards, but with reports about unhappy cast members, we'll put it as "likely canceled" for now.
