With the new calendar year, hope may still be alive for some shows, but not for Truth Be Told or The Player which were both canceled in the Fall. Of course the reaper didn’t miss predicting either, but he’s not bragging, the only ones who did were the delusional or the weak minded under the control of the #PRJedi.
As always, the new calendar year also brings a new start to the ratings used to calculate the Reaper Index. For the rest of the season the Reaper Index will only use ratings for shows since January 4, 2016.

The Reaper Index is the ratio of a scripted show’s new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It’s calculated by dividing a show’s new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show’s own network. The network’s average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.
