OptimisticCynic December 2, 2015 Share December 2, 2015 I don't really think the show has a chance to get a second season, but it makes me happy that it seems to be finding its audience. If it were to grow its audience more (maybe to Jane the Virgin S1 ratings), it would also be a nice way to tell networks that even low-rated premieres can achieve ratings growth in this day and age and that patience is not such a bad thing. Let's hope Rachel Bloom can get a Golden Globe nomination for this show! The CW ordered five more episodes so even if not renewed I hope that means a satisfying ending.

Yes, the extra episode order was a surprise after these ratings, so it indicates a certain level of faith in the show, or just a recognition that it has become a topic of excited conversation, in however limited a frame of reference. There's no knowing what's going on behind closed doors, but I'm at least looking forward to a good full season (and really a lot more air time than they would have had from a Showtime order, maybe 12 half-hour episodes).

taragel December 2, 2015 Share December 2, 2015 Conversely, though I hope it's not true, I've read that more episodes but not a renewal is actually a death knell, especially on CW because they have some sort of agreement with Netflix that their cancelled shows must have a true conclusion, not just trail off. So they give enough to finish off the story with more episodes but don't have plans to renew beyond the season. TV Grim Reaper has predicted it's likely to be cancelled and Cancellation Bear doesn't give it much hope either. I hope that's completely wrong and/or a miracle happens though, because I love this show and would happily watch for many years. The surrealness of the comedy means this isn't a show where I'll ever stress over "Where is it going?! What is the point?" So I don't think I'd grow tired of it for that reason, and the musical numbers will keep me tuning in even if it's to a bitter bitter end (much like with Glee in its latter years.) Sigh. At the very least, if it does tank after one, I hope some smart TV execs out there are paying attention and ready to give Rachel Bloom another shot at something.

Who's the production company behind CEG? Is it Warner Brothers by chance? It's CBS. Which makes for an intriguing corporate politics wrinkle some cancellation-prediction sites overlook: because the CW is a joint venture between CBS and WB, there's a sense that the CW tries to keep some sort of balance in what they air, and right now I think WB studio products are the majority. But even there, Jane The Virgin (also a CBS Studios show) gets priority because the ratings are a little better and the critical acclaim a little higher, so potentially if CBS Studio's development slate this pilot season is really really strong, the CW might still cancel CXG in favor of ordering one more new show. Go figure. For now, I guess try to talk up the show and share your favorite song number, most to all are on Youtube, and hopefully that'd help. I mean, the ratings ticked up over the last few weeks, that's gotta be something.

Most debuting fall broadcast shows only have an initial order for 13 episodes. The next step is usually ordering the back 9 to complete a full 22 episode season. Renewal for a second season usually comes after they're into the back 9. Jane The Virgin and some other CW shows were renewed early in January last year and that was considered an early pickup but they had already received their back 9. The fact that it was 5 instead of 9 could be troubling but I've seen shorter orders happen even with shows that for sure were coming back. Netflix deal is over this season, so I wouldn't read too much into that. For the CW? I think they're fighting to keep the CW shows. Probably not because of Crazy Ex, though.

DB in CMH December 5, 2015 Share December 5, 2015 (edited) The CW ordered the 5 scripts before the show even premiered, so they liked what the read and gave them the 5 episodes. It could also be a production issue, especially if Rachel and Co. don't feel that they can do more than 18 a season because of the songs. All of the songs have been top notch so far - can't think of one dud. But I can't imagine that those productions are easy to film, particularly with the smaller budget that the show likely has. Regarding Netflix: the CW shows are incredibly popular there, but when Netflix signed the deal they weren't doing original content. Now they're moving towards an HBO model and are doing it incredibly well with it and have loads and loads of original content. I can't help but to think that they'll use that pivot to undercut the CW on a new deal. There's also the issue that the big affiliate deal with the local CW stations expires this season and there's an off chance that the network folds altogether. That really has nothing to do with the show, of course, and is probably a very small likelihood. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for the Golden Globes. I think that Rachel, at least, can nab a nomination. If the show does get cancelled at the end of the season, I think there's also an outside chance that somebody else picks it up. I actually don't know if I want a second season. Like Jane the Virgin, it doesn't have the kind of storyline that will stretch well, and JtV is already cracking in season 2 trying to keep it fresh. I'd rather have 18 brilliant installments than 18 + a second season that limps to cancellation.

Rinaldo December 5, 2015 Share December 5, 2015 (edited) The CW ordered the 5 scripts before the show even premiered Yes, and then they ordered 5 more in November.

Ms Blue Jay December 11, 2015 Share December 11, 2015 Amazing news for Rachel. I'm so happy to hear. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26821-media-crazy-ex-girlfriend-makes-the-news/page/2/#findComment-1793358
Irlandesa December 11, 2015 Share December 11, 2015 In all honesty, I wouldn't complain about Julia Louis-Dreyfus winning this category. Despite being a repeat, she's off-the-charts sensational on Veep. I'm torn because I do think JLD is hands-down the funniest woman on TV right now. (And I tend to think that whenever she's on TV.) And it seems like she keeps upping her game each season of Veep which is hard considering how long she has been doing this comedy thing. But Rachel needs it more. Suddenly JTV isn't the only CW show with award recognition. It saved Jane last year. It probably is helping them this year too. I don't think it'll raise ratings. It didn't help Jane's ratings overall. But the CW TPTB care about award recognition because they get it so rarely. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26821-media-crazy-ex-girlfriend-makes-the-news/page/2/#findComment-1794091
crashdown December 11, 2015 Share December 11, 2015 Boy, is this good news--I'm so filled with love for this show, and so mad at myself for falling this hard for something that needs a miracle for a season two. But maybe . . . maybe. I'm daring to hope again. This *is* the CW, after all--their ratings exist in a different universe, and even a hint of critical prestige must mean something to them. They have gold in their hands right now with Rachel and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend--I can't imagine why more people aren't seeing it.
