The CW, in comparison, is up 11% (though that&#8217;s not exactly the sand box that the teen-loving network likes to play in). <\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s any consolation, the collective adult 18 to 49 rating for all of TV &#8212; and we mean every last network &#8212; is down 2% versus a year ago, so its not just the broadcast nets that may be taking a hit. <\/p>\n<p>Viewership has also dropped among all the nets except CW (which is up from 2.0 million to 2.1 million), but the losses are only in the single digits. What matters most is the performance in that super important adult demo &#8212; and for that reason, we&#8217;re only focusing on the Top 50 shows among folks 18 to 49. <\/p>\n<p>Each 18 to 49 ratings point represents 1.3 million viewers. We&#8217;re not suggesting you start those renewal prayers if your favorite show didn&#8217;t make the cut below (<a href=\"http:\/\/insidetv.ew.com\/2011\/02\/20\/midseason-ratings-worst\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">see the bottom 50 here<\/a>). Shows like &#8220;Fringe,&#8221; for instance, fall below the Top 50, but no one at Fox is hinting to a cancellation &#8212; yet. <\/p>\n<p>(For more about what&#8217;s apt to stick around and what&#8217;ll likely earn a pink slip, check out our <a href=\"http:\/\/insidetv.ew.com\/2011\/02\/07\/tv-scorecard-renewed-cancelled\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV survival scorecard here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>1.
