The CW wrapped the final season of The Flash last week. The speedster ended its nine-year run even with the previous week. Gotham Knights was steady with its previous new episode a couple of weeks ago. Superman & Lois picked up one hundred thousand viewers after a week off. Still no word on if either show will be renewed. Chances are they will be quietly shuffled off over the summer and the network heads will hope fans don't notice.

And that's a wrap on the 2022-23 television season! How did your favorite shows do this season? Will they be back for another year?
As of now, premiere week would normally be the week of September 17. However, the writer's strike is now entering week four with no sign the AMPTP is interested in returning to the table. The DGA is still in negotiations, and SAG-AFTRA begins its contract talks next week.
If there is no resolution with the three guilds in the next few weeks, fall premieres will be delayed. A short delay may not impact the next television season much, but if the strike(s) last for months, episode counts will be reduced the longer the season is postponed. Streaming outlets will also start feeling the pinch in the coming weeks. So far, streamers have been more insulated from production delays thanks to their less structured schedules. That will change if strikes last through the summer.
Ratings Roundup will be taking the summer off. See you in the fall! (Hopefully!)

NCIS LA was the only one I was still watching. Gave up on NCIS when Michael Weatherly left. Lost interest in NCIS NOLA before its last season. Never bothered with NCIS: Hawai'i. Technically NCIS: Sydney was never supposed to be shown here in the States. It was made for the overseas audience. I might watch the first episode just to see what they do with a version that's not constrained by US standards.
Still can't believe NCIS LA was canceled and they will be coming out with a NCIS Sydney which I won't be watching.
To me, the very last episode wrapped things up well. Also, try to see the ending special episode - great cast interviews. I added it to TVmaze. But I'm not sure where you would find it to view. Thanks for your great work.
I still haven't watched the last season. the end of season 13 was pretty much perfect.
I will surely miss NCIS: Los Angles. Great show!
You're welcome! Thanks for reading each week.
Thanks for all your hard work each week in compiling these lists. I really appreciate & I look forward to next season, whenever that eventually starts....
