ABC has struggled to establish Tuesday comedy series but Fresh Off the Boat has survived. The show was renewed for a third season, despite a sizable decline in the ratings. Will the numbers continue to fall? Will it be cancelled or, is it sure to be renewed for a fourth season so there will be enough episodes for syndication? Stay tuned.
Taking place in the ’90s, Fresh Off the Boat follows a Taiwanese family that moves from DC’s Chinatown to Orlando in Florida. Pursuing the American Dream, the parents (Randall Park and Constance Wu) open a steak restaurant. They and their kids (Hudson Yang, Forrest Wheeler and Ian Chen) experience some serious culture shock along the way. Additional castmembers include Lucille Soong, Chelsey Crisp, and Ray Wise.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/17 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

Last year comparison: The second season of Fresh Off the Boat averaged a 1.33 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.44 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Fresh Off the Boat TV series on ABC? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
5/12 update: Fresh Off the Boat has been renewed for season four on ABC. Details here.
Favorite Show! Our family looks forward to watching every Tuesday!!! It needs to be renewed.
LOVE ❤️ THIS SHOW!! Please bring it back!!!
This show is not at all funny and the worst acted show on television. The actors sound like they are reading words they have never heard before. I can’t figure out how this show lasted more than one season. Television at its worst.
LOVE it! Please don’t cancel. We watch the re-runs through our cable provider site at our own time.
Wonderful show! We look forward to it every week. It is so funny and we love the characters . This is the only show we actually watch religiously. Must have season 4!

It should be renewed. Not only is it funny and relevant but the cast is great. I love this show.

Pretty bad schedule. FOTB cannot lead a night.
This show is extremely boring! We were very much looking forward to it all summer. We watched 3 episodes trying to give it a chance. Way too Boring!!!
Ncis has gotten tiresome and the new cast member are killing the show( fez )come on really! Like bull so far do you really want to see dinozzo as bull i don’t. But i feel if the show always has winning at the end it might become to boring. Lets give a chance.
I can’t stand this show. They even have the nerve to mock god as if he is not real. I know this is my personal view, however I just miss the old days!!
Everyone has his/her own believes. You can’t force ppl to believe something they don’t really do.
