The Grinder isn’t the only show from FOX’s Tuesday night block to be cancelled. TVLine reports the network has also cancelled Grandfathered after one season.
The comedy starred John Stamos as an aging ladies’ man who discovers not only does he have a son (Josh Peck) he never knew about, but he also has a new granddaughter. Paget Brewster, Christina Milian, Kelly Jenrette, and Ravi Patel also starred.
Ratings were never particularly high during Grandfathered‘s first season, with the show only receiving an average of .92 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 2.728 million viewers.
Josh Peck confirmed the cancellation on his Twitter:
Thank you for watching and supporting @Grandfathered I'm sorry it's over but I feel lucky to have been a part of it! https://t.co/QqVgY63xBM

What do you think? Did you watch Grandfathered? Do you think the show should’ve continued?
I LOVED and faithfully watched both of these shows Grandfathered and The Grinder. Fox always does this! I’m still sick about the John Doe cliff hanger. Why can’t Fox keep some GOOD shows on the air for those of us who appreciate the story line, characters and actors. I will sign a petition too but i doubt it will do any good. BOO!
So upset by the cancellation of Grandfathered and Grinder. The two shows we consistently watch cancelled yet again. Ready to give up on network t.v. entirely!
I’m so upset over this Grandfathered was a perfect show with an amazing cast. Please give it another chance whether continuing on FOX or moving to a new network. We need more, especially after that cliffhanger!
Please, please, PLEASE do NOT cancel Grandfathered! It’s one of the best shows on tv! John Stamos is wonderful & the relationships in this show are fun. The whole crew just works! Please, please, please, give it a season 2!
So, so sad!!! I really like this show and the relationships were just starting to grow!!! Fox: you need to stop cancelling shows, especially when they leave us with a cliffhanger. Like many others, I can only hope Hulu or some other company will buy it from Fox!!!
i need this show to be continued, this show was THE best show I’ve ever found. please give grandfathered another chance!
One of the two good shows to be canceled. Grandfather was balanced between humor and drama. The character development was just getting good! I don’t understand why the network doesn’t give any show more time to be developed. The network gods continue to be short sighted and they wonder why the audiences are switching away to Hulu and Netflix.
Grandfathered was such a great family show. I hope the network will reconsider. If anyone starts a petition, I will certainly add my name to it.
What a sad way to end a new series — leaving the audience hanging! That ‘s irresponsible programming showing little respect for your viewers. At least you could’ve given us one more show to wrap it up before cancellation.
I looked forward to watching this show every week. So much better than 2 Broke Girls which is still on the air. I hope someone else picks it up
My Husband and HAVE Such DIFFERENT Views ON TV Watching So FINDING SOME We Both LIKE IS A Cool thing …we liked Grandfathered ..I think they were Ripped Off and Cancled. I thought they had a Show go in ..but it’s really a good show …we will miss it !
This was such a good show! Why did fox have to cancel it with a hang at the end? Boo fox! Hulu please save grandfathered just like mindy project!
I love this show! They just became a couple. Give it another chance!
You are really gonna leave us hanging? Like one poster said, one of only a few new shows I watch–that is, tape & watch.
I’m so disappointed!!! My favorite comedy!!!! Smart and witty with a stellar cast. Big mistake. Big.
