It looks like Minority Report, the new FOX TV show, has moved a bit closer to being cancelled. It’s been reported that the series’ episode order has been cut, from 13 to 10 episodes. The show had a poor debut in the ratings last month and the numbers have been getting worse each week.
Set in Washington D.C. 2065, Minority Report follows Lara Vega (Meagan Good), a homicide detective who becomes connected with Dash (Stark Sands). He’s a psychic “precog” who’s haunted by images of future crimes and is on a mission to stop them from happening. The rest of the cast includes Nick Zano, Laura Regan, Wilmer Valderrama, Daniel London, Li Jun Li, Zhane Hall, and Tina Lifford.
The series debuted to a disappointing 1.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic with just 3.097 million viewers. The ratings dropped nearly 20% in week two and then fell about the same amount again last Monday, hitting a 0.70 rating with 2.075 million.
While the ratings and FOX’s decision to cut Minority Report’s episode order certainly aren’t good news for fans, it seems likely that the network will air (or release) all 10 installments. A second season renewal seems out of the question.
What do you think? Do you like the Minority Report TV show? Do you think it will be cancelled? Will you keep watching?
I like the show
Now to decide if I should watch this week’s episode and not DVR the rest. Decisions, decisions.
This show is a loser. No idea why it was ever greenlighted.
I really like Minority Report. How come all the good shows like Minority Report and Red Band Society always get cancelled while drek like Empire hangs around? It’s not right.
I agree totally I am so tired of a decent show that is not typical fanfare they always get cancelled its ridiculous and the Fox was really wanting to improve ratings overall maybe shuffling around x days of the week things of that sort to find a better spot for it instead of just giving up as they always do its typical that Show like this never get renewed one of the best science fiction shows of all time was Firefly it was cancelled after 13 episodes almost human another show that Fox completely and totally screwed up by canceling… Read more »
come on, Firefly was CRAP, best decision ever! i believe Freaks & Geeks was a bad decision.
Yeah in America you can say what you feel. I’ve seen things people say on the internet and real life and some of them are very mean and hurtful, but that’s alright if you say anything all the do is say that’s my right. Not saying what Greg said was like the things I’ve seen. It’s just a no win situation, because no matter what you say against something a lot of people use that say excuse for everything they say. Very frustrating.
Yes, Almost Human, loved that show too. I enjoy watching shows like that and Minority Report because it’s not the same crap. Unfortunately, FOX is consistent in it’s inability to continue anything that gets off to a slow start. How many long run shows (e.g. X-Files) would have been canceled with the decision makers over the last 5-10 years. I’m betting it’s more than a handful.
I really wanted to like this show but it’s so cheesy and not in a good way… Just awful! What is that goofy thing they say CAN YOU SEE or DO YOU SEE. Jeez, bad all around!
Actually my wife and I thought the same thing about boobs when we saw the show. We’re both sci-fi fans and saw the movie, and even though this didn’t follow it we started to enjoy it. What happened was, we both agreed that every time they show the woman it was nothing but boobs. Too bad, as I said, we really like sci-fi. Now let me finish this by saying that we really like “the league”, which is really raunchy, so we’re not one bit stodgy whatsoever. We just hate the gratuitous stuff, be it sex, violence, or whatever.
I would say that if a woman shows cleavage can we not all agree that is her right and maybe stop body shaming her. If you had commented on its lack of an interesting story and weak character development sure but really. You seem very stodgy. This is TV you are watching not a japanese tea ceremony.
It’s her right, but it’s also my right (read that old bothersome constitution) to express my opinion of her “flopping the girls” out on every episode to supposedly get more viewers. By using the words “Body shaming” you just painted yourself as a typica PC idiot.
Read something other than Twitter and you’ll see that expressing my opinion against overexpression of cleavage is actually a normal opinion shared by many other people across the country. That’s what makes America great. We can say what we feel.
How do you know if she has a choice in wardrobe on the show? So she should be fired because of her boob size? Yeah you can say what you feel and so can I. The entertainment industry is unfair as it is, now you think you have to have a certain cup size to be on TV. I guess she controls the video camera. It just frustrates me that your first opinion is the kill her off and not just change the type of shirt she’s wearing.

I enjoy Minority Report on FOX. It is nothing like the original film. Although based on the original premise, the TV series goes in an entirely different direction with the “precogs” so far. I find it more fascinating that the fictional “Criminal Justice System” was forced to dismantle the precog future crimes division, because you can’t punish people for crimes they haven’t committed, and the future can be changed, as proven in the original film. So we start out with the knowledge that at some time in the fictional past, one of the branches of the U.S. government saw fit… Read more »
