While Jimmy is “Raising Hope,” FOX is hoping that the sitcom’s ratings will rise. Will this be the year that the comedy becomes ratings hit or could it be cancelled instead? We’ll have to wait and see.
The third season of Raising Hope typically airs Tuesday nights on the FOX network. Once again, the sitcom’s cast includes Lucas Neff, Martha Plimpton, Garrett Dillahunt, Shannon Marie Woodward, Gregg Binkley, and Cloris Leachman.
Below are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if Raising Hope is going to be cancelled or renewed for season four.

What do you think? Do you still like the Raising Hope TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
My boyfriend and I started watching this show after I learned that they put little hidden gems in it from My Name is Earl which was another great show by the same people that got canceled
…me and my bf fell in love with this show. Its so easy to relate to and it is sooo funny. Would be a shame if they canceled it anytime soon.
Great show, always funny and I always look forward to watching it! Though I agree with a comment above, it needs to be promoted more!! I am a fan on facebook and was very surprised the “Raising Hope” only has 668,109 fans that in itself should tell you it needs more promoting! Fox has a habbit of promoting shows that worked for them in the past and keeping them around and milking them dry! Lets face it once you seen 1 reality singing show you’ve seen them all! And what the heck is with Bob’s Burgers?!?!? I don’t know a… Read more »
This is my favorite show. I laugh like crazy on ever episode. Please don’t cancel!!!
I really like the show but last Tues’ ep about Jimmy’s bachelor party and strange marriage was a far gone & off the deep end. I hope it gets back on track otherwise this could signal its death keel.
Please don’t cancel ‘Raising Hope’!!!
It is one of the few consistently funny shows on TV. I spend each episode laughing my head off. The characters are offbeat and eccentric, but very lovable. The cast is full of talented actors who really bring the characters to life. And the writers are great–somehow they come up with a clever, original, hilarious new show every week.
Fox Network, if you are smart, you will promote it more and give it another season, at least.
Raising hope is my family’s favorite show!!!!
This is my favorite show!! My husband and I laugh our heads off! Please don’t let it be cancelled!
This show needs more viewers. Its been consistently hilarious. What’s more is the writing and acting are phenomenal. It’s hard to right stupid characters that you can enjoy and are funny, but Raising Hope hits it right on the dot.
