A couple weeks ago, FOX shifted their low-rated Rake series to Friday nights. Now, the show is on the move again.
Rake follows a lawyer (Greg Kinnear) who tries to do good but just can’t seem to get beyond his numerous addictions that cause him so much trouble. The cast also includes John Ortiz, Necar Zadegan, Bojana Novakovic, David Harbour, Tara Summers, Miranda Otto, and Ian Colletti.
The series is being replaced by Kitchen Nightmares as of this Friday night. A rerun of the Gordon Ramsay series will lead into the one-hour series finale of Raising Hope at 9pm. Season six of Nightmares kicks off on April 11th.
Back-to-back episodes of Rake will air on Saturday, April 5th, starting at 8pm. That will leave one episode unaired — the sixth installment produced, titled “Mammophile.” No word on when or if that will see the light of day.
One thing is clear however. Despite the fact that FOX hasn’t cancelled it yet, there’s no way that Rake will be returning for a second season.
What do you think? Have you been watching the Rake TV series? Why do you think it hasn’t caught on?
Finally a clever, quirky show that has kept my attention. Way to go FOX! Geez, people these days don’t know a good show if it landed on their head! Another one bites the dust, its the networks loss. This show was great. I’m guessing from the way TV is headed, that it’s the viewers that suck.
Fox has a reputation for canceling great shows before they have a chance to catch on. I love Rake and it gas so much potential if givin the opportunity. Greg Kinnear is funny as heck, love him !!
Tired of all the same old played out shows Rake is a breath of fresh air Fox needs to give it a chance.
breathe
I enjoy the show. I agree that it has not been given enough time to catch on. Give it a chance!
Where ever it is, I will find it ! Netflix should buy it and continue it. Too intelligent for network programming.
This show is outstanding !!
It is a shame. The show is excellent !! Stands up to the original series produced in Australia
Do NOT cancel Rake!! It is a fabulous show! Can’t fathom why it hasn’t caught on, except that they keep moving it.
FOX has a problem….!! And that is they almost never give a show enough time to catch on. The first several shows of ” Justified” and “Vikings”I watched I wasn’t sure if I liked them or not. However, I am now addicted to them. The first couple of RAKE I watched I felt the same way, now I am addicted to RAKE. Just about the time people are getting into a show, FOX cancels them. The new show that they replaced RAKE with, titled “Surviving Jack” , SUCKS big time. Bring back RAKE..!!!!!
I AGREE. BRING BACK RAKE – Surviving Jack was bad!
I LOVE this show. Didn’t know it had moved to Fridays…couldn’t find it. I was hoping to watch tonight but now it’s moved to Saturday. YIKES! Please do not cancel this show…give it a chance…stop moving it around!!!!
Fox – please reconsider! Just love Greg Kinnear and the cast of Rake! The writing is good and so are the actors. Can’t believe with all the junk on t.v. – you would consider cancelling this. Come on….. give it one more chance!!
Great show! The acting and writing is excellent. Always looked forward to this show since there’s not much to watch. Enough with the reality shows and those horrible kitchen shows!
Great show. I always looked forward to it. TV has very few shows this good. The entire cast is excellent as well as the writing. Stop with the reality shows and the kitchen shows!
Finally, there a great show to worth watching !!
Fun stories & good writers….
DO NOT CANCEL RAKE!!! This is my favorite show right now. It adds something different to the television landscape. Surely there is room for this quality show among all of the reality crap and traditional comedies.
