It wasn’t a particularly impressive start for 1600 Penn, especially since its lead-in, The Voice, drew a 4.2 demo rating with 13.4 million viewers. Many critics have noted that the later episodes are much better than the first. It remains to be seen if viewers will give the show that much time.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

This is a wonderfully funny and intelligent show!!!!!!!
I couldn’t watch more than 5 minutes of this. With a 0.7 and 1.89 mil viewers there is no way NBC would waste their money on renewing this. They canceled Animal Practice and that was performing better than any other NBC sitcom.
I have watched the show from the premiere… it would be a shame to cancel it. 1600 Penn makes me belly laugh and few shows apart from Modern Family have made me smile so much!!! I hope the viewers write in and show their support, it has wit, quirkiness, and is just plain FUNNY. It is a nice departure from reality show land!
I think the show is refreshing! It offers a clean, wholesome show to families. I hope they do decide to renew it, especially with the twist that it isn’t DB’s baby!
This show is too funny to cancel
Quirky but funny. It is so nice to have a comedy that is clean. I see the ratings have been going up slowly but surely. I hope they give it one more chance. Bill Pullman and Jenna Elfman are a good comedic pairing. The character of Skip is so simple and weird that you have to laugh. You have to love Xander and his intelligence. The addition of D.B was a wonderful way to play off of Becca’s brilliant bordering on snobby ways. It brought her character down to earth a bit. I do agree with a previous comment that… Read more »
In a campy way, this show is very funny. I’m surprised that NBC is considering cancelling it after the success they had with a little show called Seinfeld which did not carry a large audience or good ratings its first 3 seasons…. There are already enough reality shows and non-campy sitcoms to choose from, this show is fresh, different, funny, and draws you into the quirky characters. Take a risk NBC and back this show another season!
I love the show and think that it is so amazing at showing how messed up but loving a family can be! I really hope that it is renewed!!!
This is the best show ever made and is so good and funny and really great.
Just kidding.
I think all the positive reviews are so funny. Pretty sure they are all linked to the show in one way or another.
Not mine….NBC…ummmmmmmmmm
Great show. All the characters are loveable and quirky, and Skip is absolutely hilarious. I hope it makes the cut!!
How is it that NBC has kept assaulting viewers with this horrible show? NBC programming in general is terrible and this stupid show is a prime example.
Yeah, I love it, think it’s the funniest show on TV. So it will almost certainly be canceled. Got to make room for another reality TV show — woohoo.
I’ve been following show ratings for a lot of years. It is part of my job.
I don’t recall seeing ratings fall like this, so fast and so hard, in a long time.
When people say “give it a chance” I have to say to them “the show was given a very fair chance, and it has failed.”
Who ever gives the Neilsen the ratings is just one sided. There have been a lot of shows that I loved, but it was cancelled. I even tried to find out how to get counted in the ratings, but the Neilsen company selects their own people. It’s all politics.
I really enjoy it It’s different so that means they will probable cancel it.
Reagardless of your opinion, (I happen to think the show is terrible, and like many people on the first page of the comments, I can NOT stand the Marigold character), the fact is the rating are terrible.
The network does not care if a few people like the show. They need good ratings or the slot needs to filled with something else. They are already working on a replacement for this show.
This show is great. It’s funny and clean. I love it.
