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.
What do you think? Do you like the 1600 Penn TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

I. Love. This. Show. Just introduced it to my 3 (resistant, reluctant) teenaged sons and they HOWLED. (In a good way.)
At First I Didn’t Like This Show, Skip Was Incredibly Annoying, But It Grew On Me As The Season Progressed, Characters Were Developed, And Story Lines Emerged. This Is Now A Show I Look Forward To!! Unfortunately For Ratings Purposes, I Also Do Not Watch This Program On The TV, Rather, I Enjoy Shows On My Phone When I Have Time To Watch Them- Usually late At Night Or In The Morning On My Day Off!
I adore this show. With the show’s finale, NBC owes it to fans to have at least one more season. Basing anything on nightly ratings is no longer a viable way to judge the success of any show. If not for Hulu, I wouldn’t even know the shows exists. However, even though I can’t watch it on the Network, we checked each weekend to see if a new episode was added, and thoroughly enjoyed every episode. Oh, and just in case the hacks at the beginning of this stream are wondering, I don’t work for NBC, I AM a real… Read more »
We love this family show and now with the cliff hanger at the end of season one, you’ve got to bring it back. We found it by accident on Hulu. Maybe it just needs time for people to discover it.
Don’t cancel!! Love the show…Skip is brilliant!
I love this show it would ruin my TV show ritual. I have my set TV series that I watch and 1600 Penn is definitely on it. Why do some of the best shows get cancelled there is something wrong with that.
I wouldn’t normally comment but I am astonished by the almost unbroken stream of positive remarks about the show.
Astonished to the point I just don’t believe they genuine remarks. This show is just utter garbage and Josh Gadd should be singled out for the awful things he has done in this show.
Cancel this abortion of a show ASAP.
DC, I was thinking the same thing. I used to work for ABC before I moved to cable and I saw this stuff before. Other posters have commented the belief that many of thepositive posters here are somehow linked to the show, and this happens all the time. The thing is, comments like these have ZERO impact on the network because they know the comments are not genuine. NBC WILL cancel the show because the ratings are garbage. It does not help that viewers loathe the show, and most critics hate it. One or two people pointed out that the… Read more »
That is reassuring to know Jennifer.
Please NBC don’t cancel this is an awesome show I love it and it ended on a cliff hanger I mean seriously they found out its Marshalls baby…. like seriously please don’t cancel Please thank you 🙂
One of my favorite shows! Skip is amazing!! Please don’t cancel the show!
I think that 1600 penn is awesome and not all of the episodes have to be comedy some of them can be a little more heart felt. The characters have a TON of potential and some of the minor characters should be given a bigger place with some comedy. NBC should give the show a chance to get into its stride and maybe it can go far. As for the script writers they do a good job but I think that they really could be great. I hope that 1600 penn gets another season at least and gets a chance… Read more »
Me and my husband love this show!
I hope they don’t cancel this show 🙂
The show actually started off with low ratings, and has in fact lost more ground (70 percent or so) from its bad opening. When you say “other shows are a rehash” again, you are an idiot. This show is one cliché after another. This is my first time on this board but I have to agree with some of the older comments. It seems like you are perhaps either working on the show and are soon to be out of a job, or you know people working on the show. I’ll chime in on something else several other people pointed… Read more »
i think that maybe you should not go with the ratings that you see and look more close ly at the show
At first I didn’t really like this show. I think it has to do with the facts that it ran on Thursday with a non-successful Office. I finally decided to give the show another chance and fell in love with the characters, especially the oldest sister. Please don’t cancel.
I LOVE THIS SHOW
NBC, the ratings on this are starting slow; however, perhaps a big part of the start for this is that so many people do not watch NBC anymore. (Trust me, if it wasn’t for HULU, I wouldn’t have seen half of the shows from this season!) 1600 Penn is an awesome show and they could really do so much more! Give this show a chance and, do yourselves a favor, NBC, stop looking in the same barrels for innovative programming ideas… That is part of the problem! Many of your shows look like a rehash of either shows you already… Read more »
