NBC has really struggled on Thursday nights and hasn’t had a hit sitcom in years. Will the A to Z series break that losing streak or will it be cancelled like so many other comedies? Stay tuned to find out.
A to Z follows the story of Andrew (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti) — two young people who are very different. Their relationship shouldn’t work and yet it does. Is it true love forever or just a detour in destiny? The rest of the cast includes Christina Kirk, Henry Zebrowski, Hong Chau, Lenora Crichlow, and Katey Sagal.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
10/31 update: NBC has cancelled A to Z after 13 episodes. Details here.
Final season averages: 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.67 million total viewers.

Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like A to Z TV show? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a second season?
My hubby and I love this show. It is seems so real-to-life, it is an honest love story, with real believable characters. The stories are always new, fresh and interesting. Move it to a new night, or earlier to a new time slot.
Another show yet canceled because there is no half-naked reality show girls and douche guys. Definitely would be very disappointed with you guys if you canceled it, at least finish it to Z. The show shared a funny, cute story between the two. Honestly the best show I’ve seen on TV in a while. So f*** you NBC, bring back Andrew and Zelda!
Hugely disappointed to learn this show was being cancelled. Was it just too smart for mainstream audiences? The characters, writing, actors… everything just clicks. It’s the clever smart shows that always go away. Such a shame. I’ve DVR’d each episode. Refusing to erase still.
Was disappointed to hear of this cancellation. The two main characters are so likable and unique. It’s hard to imagine any replacement show touching their chemistry.
I really really wish this show would stay on the air!!! It’s super cute and I really like the characters! And if the show creators are only planning on running through the alphabet, they’re already halfway through it. Just finish it up!
Love this show!!!
NBC should really rethink cancelling this show especially since none of their other sitcoms are hitting any home runs out the park. I would like to see this show renewed for another season.
I love this show. It’s so much better than say “New Girl” – I just don’t get it. NBC has a tendency to cancel new shows without giving them a fair shot. It’s got a great ensemble cast and has had very little support (advertising) ftom the network. I far prefer it to mostly annoying “Marry Me”
I couldn’t agree with you more on every point made here! Love this show as well. It’s the smart shows that always get cancelled it seems.
The writing is clever, and the characters are lovable and funny! I love this show so much and I want to see it continue!!! Season one brought us through the alphabet to letter M… Can we at least get through the alphabet?? Maybe move it to Wednesday, there’s nothing good on Wednesdays.
This is one of the best RomCom series I’ve seen in a while!!
This was a great show, good writing and actors. Wish the network would have at least tried another time slot before cancelling.
I really wish it would get renewed I want to see episode Z
This show could have been great with the proper handling of the series by the network. Clearly someone there doesn’t have their priorities straight.
I really love A to Z! I think it has a lot of potential, and a spectacular cast! If Seinfeld can make it ( as much as I loved it Jerry can’t act lol) then this show definitely can! Cristin, is especially talented and definitely deserves this shot!
Please just finish the show how the writer imagined it to originally end. I love the characters and Andrew and Zelda are the cutest couple ever. I would love to see it complete and if you have to make changes to finish it (change the date of release or release them every other week or anything).
This show cannot be canceled! The writing is snappy, and the characters likeable and charismatic. It’s the best new show of the season. At least renew it until episode 26. Just because some people don’t have ratings boxes doesn’t mean they aren’t watching. Put it on a better night so the competition isn’t as bad. I want to see how it ends naturally.
me too
