What’s This TV Show About?

An FX black comedy, Baskets stars Zach Galifianakis, Louie Anderson, and Martha Kelly, with Alex Morris recurring. The surreal series centers on rodeo clown Chip Baskets (Galifianakis), his twin, Dale (Galifianakis), and mother Christine (Anderson). In season four, Chip decides it is high time to move out, but has a hard time adapting, despite the help of Martha (Kelly) and a life coach.

Season Four Ratings

The fourth season of Baskets averaged a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 327,000 viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 25% and 20%, respectively. Find out how Baskets stacks up against the other FX TV shows.

Telly’s Take

Will FX cancel or renew Baskets for a fifth season? The ratings are low but I suspect that this show is fairly inexpensive to make (for a scripted series). I think it will be renewed as long as Galifianakis and company want to continue. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with any developments.
