Last year, FOX introduced a few new non-scripted programs, and the Beat Shazam TV show was one those which escaped cancellation. Now that the novelty has worn off, will fans return for the second season, or is this FOX TV series just a one-hit wonder? Will Beat Shazam be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An interactive, musical game show hosted by Jamie Foxx, Beat Shazam features a group of two-player teams, who race against the clock, and each other, to identify song selections. Corinne Foxx has joined as the Deejay in the second season. During each round, Foxx presents a choice of two musical categories. The object is to be the first team to correctly identify the song’s title. While low-scoring teams are eliminated from the FOX game show, the team which banks the most money will ultimately advance to compete against the Shazam app, for a chance at a huge cash prize.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Beat Shazam TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season on FOX?
*8/21/18 update: FOX has renewed the Beat Shazam TV show for a third season. Details here.
I really like the show, but most people do not know the dj is his daughter. They really need to sell the show that way because that is what makes the show. I find in entertaining to watch them together.
I think it should be CANCELED because they had a show like this before and I dont like Jamie Foxx, hes so fake and he IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
