ABC continues their search to find a new hit family sitcom for Wednesday nights. So many have failed and been cancelled. Will Black-ish be the next to go or will it be a success in the ratings and be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On Black-ish, patriarch Dre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) begins to wonder if his success has caused him and his family to lose touch with their roots. The rest of the family is played by Tracee Ellis Ross, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown, Marsai Martin, and Laurence Fishburne.
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 — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: ABC has renewed Black-ish for a second season.
Final season averages: 2.28 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.10 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. 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 Black-ish TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
put fresh off the boat in the 8 pm wednesday spot and you have 2 hours of great comedy
Mr. Fishburn should have stayed on CSI. He is an actor and Blackish is low class.
Love this show
Blackish is funny. My family of 4 (13, 15 yr old boy and girl) loves this show. It’s witty, the characters are likable, and the basis of the show unique. Hope it sticks around. To those who think it’s racist, c’mon, take a joke, lighten up please. It’s meant to be funny. Btw, we are Caucasian.
Please watch Cristilia ch. 7 8;30 Fri. this is funny, clean and light. Why does
the father always have something to say about white people????? its not funny.
Do not cancel this show. The demos are discouraging but this is a courageous hysterically funny show. Every single character is hilarious and the acting is awesome!!! It is laugh out loud funny. Please wok to help the audience find this show. It is the best new TV comedy going.
I love the show!!!! So funny!!! Please! No!!! It’s not racist. I’m white. Learn to laugh people! If it does I hope cable picks it up.
Black’ish is hilariously funny. As a 40 y/o male, I can relate with Dre. The mama/wife issues, the middle age crises. The “keep it real” vs. “real life”. I mean this show has been laugh out loud all season. This show should be placed in a “family block” along with “The Middle”, “Modern Family”, and another funny favorite of mine, “Fresh of the Boat”. Everyone isn’t going to relate to EVERYTHING. However, if you get over the “stereptypes”, black’ish has some universal themes.
Anthony, I agree, all the family sitcoms should all be together on the same night – The Middle, Fresh Off the Boat, Modern Family, The Goldbergs & Black-ish & each should have a 1 hour show alternating weeks. Who ever is making the decisions for these shows, isn’t doing a good job since they want to cancel mostly the ones that features the non Caucasians after a few weeks. This seems to be a pattern with these decision makers. Put Fresh Off the Boat back on Wednesday night & stop trying to scramble the days its on so you can… Read more »
Black-trash is racist…You want a funnnnny clean show Fri. Ch. 7 8:30…….why don’t you people see through this show. The father bashes whites ever chance he gets…………..
Sorry, the show on Fri. is Cristilia…check it out.
Are you watching the same Black-ish as everyone else is? Maybe you should stop taking whatever it is, contact your doctor for something that will bring you into reality or just stop watching Black-ish.
One of my favorite shows. I gut laugh with every episode. Even the child actors are good. Please please renew.
Please do not cancel this show. The actors are wonderful and the show is very entertaining, although the story lines are sometimes stereotypical. We do not have many shows on television that has such a diverse cast and I believe ABC does a good job with diversity. I think if shows like revenge are still on we can definitely save “blackish”.
The people that don’t like Black-ish & the ratings, you would think they’d stop watching & turn the channel to something of their liking. Opfatbutt, have you ever heard, “If you can’t say something nice? Don’t say anything at all!”?
Renew the show its wonderful
the show is terrible, it should be cancelled
Well they’ve managed to lose almost half their viewers in just 6 months 10.85 million to 6.43 million. Doesn’t look like I’m missing anything.
