What a different a day or two can make. After cancelling Breaking In late on Tuesday night, FOX is reportedly reconsidering the decision.
FOX is in talks with Sony Pictures TV (the show’s studio) to find a way to possibly bring it back for a second season. No decision is expected to be made until after next week’s upfronts.
Breaking In debuted in early April to a healthy 3.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 9.82 million total viewers. With the exception of the fact that it lost a large percentage of the American Idol lead-in, that looked very good. The following week, the series fell 26% to a 2.6 rating and 7.79 million viewers.
Ratings fell a bit after that but seem to have evened off at a 2.4 rating. It’s the sixth highest-rated scripted series currently on the network and outperforms the network’s other two live-action comedies. Of course, it also has the best lead-in audience on television.
If Breaking In does get a renewal, this will be the second time that the Christian Slater comedy has cheated death. FOX initially passed on the Breaking In pilot last year but execs changed their minds and gave it a greenlight later on.
What do you think? Does Breaking In deserve a second season to prove itself?

Love the show. Keep it!
Me and my dad absolutely love this show! It’s one of the greatest I have seen in a while. Please please please bring it back on!!!!!
Please, please don’t cancel this show!!! I’ve watched the last four or five episodes and can’t believe I just caught on to it! It is so hilarious, my teenage girls even enjoy watching it with me!
Please keep this show. It’s hilarious and the cast is awesome. You could stand to lose the douchy guy, but even if u don’t, I’d still watch. 😀
Please save this amazingly funny show!!
I think Breaking In would work very well with Raising Hope as a block of comedy. I love both shows. They are smart, witty, and quickly paced, with gifted comedians in ensemble casts that meld together seamlessly.
This is one of the few we can all watch together and enjoy for it’s humor, quality cast, and good writing! Please keep it on
Braking in is a great show. It’s the best one on television right now, and should get a second season. The only reason the ratings went down when they switched the show from wednesday to tuesday is because they didn’t tell anyone they were moving it, so they didn’t know to watch it. It is very awesome and deserves a second season.
Breaking In Should Be Renewed For A Second Season Due To The Fact That It Is Original And The First Show Fox Has Had In The Last Four Years That Actually Makes Everybody I Have Shown Laugh It Would Be A Tragedy To Not Renew It
The show is really silly, but that is what makes it so great. After working all day and then sitting on the edge of my seat for an hour and a half of Idol, this show is the best medicine. Its not a cartoon, its not a reality show, it’s just a really funny show. The characters are crazy and strange at the same time, the concept of the business they work for is interesting and Christian Slater, is a doll. I liked the other 2 shows he was in, but I think that this is his perfect character. The… Read more »
Keep it please
Keep Breaking In, it’s a great show! LOL funny!
I LOVE this show. It would be a tragedy if it doesnt make it to a season 2. Especially as it hasnt even made it to the UK yet, i watch it online and it is great. How can they justify cancelling a show before it has been seen by both a US and a UK audience?
Sasquach!!!
I think Breaking In is so well written the wit and timing of the characters reminds me of the show Arrested Development which shouldn’t have ben canceled either please keep this show on!
Absolutely, my wife and I are extremely tired of all the unrealistic crime shows that consume the week. We watched the first episode of Breakin_In and we were hooked. The characters are brilliant and the nature of the show is simply entertaining. As soon as I find something I like, it gets dropped. Keep Breaking_In going please!
