Despite garnering some critical acclaim, the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend did very poorly in the ratings in its first season. The CW renewed it anyway and has moved the series to Friday nights, where viewership and expectations are lower. Will Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s numbers get worse in season two? Will the execs be satisfied and renew the show for a third season or, is it sure to be cancelled? Stay tuned.
On the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend series, Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom) was dumped by Josh (Vincent Rodriguez III) after a summer camp romance because he felt she was over dramatic and a little bit crazy. Some 10 years later, Rebecca’s a Yale and Harvard educated lawyer who’s been offered a partnership in a top New York firm. She and Josh run into each other and her feelings for him are rekindled. He’s moving back to California and she impulsively decides to do the same. Has anything really changed? The rest of the cast includes Santino Fontana, Donna Lynne Champlin, Pete Gardner, Vella Lovell, and Gabrielle Ruiz.
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.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night.

What do you think? Do you like the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend TV show on The CW? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
SEASON 3 PLEASEEE OMG IM HOOKED ON THIS SHOW !!!!!!!
There needs to be a season 3 please!!! we need to find out what happens to Rebecca Bunch after being left at the altar. Maybe she gets revenge on Josh Chan, maybe she moves on to a new love interest (boss?!?! 🙂 ) or maybe she finally sees the psychiatrist as she really has some crazy problems. Either way a third season is deserving to the characters of the show and the fans who love it!!!!
PLEASE SEASON 3!!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Renew, renew, renew… Repeat.
SEASON 3 PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Season 3 please !! Crazy Ex Girlfriend is something new and different. It’s funny and relatable! I think tho the story between Josh and Rebecca should finally be over because it’s been too long now. I was so happy with Greg being together with Rebecca but now that Nathaniel is being so cute I really hope that they will have a happy end. It would be great to see what will happen but maybe a third season should also be the last otherwise it will drag on. No matter what, I’m excited for this show !!

Really loved season 2! Can’t wait for season 3!!! I love Nathaniel!!
This is a smart, well written show (something that is seriously lacking on TV right now). It lost viewership because it was moved to Fridays and because CW and HULU couldn’t work out a deal. If it moved back to Monday night, I know it would get an uptick in viewers. I binged watched season 2 on Netflix this weekend, and can’t wait for season 3. Really like Nathaniel
I’d love to watch season 3!
Thirs season please..
This show is just AMAZING, i’m glad that they renewed it!
The show may have just been renewed, which was a very irresponsible decision. The ratings on this show are the equivalent of what SYFY shows get. It is obvious that there is nobody at this network who will fire the incompetent people, and FAILURE is ACCEPTABLE here. An absolute disgrace.
Let’s also add that not only are the live average ratings Down from a 0.31 to a 0.20, but the live audience average is down almost 33%. Does that pose a better question of not only why was the show renewed, but why was nobody fired for doing this? It did receive a few awards, but were they for best show? I don’t think so. Obviously, Failure is acceptable here.
C’mon. No matter what the CW puts at 9pm on Friday, it is going to get a 0.3 or lower. Keeping Crazy-Ex at a 0.2 is good for the network’s reputation and having CBS have their share of shows. All for minus 0.1 in the demo max.
It seems you greatly dislike the show with all the ranting… If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Doesn’t make sense. Why would you leave a comment/post on something you dislike? Unless you’re just trolling people :/
You would love FOX Network then, they famous for cancelling shows left and right!! I, however, am thrilled there will be more of this show as its super cute and a very clever idea!! Plus, can anyone say super catchy music!?!?! I LOVE IT!!!!
Please Cancel! Very annoying.
Cancel! Cancel! Cancel!
This show is amazing. The songs are so catchy, the talent is just abundant. Idk what’s wrong with people and why this show isn’t getting millions of watchers
Maybe because people watch this show sober and find it that’s pretty bad, not like you?
Yeah! arrow and supergirl (the most watched series of CW are absolutely originals). Sorry but I find that crazy exgirlfriends is the most original and talented sitcom I’ve seen in years and it’s sad to realize people only wanna see another pathetic superheroe series…
Why would you want this cancelled if you don’t like it watch something else many people love this show if any show is cancelled by and TV production it should be the walking dead they’ve sucked for r seasons straight
