What’s This TV Show About?

A sing-along game show airing on the FOX television network, the Don’t Forget the Lyrics! TV series is hosted by Niecy Nash (The Rookie: Feds). The music competition challenges contestants’ memories of song lyrics. In pursuit of the prize money, they can choose songs from different genres, decades, and musical artists. Then, the contestant takes center stage to sing alongside the studio band as the lyrics are projected on the screen. But then, the music will suddenly stop, and the words will disappear. Can the contestant belt out the correct missing lyrics, or will they freeze under pressure? If a contestant can sing nine songs correctly, they are presented with a No. 1 hit song. If they can sing the final missing lyrics, they’ll take home the top prize of $1 million.
 

Season Two Ratings

The second season of Don’t Forget the Lyrics! averaged a 0.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.13 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 27% in the demo and down by 38% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Don’t Forget the Lyrics! stacks up against other FOX TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will FOX cancel or renew Don’t Forget the Lyrics! for season three? The show did pretty well in its first season and was one of only three summer series to be renewed. Given the uncertainty of the writers strike, I suspect that FOX will renew this show to have on-hand for next summer or even this winter if the strike lasts a long time.
