Many Friday night sitcoms have come and gone on ABC in the past few years — shows like Cristela, The Neighbors, and Malibu Country. Will Dr. Ken survive to see a second season or, will it be cancelled too? Stay tuned.
Based on the experiences of creator and star Ken Jeong, Dr. Ken follows the life of a brilliant but unorthodox physician who occasionally leaves his bedside manner at home. The cast also includes Suzy Nakamura, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Dave Foley, Kate Simses, Jonathan Slavin, Albert Tsai, and Krista Marie Yu.
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.

What do you think? Do you like the Dr. Ken TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
Is he coming back or not? Enough fluff and numbers.
I do not find Dr Ken funny. The commercial where he wakes the patient up is, in my opinion, as obnoxious as he. ABC do not renew this show please. However if you need to renew it, please do so without Dr. Ken.
Thanks!
Dr.Ken was cringe worthy horrible when it first started, but it’s actually a whole lot better. Our family likes the whole cast instead of everything Dr Ken (like the pilot and episode1) Tonight’s episode was good! Sometimes it just takes time for a series to find its niche glad ABC is giving it a chance.
I hope they cancel Dr Ken. It’s garbahge
I absolutely love Dr. Ken! I see from comments below that some people don’t think it’s family friendly, I think it fits today’s family dynamics. The humor is current and hilarious. It’s the only Friday night show I enjoy watching. In my option, Dr. Ken is better than “Fresh Off the Boat”, which is stereo-typed. I gave fresh off the boat a few chances, but still have a strong dislike for its stereotyping. Renew Dr. Ken for a 2nd season!!
I didn’t like it at first,but our family does now. Tonights episode was a good one. Glad ABC is giving it a chance.
Stupid show
Cancel the show, two men kissing on prime time? What kind of message do you want to send to the millions of Catholic kids that watched it?
What’s wrong with 2 men kissing? I actually don’t know. Please tell me.
It’s unnatural, it’s heinous and it makes normal people wretch. Keep that sickening behaviour strictly private.
Message: That it is not who you love but how you live – please do not profess to speak for Catholic kids in general. We are taught to be tolerant and accepting and not to discriminate.
This is the best show eveeeeer
Please please don’t cancel this show. I look forward to watching it Friday nights after a long week. It’s fun and family friendly. Nice light comedy perfect to end the week.
jeez, that was hard to watch, it felt like forced laughter most of the time, and horrible acting, plus most of the stuff was over the top and not funny, also too much of the laugh track especially in areas that were not considered funny moments. IQ dropped and some brain cells died after watching this show
Love this show! Dr. Ken is the best show of the night! Put it next to Big Bang Theory and the ratings will be through the roof!
It’s not on the same channel as TBBT.
Worst show in years. Not funny; just stupid.
I think the show is funny. I hope they run second season.
This show is great. It makes me laugh every episode. It needs a second season. If you don’t watch it you need to. It airs Fridays 8/7c on ABC. ABC needs to bring back TGIF. I want Last Man Standing, then Cristela (they need to bring it back. Hopefully it gets popular on Netflix), Dr. Ken, then The Muppets. But I could settle for Last Man Standing, then The Middle, then Dr. Ken, then The Goldbergs.
I have loved Ken Jeong for years, and thought he was hilarious. But this show just isn’t funny. He deserves a better show than this.
