Nina Dobrev had a long successful run as Elena Gilbert on The CW‘s The Vampire Diaries, but now she’s left fantasy drama and the littlest network behind for a major broadcast network sitcom — the Fam TV show. Can she attract the more mainstream, slightly older CBS audience, and maybe even improve their demo numbers a little? Will Fam be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A CBS family comedy, Fam stars Dobrev, Tone Bell, Odessa Adlon, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Brian Stokes Mitchell. It centers on Clem (Dobrev), who overcame a rough start and is now living her best life with fiancé Nick (Bell) and his wonderful family. When her younger half-sister, Shannon (Adlon), shows up, in need of respite from their dad, Clem and Nick take her in, with the hopes of teaching her how to avoid the pitfalls which once tripped up Clem .
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly on 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. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Fam TV series? Should this CBS TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
**5/10/2019 Status Update: Fam has been cancelled by CBS; no season two. Details here.
The series Fam should just be cancelled. It is totally boring. I gave it several tries. The lines that are meant to be funny are very predictable. It’s like they are trying too hard to be funny.
CBS, please make the upcoming Season Finale the SERIES FINALE! This show is terrible. Weak plot line coupled with bad acting make this unwatchable. Give us something better.
This show is awesome! Best binge watching, ever!
Just because YOU don’t like it doesn’t mean it should be cancelled. This is a well written, well acted show with a solid premise (AT LEAST a full season’s worth), but I know now (April11th) that this episode was the “Finale”. I’m sorry to see it go.
Please renewed season 2 of fam. It’s a anwsom show on CBS to look forward to watching.
Cancel it.
I love this show, it’s funny and very new age, and it tackles more modern and down-to-earth things than many other comedy shows.
Not every TV show can be a hit, but this sitcom is just downright awful!! nobody’s buying it, and the reason why is obvious: Nina Dobrev can’t act.
It’s highly likely to be renewed, because although it’s not a smashing success, it’s not the worse out there, it’s more in the middle of the ratings pack.
I love her in the role.
It’s very little difference between this show The one they canceled ( happy together )for the show. In fact It’s worse. I don’t know what the hell this network is doing but they’re producing same crappy quality is the same crappy jokes.
I can tell you exactly where all the good shows are going -they’re saving them for their All Access service.
That’s how I watched it.
Are you kidding me? Have you even watch the show? Because this is absolutely one of the best comedy shows I’ve ever seen! The cast is awesome and their acting is so good! This is not meant to be an oscar movie, it’s just a show meant to make people laugh, and this is exactly what it does! I honestly love this show and if you don’t, just watch something else, there’s plenty of them to watch, but don’t say that this is not good enough!
I enjoy the show a lot as well. Some people are comparing it to “Happy Together,” but FAM is so much better. It is refreshing and very funny. The humor is spot on. “Happy Together” is a terrible show.
Lol it’s almost same.jokes are bad so is script.if you think it’s different then; You haven’t watch neither of them.
Gary Cole makes this show. We need more of him
I feel a little dissapointed because I am a big The vampire diaries show and I was rooting for Fam to be good since I really like Nina. But I can’t deny. The show is pretty lame, not funny, and I think the cast doesnt have a good chemistry. Nina is funny in real life but as far as acting, she is better off in a drama thing.
I also was a big fan of Nina on VD, but this show is not good no matter how hard I try to like it.
This is not a very good Show and the acting is bad
pull the chain, this thing is circling the bowl
We enjoy this show. It makes us laugh. Good cast!
It’s already doing worse in Week 2 than Murphy Brown, which it replaced. Fam won’t last long.
Gary Cole’s character (cop/father) is the best thing in the show so far.
