With the help of Harvey Levin and the TMZ “machine,” a fame-seeking family do all they can to become famous in 12 weeks. They’re filmed 24 hours a day but will enough people care enough to watch? Will Famous in 12 be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned!
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.

Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available.

What do you think? Do you like Famous in 12 TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
I knew someone would blame racism on its failure. I guarantee if it was a white family Harvey would have been tougher. Like Obama, every president is trashed and made fun of but when its BO, its racism. The whole show was like a person coming to Hwood and starting from scratch. Where was the talent? The dance audition was a joke, the singing was worse, the modeling was OK, the DJing and novel writing were jokes…..but…..I would like to see the whole 12 weeks play out. I knew with a black family there would be violence and was I… Read more »
another Herve Levin FAIL – squinting douchey dwarf!!!!!
I don’t feel that this family was treated fairly- they should have received their 12 weeks. They were making progress and received no help or support. I have no respect for Levin or TMZ and I’ll be sure to change the channel anytime TMZ comes on. I also believe that there was racism involved because I doubt that a white family would have been treated so badly. I also think that it was stupid to compare them to Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian – they knew this family was’nt connected when they brought them on. This whole thing leaves a… Read more »
I saw the show for the first time on the night it was canceled. I personally thought the older sister was more beautiful. After reading some of the comments I was shocked to discover she was considered ugly. I truly do not believe she would have been beautiful lighter her dark skin gave her a more exotic look. I was only disappointed that they made her come across unfocused. She seem more concerned about hooking up with the guy then getting her contacts in place maybe it was the editing but the younger sister seem more focused. However, it was… Read more »
I am soooooooooo happy the show is off the air it was sooooooooo boring and stupid.I always knew they wasn’t going to be famous especially not in 12 days it sucked big time and they were all talentless morons and jameelah was a complete *****.
For any show to work it takes promotion. Cw was not willing to do commercials. Totally relied upon Harvey to bring viewers to their dead network. The family has talent but was not shown. The show was corny and produced in a bad way. I’m sure this is not the last that we will see of this family.
“Famous in 12” is now “Not Famous in 5”.
July 1st show is their last and there will NOT be a second season…..unless Harvey can find a MUCH more interesting family to work with.
I said it was racist because I don’t see anything boring with just a family trying to famous in 12. If this was just a family trying to be famous in 12, I feel that all you prayer haters in social media would not have said the things that you said about the daughter behind the hateful things that were said, it tore their self esteem down to the point when they did get at break this week they had a hard time performing. Racism is not physical anymore it mental and undermining and I truly believe that if social… Read more »
They failed because there was no talent in the family.
They were used.
This show is boring!!!!!!!
i watched this show faithfully every week ,despite the fact that the family was so extremly boring ,I kept hoping they would make a turn around , to be famous without major connections you have to be amazing and they were just ok , to the imdividual that claimed it was a race issue i find that statement completely ridiculous ,its clearly not a race issue , that is a pitiful excuse ,
I have seen worst shows then this on television and it made it a second season. This family was not given a chance, in two week they wanted them off. If that isn’t racial what is it. If you saw the same show I saw, they gave them nothing to work with, tore them down so bad their so call social media that when the family got an opportunity they were numb and was not able to perform their best. On top of that, they cancel the show. It is what it is, because I just started watching the show… Read more »
Not about race. About talent. I mean – total lack of talent. The show was boring.
What is so bad about the show accept that this is a black family who is trying to get famous in 12 weeks. For watchers who say terrible things about them and tell there daughter that they are acting like a ***** is really something. You know the ones that are against this show just like they did with American Idol when blacks would win now we can’t get a black singer or dancer to win anything on main stream America due to computers and trick cameras. Taliaah did a great job dancing in her element, give her a break… Read more »
Um like 4 of the 6 winners of the voice where black so don’t say black people can’t win any thing in mainstream America
Cancelled it
Keep it on need new dad . Love show
