During the regular 2017-18 season, FOX launched six new scripted shows and two of them won’t be back for the 2018-19 season. How will the network do in the ratings this time around? How many of their TV shows will be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned.
How do the execs decide what to cancel or keep? They look at a lot of different factors but the ratings play a very large role. The higher the ratings, the better chance a show has of surviving.
FOX shows this season (so far): 9-1-1, Beat Shazam, Bob’s Burgers, The Cool Kids, Empire, Family Guy, First Responders Live, The Gifted, Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back, Gotham, Hell’s Kitchen, Last Man Standing, Lethal Weapon, The Masked Singer, MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, Mental Samurai, The Orville, Paradise Hotel, The Passage, Proven Innocent, Rel, The Resident, The Simpsons, So You Think You Can Dance, Spin the Wheel Star and What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage.

A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released. The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing), unless marked with an asterisk (*). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
Keep in mind that the demo numbers are typically what’s most important to advertisers. Therefore, that’s how the networks measure success. Advertisers pay more for ad time on a show that has a higher demo rating. Because older viewers don’t count? No, it’s because younger viewers watch less traditional TV and are therefore supposedly harder to reach.
Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking. The networks take into account when shows air on Fridays and Saturdays, nights when TV viewership is lower.
What do you think? Which shows are you rooting for? Which one isn’t as big a hit as you thought? Are you hoping any series will get cancelled to make room for something else?
The Orville is just the best scifi show. Hope s3 will be made 🙂

Look forward to Last Man Standing each week. Thank you for bringing it back.I do not think the ne blonde actress brought in to replace Mandy is a good patch!
The Passage is really good. I’m going to buy the books tomorrow.
The Gifted is the only Fox show I watch right now. It’s a really good show. I’d really love to see a season 3 but given it’s on Fox and ratings aren’t great I know they won’t renew it. Hoping someone else can pick them up. Season 3 has a ton of potential!
Lethal Weapon needs to be renewed. It’s gotten so much better now that Riggs is gone. He was so broken that it began to bring the series down.
I’m rooting for The Passage!!!! Since day one, I fell in love with the first book. I read each one as soon as it hit the shelves. I was skeptical before watching the first episode. But the preview said, “Inspired By…” That’s when I definitely decided to jump in with an open mind, and give it a chance. Any skepticism disappeared!! The director(s), writers, and producers, and cast take great care to uphold and convey the story’s message, I can’t imagine the level of difficulty, managing to walk the thin line of book to screen entertainment, keeping the story’s essential… Read more »
Last Man Standing is the only FOX program I watch. I hear The Gifted and The Resident are the only other shows worth watching. Will have to take a look.

The masked singer was bad tonight with that Siri voice thing talking couldn’t even hear the singer sing!!! Bad show
I just don’t understand why people love to hate, waste there time with negative energy losers. Now they’re hating because there prediction are not coming true. It funny people who have never watch the show are tuning in. C+3 rating is increase over all over show’s. Lol stop hating and join the best show on television.
You should cancel Lethal Weapon bencause it has no sense anymore. The original franchise is about Martin Riggs’ pain and how his friendship with Murtaugh and his family helped him. Now you fired the star of the show= Riggs (Crawford did an excellent job) Wayans (Murtaugh) is showing an unprofessional attitude and wants to quit, and you’re creating new and unknown characters to replace them? Your rating is poor! The best thing to do is canceled it and invest your money in another show with not a Failed Leadership!
