What do you think? Which of these shows (if any) do you watch?
I really like almost Human. So sick of cops, lawyers and csi shows. We need new. Love the premise and has really great possibilities. Please don’t cancel.
Please don’t cancel “Dads”! That show is the best! How can it rate lower than “American Idol”? So tired of stupid reality garbage it’s nice to be able to watch a funny comedy!
RAKE is the Best show I’ve seen in a very long time. Way better than any of the other shows listed here!!
PLEASE DONT CANCEL RAKE! Give it a chance. Everyone I know that has watched it once is hooked on it. Greg Kinnear is so funny…he’s perfect! It’s my favorite show!! It’s being found by word of mouth, very little advertising. But read comments about it.. Please! People love this show! I’m praying it’s not cancelled. ❤️
almost human/ and dads
r grt-plz renew-others not even bothered.
Almost Human is GREAT! It’s new, fresh, and full of possibilities! The writing on this show is superior to many programs out there. If FOX makes the foolish decision to tank it, other networks should jump to it and pick it up. VOTE TO KEEP ALMOST HUMAN!!!!!!
What about Rake?? I love this show! Bring it back!!!!
I love love love Rake! It’s the best show on TV right now! The cast and writing 5 stars!! Please keep Rake and advertise it more. Everyone I recommend it to comes back hooked on it!
We love Almost Human, fingers crossed it gets renewed!
Also well done to Brooklyn 9-9, great stuff…
Holy Crap! You b tripping 4 likin “Almost Human.” They should change the title to “Complete Trash” if u kno what I’m sayin
Renew Almost Human… I love this show..I want my show. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE sucks. Almost human is way better. I never heard of Almost human till i was looking on my Xfinity website. and one show got me hooked.
Almost human is one of the best sitcoms out there. Some of those stupid brain dead ones like the Mindy project and new girl have no place to go but out only so many campy ditzy antics out there in that shallow pool. Thou glee seems to keep singing along.
RENEW DADS…IT’S THE FUNNIEST SHOW ON TELEVISION
Please renew Almost Human – one of my favorites!!!!!
What is wrong with the world thatAlmost Human is in danger of being canceled. Just when i find a show i really like. Please dont cancel
Almost Human is a superb show. It should be renewed immediately. I tried to watch MINDY and found it boring with unlikeable characters. ENLISTED has potential.
