Many of FOX‘s series have already been renewed for another season. What does the future hold for the rest of their TV shows? Cancelled or renewed for 2014-15? We’ll have to wait and see.
FOX shows this season (so far): 24: Live Another Day, Almost Human, American Dad!, American Idol, Bob’s Burgers, Bones, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, Dads, Enlisted, Family Guy, The Following, Gang Related, Glee, Hell’s Kitchen, Hotel Hell, I Wanna Marry “Harry”, Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef, MasterChef Junior, The Mindy Project, New Girl, Rake, Raising Hope, Riot, The Simpsons, Sleepy Hollow, So You Think You Can Dance, Surviving Jack, and The X Factor.
Note: You can find the 2014-15 rankings here.
How does FOX decide what to cancel or renew? They look at a lot of different factors but the ratings play a very large role. The higher the ratings, the better chances a show has of surviving.

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?
I love watching kyle xy on video i wish they had included season 4._
Please Keep… Almost Human, Sleepy Hollow, Dad’s and Brooklyn Nine Nine… I’ve been following those 4 shows…
Esp Almost Human. I’m always eagerly waiting for the next episode.
Love, love, love Bones!
The whole family really enjoys Almost Human! Please keep it on!
American Idol will be canceled. When major sponsors like AT&T pull out like in season 13, the other major sponsors follow? The show ratings are too low for sponsors to continue to sponsors future seasons, Idol is one of the most expensive show to produce and to run on air, they need big major sponsors to air the show, without them it’s impossible, this all come down to Idol producers? Apparently Idol producers haven’t study Idol history and the history of the judges that have been on the past seasons. Why would any producers bring back a judge that has… Read more »
Please keep Almost Human!!! Mondays r a tough night though… Mabe sleepy hollow//following should lead off and AH follows… or move it to ridays… Plus I think Dads is hillarious!!!!
Love seeing so much support for Almost Human from fans and critics. The keyword is indeed ‘potential’ . The storylines are flexible and the series can be a great investment for FOX in the long run if they just give the producers a chance to let the story and audience grow. These days FOX just wants ‘instant’ gratification by ratings, and they can’t seem to understand that people are interested in the characters. This is why I am dreading the return of “24” and other upcoming ‘gritting crime dramas’ (Gang Related). They are making it a point to drive their… Read more »
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL ALMOST HUMAN! This show is awesome. The dynamic between Karl Urban and Michael Ealy is superb, Rudy is hilarious, and the constructed future of 2048 is fascinating and keeps me wanting to see more and more of it. I want to learn more about the Chromes and the Synthetic Soul project. I need to know what’s over that damn WALL! Please, FOX, cancelling this show would be a big BIG mistake. It’s potential is so high and it’s already got a loyal and rather large fandom.
Almost human is an innovative show with great chemistry between the characters please continue it for another 26 episodes.
Love Sleepy Hollow, Bones, and Enlisted. Please give Enlisted a chance!
Almost Human and Sleepy Hollow, Great so far~ both got a unique characters with unique attitude and so far i saw the resemblance is, both story befriend with long ages characters. lol- yes, Almost Human, the Dorian is an old machine while Sleepy hollow Ichabod Crane is a 20o hundred people. and the show itself have its own story.
Great show, please keep it on
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL ALMOST HUMAN. There is great chemistry between Kennex and Dorian. Great, great show and almost as good as Fringe, which I really miss. Glad that Sleepy Hollow was renewed and I knew it would be so do the same for Almost Human too.
I’m with most of the people in this artice KEEP Almost Human the characters are great and so is the storyline. I would love it if it comes on before Sleepy Hollow. I don’t watch Fox because there’s usually nothing on I want to see until this year.
Almost Human and Sleepy Hollow has been the best shows you’ve showed in forever.
Again renew it and give it a chance to grow.
Almost Human…… best show FOX has had in years
watch them cancel it like they did Firefly
