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?
Renew Gang Related! It’s a damn show it shouldn’t portray cops as bad, it’s no different than a movie involving crooked cops, they exist all over! Real and fictional people don’t be so close minded. It’s an exciting show!
“Gang Related” CANCELLED!!! Great!! Was a poor reflection on truly good cops, so I hope they’re cheering.
Still praying for “24”.
“Glee” renewal – a mystery.
“Hotel Hell” – another version of “Kitchen Nightmares”. Give it 1 yr.
Bring gang related back! I only watch cable but I alway tune in Thursday night to watch gang related.
Hey , I can’t believe the response gr is getting
Who cares people
No body at fox cares a damn
Move on people
GR was simply put …GREAT
So what if we love it …they don’t .
Would really like to see Gang Related come back. I was a fan and so are my co-workers. Not a lot of shows peak my interest. Just give it a chance but assist with better marketing.
I really had high hopes for Gang Related. The show has an excellent cast, but the writing and directing are horrible! Every character is one dimensional, the action scenes are stale, and stereotypes can be found in almost every scene. This show desperately needs new writers, directors, and technical advisors. It really is frightening that people think that this show is a masterpiece of cinema. Gang Related needs a major overhaul, but I doubt that it will happen. This show will probably be placed in a trash bin along with The Arsenio Hall Show and Saint George.
The show was a terrible reflection on good cops, which we don’t need. You’re right about all things except casting – for me, well, no loss. But, let’s hope we don’t get another moronic sitcom or reality show.
TV needs more intellectual content, regardless of the station.
YES!!! PLEASE KEEP GANG RELATED!!!!!
Please renew gang related love it!
I still do not understand why “Almost Human” was cancelled, but lower rated shows were renewed. Nonsensical. I hope a network like SyFy will take a look at it. Typical Fox..they keep horrible shows and let go of great ones.
Renew Gang Related!
Yes renew gr! We need it! Don’t put it on the same exact time as big brothers live eviction episode. Your ratings WILL GO UP! promote!
Renew gang related god damn it
Renew gang related!!!!!!
Please please please renew Gang Related!!!! Love love love this show….
“Gang Related” – yuk. No wonder good cops get misbranded.
