Updated with the latest ratings for Grown-ish.
There’s a lot of data that Freeform execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are a major factor. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. 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.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
This is so stupid!!! I hate ABC FAMILY all the good shows always got cancelled.. Tv now a days is so boring!!
Chasing life is my favorite show ever. Please don’t cancel it!
I am so sick that you would cancel all the shows that brought me to your channel.
I refuse to go to ABC Faiy and watch anymoe of your shows.
Here are a few that I would watch
jane by desgn, Bunheads, Chasing Life, The Fosters, Revenge. I am shocked that you would place so lame shows on there instead. This channel has gone down hill.
Why am I making to many spelling grammer mistake if people don’t like watching abc family programming shows they can just watch other tv shows
Can you please remove my last comment because it was a werid comment I made
I am so upset you cancelled Chasing Life. I guessI will quit watching abc family so I don’t get hooked on anything else you will pull the plug on.As if you can’t keep your network funded just on the super ridiculos price you change to get into the Disney parks.
Please Bring Back Chasing Life! PLEASE!!
I agree with you 110%!!!!!
So Ravenswood and twisted both had better ratings then the fosters and got canceled maybe of you would have put them.in a time slot and let it there they would’ve done better. I tried to watch twisted but by the time I saw half an episode and came back the next week the time slot had changed and by then it was over. I never knew what time Ravenswood was on so I caught the first episode then couldn’t find it again. Thank goodness for Netflix. Maybe they should pick up both shows.
thank you i really think so too
Ravenswood had very little promo and once I did find it, truly enjoyed it.
I know right? Ravenswood ended up being really good too! I love suspenseful shows and mysteries and Ravenswood was a good mix of the two. I also thought that it was great that even though it was a spin off of Pretty Little Liars it didn’t try and force them to work together the story line was just a smooth transition from one to another.
Very surprised THE Fosters isn’t higher. By far the most influential program on network television.
Agreed! Love The Fosters.
Please cancel pretty little liars its starting to get not so exciting anymore after 5 seasons and still not finding out who A is. How long do us fans have to wait in order to know the who A is? Its already been 5 years
i am with you they take off Melissa and Joey and leave pretty little liars on it is old same thinf over and over
they gave who a is
+john:Pretty Little Liars will be ending after season 7 ends. and right now the show is just about done airing season 6. so calm down theres only one season left to go after season 6 ends.
I say cancel all of them abc family is trash I love the way they try and hide the fact that their owned by dinsey. Cancel all of it
I still don’t understand why Ravenswood and Twisted were canceled. It certainly could not have been the ratings.
Yes it was at least one reason was ratings
This network will die
Please to NOT discontinue stitches. Its literally best show ever!!!
+michelle:Stitchers will be going on to season 2 starting march 22 of this year so calm down it is going get discontinued just yet.
why would u cancel twisted when it had better rating than some of the ones you kept. i love the show this is whats wrong with tv now a days they cancel good shows and keep stupid ones!!!!
Because it lost most if it’s audience during its first season,Coukdnt keep half of PLLs audiences & had low ratings.It started out with better ratings than some of the shows that got renewed but it declined in ratings & viewership all season. Im bit sure if ABCFamily owned it or not mif they didnt theyd hsve no incrntive to renew it with low ratings.I also dont think its got crtitcal acclaim like Chading Life so that s another readon.Secondly quality or lack therif( why do they cancel the good shows but keep stupid ones?”) has nothing to do with with… Read more »
+Brandy:I think they did own it because it is up on the freeform(Formerly abc family app). Iam sure it probably just did not get renewed for a second season because it had low ratings and low ratings shows barely survive in the tv world.
i wanna know about danny and jo’s relationship and i want to know charlie’s relation to the family
