ABC has had a tough time launching new family comedies but, last season, they found success with Black-ish and mid-season sitcom Fresh Off The Boat. Will the latter grow its audience in season two or will ratings shrink? Cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
On Fresh Off the Boat, a Taiwanese family moves from Chinatown in Washington, DC to Orlando, Florida. They open a steak restaurant and experience serious culture shock while pursuing the American Dream. The castmembers are Randall Park, Constance Wu, Hudson Yang, Forrest Wheeler, Ian Chen, Lucille Soong, and Chelsey Crisp.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Fresh Off the Boat TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love this show. It is relevant to any family assimilating into a new community. Many good lessons are taught here. Learning to live in the world including the adults to the kids and with humor and creativity.
Fresh off the boat is unreal!!
I love this show!!!! LOVE!
I love this show !! Please keep it going …. I enjoy the underlying (tongue in cheek humor) sharing some of the Chinese vs. American cultures intertwining and clashing ! Brilliant !!
Don’t ever cancel this show! Renew it please!! Makes me laugh every episode. Keep it up!
I really miss Forever mostly because of the stars. Did you notice the female lead is in a new show or was for one or two episodes but forget what show. Ho Ho Ho Fresh Off the Boat makes me laugh which is all a human can ask for these days. Never saw Leftovers.
One of my favorite shows on tv. Pls renew ABC!
This is STILL on????????? Why? And shows like Forever get cancelled! Go figure.
Forever was a ripoff of several other scripts, and it sucked. So glad that garbage leftovers show was cancelled.
The TV show. Fresh of the Boat should renew for the 3rd season!
Fresh Off the Boat makes me laugh out loud. Thank you.
