Batman has been an incredibly popular character for 75 years so it seems like the Gotham TV show should be a slam dunk success in the ratings. Will it actually succeed and be renewed for a second season — or will it bomb? Could it be cancelled quickly? Stay tuned.
Gotham is a dark crime drama that tells the early stories of police detective James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and iconic Gotham City characters — before they became legendary crimefighters, villains. and vigilantes. The rest of the cast includes Erin Richards, Donal Logue, David Mazouz, Jada Pinkett Smith, John Doman, Camren Bicondova, Robin Lord Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, Zabryna Guevara, Victoria Cartagena, Andrew Stewart Jones, and Sean Pertwee.

1/17 update: Gotham has been renewed for a second season.
Final season averages: 2.19 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.10 million total viewers.
Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.

What do you think? Do you like the Gotham TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Personally, this is one of the best shows on TV. I vote for renewal.
Fox. Save this show! The potential this show has is only held back by a few writing flaws. The idea behind the show is sound. Stick to the main DC characters and Gordon. This is the key.
This has been an excellent show. Far better than Smallville was (IMO). It definitely deserves to be renewed. While I would have preferred an actual Batman series, this show has not disappointed me. The characters are interesting and are being well developed. I’m not particularly interested in Fish Mooney’s story, (though the actress has done an outstanding job) but I want to see how Gordon works his way to becoming commissioner and the development of the crime and insanity that overtakes Gotham to the point where it needs a Batman. Seeing Bruce grow up and develop as a person is… Read more »
Gotham is one of my favorite show on TV! I have it set up to record so I can watch it whenever I get home from work! I really enjoy this show and I hope this will renew longer. I love all the characters! Love, love it!:-)
Please renew!
We love this show. People complaining obviously have not watched it
Jada is so good in the roll of Fish. We want more, bring it back please!!
Best show on tv
I THINK THE SHOW IS GREA. TRAVIS YOU MUST REMEMBER THE PENGUIN IS JUST A KID . NOT FULL CHARATOR YET…….
Great show hope its renewed
Gotham is one of the worst TV shows taken from comics and the big screen ever. 2nd would be Shield but it is even a hole lot better than Gotham. They jacked up the characters and story lines horribly. Everytime I think of penguin I think of short plump ugly rich criminal not a tall lanky ugly mommas boy who is struggling to make ends meet. Just pitiful then the young version of cat woman just seams wrong. I think that channel has managed to ruin 2 great super hero characters by making a Superman that rarely flies and wears… Read more »
THE PENGUIN IS JUST A KID NOT GROWN UP
Not sure how you think Flash and Arrow are bad. Both are excellent shows, easily the best super hero shows on TV by miles. Agents of Shield I can’t decide on. Sometimes it’s good… others it’s meh… it’s not awful though and still has potential.
Gotham, though… yeah I am not a fan of it. I watch it when there’s nothing else to watch but it’s like ‘last on the list’ by a mile.
dude really?? you have to be at jackass
Learn to spell…it might make it easier to take you seriously.
I really hope Gotham is renewed for another season. My entire family loves it, I watch this show with my wife, 18 year old son and even my 27 year old daughter and her husband love it. I’ve only heard positive feedback from people that I know who watch it.
A great show. I really hope it is renewed.
Great show! Well acted, well directed, well written! A third season is a
must!
Gotham has been creative in retelling the Batman story, but as a ‘prequel’. It’s been ingenious to show how the villains that we’re familiar with came to be the way they were. Stories showing the background of how Gotham got to be a criminal-infested zone can’t help but add to the legacy of Batman. Like many great shows, it seems to be under-rated until you have enough episodes to show as reruns, or sell into DVD sets.
My parents and i love this show. Hope it gets picked up for a third season. Ill be pretty pissed if it gets canceled while that stupid “empire”crap continues to exist.
Don’t cancel this show. I really like it and so does my friends. We get on the phone and talk about it afterwards. One if the good shows without a lot of cursing and nudity
