The Grinder isn’t the only show from FOX’s Tuesday night block to be cancelled. TVLine reports the network has also cancelled Grandfathered after one season.
The comedy starred John Stamos as an aging ladies’ man who discovers not only does he have a son (Josh Peck) he never knew about, but he also has a new granddaughter. Paget Brewster, Christina Milian, Kelly Jenrette, and Ravi Patel also starred.
Ratings were never particularly high during Grandfathered‘s first season, with the show only receiving an average of .92 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 2.728 million viewers.
Josh Peck confirmed the cancellation on his Twitter:
Thank you for watching and supporting @Grandfathered I'm sorry it's over but I feel lucky to have been a part of it! https://t.co/QqVgY63xBM

What do you think? Did you watch Grandfathered? Do you think the show should’ve continued?
I am so upset how can you cancel Grandfathered?! It was a modern day TGIF, it was warm, funny, and always left you feeling like you wanted more. Come on FOX we need more shows like this! It’s about family and togetherness. I truly hope you reconsider. Instead of look at ratings for live airing of the show, make sure you look at how many people are streaming this show. Like on HULU or other networks. That is what counts!
I agree. And I don’t know if you shows up when it is recorded but that is how I watch most shows.
I think was stupid to cancel grandfather. Everytime a good show goes on tv cancels it. But got all stupid real house and realtily shows. Please continue grandfather so something good on tv thank you
Deberían continuarla, o poner un final real. No un final abierto. Por qué siempre cancelan las series con finales abiertos? Denle a los que la siguieron un buen final!
I loved both Grandfathered and The Grinder! It was New Girl I didn’t care for with her glassless frames. They should have kept The Grinder and Grandfathered together. I agree with the poster who mentioned ageism. I bet if they stuck a couple more shows targeting the over 50 audience they wouldn’t have to lose the 2 shows that mattered to me. Thanks for listening.

Loved the show. Wish they would bring it back
say it isn’t so, I really like grandfathered 🙁
Cancelled? How could FOX cancel this show? Big mistake! There are hardly any good shows on tv right now, finally a good show comes out and it gets cancelled right away? Terrible.
I think it ended terribly with jimmy left sitting waiting for her everyone knew they would get back together
I couldnt wait till next season to see how they were going to fix that horrible ending horrible horrible horrible
Why didn’t you say spoiler alert?
Noooooo!! Please please please dont cancel granfathered
Don’t cancel grandfathered!!!
thought the show had a different story line
Bad move !!!! It was a great show !
Disappointed AGAIN. Truly enjoyed Grandfathered – great acting and characters and relationships really developing. Seems as if Fox is so out of touch with an important part of its audience . We NEED Grandfathered … And the Grinder . Just light comedy/dramas we look forward to relaxing with. No vampires, no detectives fighting crime, no otherworldly beings, no reality TV. . The ratings system they use seems flawed as NO shows like these 2 ever get a chance to continue growing an audience before they’re shut down. I always hesitate to begin a new show I might like as the… Read more »
So disappointed that FOX cancelled Grandfathered. It was a great storyline with a great cast of actors. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed it. Come on FOX give it one more season.
Agree!
I loved this show! I can’t believe it had been canceled! Now what am I going to watch on Tuesdays?
Dang! This show, along with The Grinder, Castle, and I believe Sleepy Hollow, getting cancelled, just took all my primetime shows out of commission. Sad….so sad.
