When considering ratings, you have to consider that broadcast television has been losing viewership to cable television annually.
I think there should be a season 18 as this season has been including life with COVID (actually very well). I’d also hope that Netflix would pick up the series if ABC cancels it – their 10 episode format is optimal storytelling.
