The Grinder rests his case for good. TVLine reports FOX has cancelled the sitcom after one season.
The freshman comedy starred Rob Lowe as a TV lawyer who moves back to his hometown to practice law for real with his attorney brother (Fred Savage). William Devane, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, and Natalie Morales also starred.
Though the premiere performed well in the ratings, numbers dropped over the course of season one, with the show receiving an average of .75 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 2.176 million viewers.
Rob Lowe confirmed the cancellation on his Twitter today:
#TheGrinder was not renewed by @FOXTV It was unapologetically original, smart, funny and had a murder's row of talent. #GrinderRests.

What do you think? Did you watch The Grinder? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
I really enjoyed watching The Grinder…I’m sorry FOX didn’t give it a little more time. Seinfeld didn’t do well it’s first season but look at what happened to it. The show was goofy…funny…and easy to watch.
I loved this show! What the heck?
But what if it wasn’t cancelled?
This show is awesome. Should not have been canceled.
Loved it! Please renew!!!
please please renew The Grinder. This show is so funny and all the characters meld so wonderfully. Just love it.
Laugh-out-loud funny every week. No better sit-com on tv. I can only guess that too few people had heard about it, or that the people to whom it was recommended couldn’t squeeze it into their overbooked tv calendars.
Give it another chance, Fox!!
I really enjoyed the Grinder. I’m unhappy to hear it’s been canceled 🙁
Great show
Will done show, funny and smart. Sad to see a show like this get cancelled but a show as bad as Two Broke Girls keeps going.
I bet you delete anything negative about the show Grinder. It was very good for the first.few shows, but it was the same script week after week.
Was quirky and fun, and the only comedy that ever kept me watching… This is so disappointing.
So sad!! This was a fantastic, smart, funny show!! Please bring it back!
I absolutely loved this show! WHY would Fox cancel such as this? I really enjoyed the chemistry between the actors. Can another network pick this up?? PLEASE?????
Nooooooooooooooooooo! Someone take the axe away from the meat cutter! Every new show I love has been chopped to smithereens. Who makes these decisions? Cats, dogs, gorillas?
I am so saddened to hear The Griinder has been cancelled by a Fox. I enjoyed this show and the actors had such great chemistry. Come on Fox. Rethink your decision. It’s one of the few shows I watched on your network.
