In the fall of 2016, FOX debuted its new live-action/animated hybrid comedy Son of Zorn to unimpressive results. Although not a complete flop, its ratings are on the low side and it could be cancelled. Will ABC’s live-action/CGI hybrid Imaginary Mary TV show be a breakaway hit, a mediocre performer, or a flop? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Imaginary Mary stars Jenna Elfman, Stephen Schneider, Nicholas Coombe, Matreya Scarrwener, Erica Tremblay, and Rachel Dratch. Marin Page, Jilena Cori, Jason Cermak, Kadence Roach, Marci T. House, and Jamie Schneider, guest star in the first season. This ABC sitcom centers on fiercely independent single career woman named Alice (Elfman), who falls head over heels for Ben (Schneider), a divorced father of three. Meeting Ben’s kids is so stressful that the very idea triggers the reappearance of her imaginary childhood friend, Mary (voiced by Dratch).
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.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Imaginary Mary TV series on ABC? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
5/11 update: ABC has cancelled Imaginary Mary so there won’t be a second season. Details here.
I actually loved this show…i watched it every tuesday…and when it stoped coming on i was upset…. WTH!! I thought it was funny..
This was a mercy killing. Putting it out of its (and our) misery.
If The Catch gets renewed. fans of Real O’Neals Imaginary Mary and Dr. Ken should go on the warpath. All three of these shows have better ratings than The Catch, and all of them were Cancelled.
Cancel it.
CANCEL PLEASE
CANCEL,..PLEASE. Cannot stand her.
I love this show! It is so funny! who cares if you don’t like the cast because they all play a great role and it is really believable. LOVE LOVE LOVE this show
Please cancel, networks need to wake up and realize most people are NOT Jenna Elfman fans. How many shows has she had canceled??? Quite a few. Dharma & Greg was a hit, but that was 15 years ago!!!
There’s no way anybody connected to “The Goldbergs” had anything to do with this mess.
How can this show be on before 9:00. This is not a good family show at all. My kids don’t need to see a stuffed animal direct an adult on how to have sex. This kind of show is what’s wrong with tv in America anymore, everything is about bad morals. And we wonder why our teens make bad choices with their lives as the grow up. It’s all they see. We make having sex with a bunch of different people, & not treating woman with respect all ok. Please stop making shows like this. I guess I will look… Read more »
FOX needs to find some winners anywhere it can. Thank you for pointing out it may not be appropriate for the time slot. This is what I have to tell people when they talk about moving Law & Order: SVU(which is on NBC) to an 8 pm eastern standard time slot.
agreed and plus the show is just not funny including that weird stuffed animal they got on the show.
Maybe you shouldn’t watch tv these days… Get in that time machine and head back to the 50’s for wholesome enterainment.
It was no The Goldbergs, but it is infinitely better than the show it’s replacing: The Real O’Neals.
This show was so bad get rid of Mary thd stuffed animal and then it might be ok to fet some laughs
