It looks like Minority Report, the new FOX TV show, has moved a bit closer to being cancelled. It’s been reported that the series’ episode order has been cut, from 13 to 10 episodes. The show had a poor debut in the ratings last month and the numbers have been getting worse each week.
Set in Washington D.C. 2065, Minority Report follows Lara Vega (Meagan Good), a homicide detective who becomes connected with Dash (Stark Sands). He’s a psychic “precog” who’s haunted by images of future crimes and is on a mission to stop them from happening. The rest of the cast includes Nick Zano, Laura Regan, Wilmer Valderrama, Daniel London, Li Jun Li, Zhane Hall, and Tina Lifford.
The series debuted to a disappointing 1.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic with just 3.097 million viewers. The ratings dropped nearly 20% in week two and then fell about the same amount again last Monday, hitting a 0.70 rating with 2.075 million.
While the ratings and FOX’s decision to cut Minority Report’s episode order certainly aren’t good news for fans, it seems likely that the network will air (or release) all 10 installments. A second season renewal seems out of the question.
What do you think? Do you like the Minority Report TV show? Do you think it will be cancelled? Will you keep watching?
They keep digging themselves more and more into a hole. The more they cancel shows the more people won’t watch. I can’t count how many people have stopped watching live shows and are now binge watching shows that are guaranteed not cancelled…. They also shot themselves in the foot by not advertising this show like at all. I only saw it on the TV guide, noticed it was not the movie because it was only an hour long. They should have added a subtitle too, to prevent people from thinking it was the movie. They advertised the crap out of… Read more »
Give the show a chance, at least through a second season
It’s a good show in a difficult time slot. Thanks to Hulu, I get to watch it. The cast is as good as its competition, so all the “stone throwing” at them is unnecessary. I’m happy with the ten episodes and plan on viewing all of them. I wish another network would pick it up. But then, I had the same hope for Almost Human.
Minority is a great show I don’t know even know why that box even thinking the canceling it it’s a great show just don’t cancel it and renew it please.
When the Tom Cruise movie came out with this title I felt it was too silly to watch,
so I didn’t watch it. Now the TV show doing the same thing and It’s still silly and I will not watch not that anyone cares, but ………….. it just doesn’t make sense. I like fantasy, but not far retched (read stupid)fantasy.
It’s not as far fetched as one would think. There is every reason to suspect that the future affects the present (I know this sound preposterous but it is a QM truth).
I am a member of Mensa, and a USCF National Master at chess, plus have particular talents when it comes to the comprehending of (charitably characterized as) obscure paradigms.
By the way, the movie was much better than the show although I do like the show.
I gave the show two episodes and by the second I was bored. For me, the show is bad all around, acting, script, concept. This was a show I wanted to like but have better things in my life than watch this badly made show.
Really hope it’s going to be 10 episodes and done for Minority Report. The execs at Fox still don’t have the brains and guts to do so and they better pay attention to the ratings (HELLO!). Fox is still taking a page out of NBC’s playbook. 🙁
I hope Minority Report gets a few more seasons its an excellent show
This to me is typical of fox, any show I get interested on their network they cut ones I’m uninterested in they keep… maybe I should stop watching fox all together. For the shows sake I’ll jus watch it on Hulu…
If I was making Minority Report, and I had time to edit the already produced episodes, I’d get to work. Start episode 4 with a message from one of the characters to the viewers – “They have you trapped, thinking you’re in 2015 watching a show on FOX. We’re coming to find you.” Insert other bits of creativity into the later episodes. Might or might not get new viewers, but it would be memorable.
This show is based on a great movie, but they put “tits McGee” as the lead actress so you can’t watch it unless you want to look at partially covered jugs for a hour – with your family. I saw two episodes but seriously, kill off the lead actress and replace her with another one. You’ll have a better show.
Carefully veiled racism. What exactly do you think bit of cleavage will do to your family anyway? You think you can protect them forever?
Racism, really….. How in the world did you get that out of his comment?!
REALLY…….?!
Sounds like you’re the one not getting enough at home !
Good grief.
And what if the new actress wears the same clothes. Will you call her tits McGee as well.
That depends on her cup size I guess. If you put a flat-chested girl in the same outfit she’ll be covered up. No problem. If you put “Double D Debbie” in it then you have the same problem. Don’t get me wrong, I like boobies as much as the next guy but just popping them out in every frame for the sake of showing boobs is crass and playing to the lowest common denominator.
Old school reference actually, no racism involved.
Another one would be -fill in the blank- “LaRue”.

I agree, especially about Backstrom.
Please do not cancelled this show. I am very much interested. Why fox??? I like this show
it is interesting. Allow this show a chance. You all get viewers interested and than cancelled. Why play with the viewers head and than take it off thats not fair at all? You have the right actress and actors. Fox you all are starting to suck. You all are starting to play mind games with viewers. Does views comments count. I vote they continue to stay on the air. Please allow them a chance????
Cancel this rubbish!
I agree
Just as you get into a show they start downsizing and then there may not be a second season. Why start watching and commit the time if Fox won’t do the same for the viewers? Fox sucks!!! I hate that they cancelled Backstrom!!!
