A couple weeks ago, FOX decided to cut the episode order for the first season of Minority Report from 13 to 10 episodes. So, has the show been cancelled?
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 on September 21st to a 1.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.1 million viewers. That was a very disappointing debut, especially for a high profile series that was given a lot of promotion from the network. The ratings dropped nearly 20% in week two and then fell about the same amount again in week three.
They evened off in week four but last Monday’s installment hit another new low — falling to an embarrassing 0.58 in the demo with just 1.82 million.
With such terrible ratings, there’s no chance that the network will be considering ordering a second season. At this point, with ratings this low, it’s very possible FOX execs will pull Minority Report off the schedule earlier than planned. At the moment, there’s only one more episode on the schedule.
While the network has not officially admitted that Minority Report has been cancelled (there’s no benefit for them to do so), it surely has been. Production is wrapping with episode 10 and no further episodes will be ordered.
What do you think? Do you like the Minority Report TV show? Are you sorry that it’s being cancelled? Do you think it should be saved?
I love this show!!! Please save it!!!!
Don’t cancel it, we love it!!!! Save Minority Report please.
Don’t cancel it! We love it! And we all just discovered it–we stream everything on hulu so maybe that’s why you aren’t counting us as viewers. If it does get cancelled then I hope that Netflix picks it up. It’s a fun show and I’m hooked already.
Show is disappointing. The main actress try’s tooooo hard and always wears the same cloth, which I hope that in the future the detectives won’t be wearing workout pants and a leather jacket. It’s predictable.
This a good show I was looking forward to watching it every Monday night!! Yall killing on this one!!
It’s a great show it don’t need to be cancelled!
I truly loved the show. But with my schedule i couldn’t be home to watch it. Every Tuesday at work i really looked forward to watching it on demand
I’ll be sorry to see the show go. I enjoyed it. Very creative, great tech.
Love the show , so dissapointed it wasn’t given a chance.This show needed just little tweeking,more love interest, past crimes consequential resolve, more cool gadgets. Twins
could have super powers like telepathy, going to other dimesions etc.
I had no idea this show was on. I’ve seen two episodes now and I really like it. Hope it’ll return for a second season.
This is the only show that I made sure I watched every Monday night. I loved every episode. This is very disappointing that this show didnt make the cut. They need to give the show another chance.
I’m glad they’re taking that show off the air! Wasn’t creditable enough for me. Plus they were trying to make a political statement on their pilot episode. With the whole Washington Redskins name controversy. Very unnecessary,try a cheap way to get some buzz! Failed at it miserably! Good riddance to minority report,we hardly knew you!
I love this show. It’s the only show I’m watching this fall. The main two characters are great. I love Dash and Vega’s chemistry off each other. The action could be spicier as far as chases, fights, and romance go, but it’s been over all very good an enjoyable. Plus it seems to building nicely towards the mid season/series finally. It’s only flaw is that it moves like a typical crime drama some times, but they could easily move away from that with some very small tweets. Witch is why they should give it an other chance. A different time,… Read more »
I was not aware of the show’s timeline until later weeks. I f you add more intrigue and action, I think it would have a significant increase in the ratings. I think you should give it another try.
Extremely disappointed in Ithe cancellation of this show! Thought it was well written and acted!! Why not give it another chance! Change its time or day, since it’s having a problem!
