Telly’s Take
The ratings for this venerable sitcom continue to fall year after year. Personally, I expected that New Girl would be cancelled last year but I think they renewed it because the rest FOX’s ratings were so poor. Will there be a seventh season? When a network show draws as few as 1.6 million viewers, I think they’d be crazy to renew it. Will they? We shall see.
