Though it’s been in danger of being cancelled each year, Parenthood has survived for five seasons. Will it see a sixth year or will this be the end? We’ll have a better idea as the weeks progress.
Airing on NBC since 2010, Parenthood revolves around the lives of the extended Braverman family in Northern California. The ensemble cast includes Lauren Graham, Dax Shepard, Tyree Brown, Joy Bryant, Max Burkholder, Erika Christensen, Miles Heizer, Sam Jaeger, Monica Potter, Savannah Paige Rae, Xolo Mariduena, Mae Whitman, with Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson.
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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/11 update: Parenthood has been renewed for a sixth and final season of 13 episodes.
Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.98 million total viewers.

For comparisons: The fourth season of Parks and Recreation averaged a 1.8 rating in the demo and 4.98 million viewers.
Note: 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 still like the Parenthood TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?
Do not cancel. This is a great show.
My FAVORITE SHOW!!!! Please don’t cancel!!!
I love Parenthood. Best show on TV in YEARS.
Please,Please don’t cancel Parenthood. So much better than all that reality crap.
Please renew Parenthood, it one of if not the best show currently on TV. Yes, I watch Blacklist and like it , however we need shows like Parenthood, shows about heartfelt family situations and values that we can relate to. We definitely don’t need another “staged ” reality show.
Thank you

Please save Parenthood!!! Best show on tv!!!everyone can relate to something.. everyday true real life situations…we need more Braverman’s!!!
I used to love the family values this show stood for. I still love MAX’s story line, but the rest of the story line has gone horribly wrong. There are no family values left in this show. Please take this trash off the TV.
The Parenthood is a great show and should not be cancelled. It held up on the new night despite being opposite of Scandal. It is one of very few family drama shows still on tv.
Please dont cancel Parenthood …its one of the best shows on TV. Its a show with heart and real life complexities. We dont need more reality shows …we need more real life shows…like this one which evokes emotion, understanding and identification with the characters and stories.
Please do not cancel Parenthood. It is one of my favorite shows. I absolutely love the characters and the storyline. Amidst all the tv programs out there Parenthood is truly unique. How could it be bad with Ron Howard involved. It makes me smile, it makes me cry. Please don’t take Parenthood away
Parenthood is absolutely one of my favorite
shows. It makes me very sad to even think it might be cancelled. I love the characters in the show, every one of them. Amidst all the shows out there it touches my heart and makes me wish that all families could share so much love. There is truly nothing like it. How could it not be good with ron howard involved. It makes me smile, it makes me cry. Please don’t take parenthood away.
Please renew Parenthood. It is a show with good values. I hate when it ends everyy week.
