Despite mediocre and poor ratings, Parenthood managed to escape being cancelled for years. But now, NBC has decided to end the show with season six. Will the ratings rise in the final year or will they drop even lower? Will they regret the decision? Stay tuned.
Parenthood follows the lives of the extended Braverman family in Northern California. The large ensemble cast includes Bonnie Bedelia, Joy Bryant, Tyree Brown, Max Burkholder, Erika Christensen, Lauren Graham, Miles Heizer, Sam Jaeger, Peter Krause, Xolo Mariduena, Craig T. Nelson, Monica Potter, Savannah Paige Rae, Dax Shepard, and Mae Whitman.
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.
1/30 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The fifth season of Parenthood averaged a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.98 million total 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 Parenthood TV series? Do you agree with the decision to end the series? Should there be a seventh season or is this the right time to end the show?
One of the best shows ever
I am so disappointed to see such a “real TV” series end like this one. To me this was real TV. I felt like I was watching my own family. I found it to late on Netflix like a lot of others and am pretty heart broken that…that’s it. I don’t even know if there’s anything out there comparable to this show! What a devastating “show hole” I’m in lol.
Please bring Parenthood back!! If not to NBC maybe as a Netflix series:). I love the cast! Couldn’t be better, wish you didn’t kill Zeek in the end too!
I think people want to see more of this type of show. No cops no lawyers no doctors just a family who love each other dealing with each other and issues as they come up. These type of shows used to be all over television now they hardly exist. This needs to change, bring families back to television
PLEASE BRING BACK!!!
Please bring show back!!!!! It’s the only good show that is on tv everything else stinks!!!
This show and the cast of characters and the storylines could have gone on forever and certainly more than the six season it got! I love this show so much that I bought the whole series in DVD and I’m watching it all over again right now. I also believe that they took if off the air with more than 8 million viewers…which seems like a lot to me.
Please bring show back!!! I love this show!
PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK PLEASE OMG IT CNT END ON SEASON 6 LIKE THAT I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH EVERYONE IT CANT END JUST CUZ ZEKE DIED PLEASE PLEASE
I also just found it on Netflix. Please oh please bring it back!!
