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?
I am so heartbroken. This show is amazing….. Please bring it back!!!!!!!!
Don’t take it away, it’s one of the best shows ever!
This show is a good one . its sad to see this go. A nice family show with no violence. It would be nice to see this show stay on for years to come. These new TV shows r getting ridiculous with the amount of violence.
Best show. Big loss it’s over.
I’m tardy to the party, and only recently started watching this show. However, I can already see how very special it is. Bad ratings? People just don’t know what’s good. Is it really canceled? Restore it! Resurrect it! Bring it back somehow! I love this show! I’m saddened that there could be no more family moments with the Braverman’s.
I am gutted…! I loved parenthood night. ;(
Absolutely need to continue this show. It is a breath of fresh air in a miserable world – with ethics and morals that we all aspire to. I cry in most shows just with the sheer strength of love and every other emotion that is highlighted. Please keep it going – it will be sad to have lost Zeek but I’m sure we’ll manage!!
Another feel good, non violent family show gone!
I’m so tired of networks everywhere cancelling these types of shows, it happens here in Australia too, tax breaks etc run out so they call it quits, it not just about the ratings….
Even well rated show get axed!!
I’m more than upset that Parenthood was cancelled. It was a bright light amongst so many ridiculous and negative tv shows that manage to get air time. I loved the characters and never wanted an episode to end. Shame shame shame NBC.
Agreed!!
Hello There, I love watching the Parenthood show way over in Australia. It is one of my favourite shows. I enjoy watching the different issues arise. It has a feel good factor to the Show. I vote that you continue with another series please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am EXTREMELY disappointed that the Parenthood was cancelled. Feels like the best shows always do. How do they rate shows?
Best show ever on TV please don’t end it
Parenthood has always been one of my favourite TV series. I was thrilled that there would be a Season 6. So why has there been no new episodes since end of January 2015. Or am I wrong in assuming that Season 6 should have continued through the Spring 2015? What do I know!!?? In any event if Season 6 has ended I sincerely hope there will be a Season 7!! The show deals with so many pertinent issues families have to deal with: PTSD, Single Parenthood , Autism/Asberger’s Syndrome (very important and excellently done); medical crises inc. cancer; Infidelity and… Read more »
