FOX has high hopes for their new Pitch TV series but they’ve scheduled it on Thursday nights, a highly competitive night for network television. Can it win in the ratings game? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned to find out.
The Pitch TV show follows the inspirational story of a young pitcher (Kylie Bunbury) who becomes the first woman to play Major League Baseball. Although she’s been groomed for this moment for much of her life, she’s embarking on a baseball career under the glare of the white-hot media spotlight. The rest of the cast includes Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Ali Larter, Mark Consuelos, Dan Lauria, Mo McRae, Meagan Holder, and Tim Jo.
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.
5/1 update: Pitch has been cancelled by FOX. There will be no season two. Details here.
12/9 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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 like the Pitch TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love the show. Looking forward to season 2. Keep them coming
I love the show….since the first episode it grabbed my attention. This calls more to the female audience and unfortunately the ratings are not good and that’s what it’s going to be based on. I would continue watching if renewed….although having jinny and Mike have a love interest was meant to grab our attention but I think it was too soon…honestly that is what people want to see a love interest amongst the protagonists. Hope it stays on air….I personally make it a point to watch.
I love this show and look forward to it every week. Please don’t cancel!
Love the show hope it stays on!
It’s an excellent show. I’d like to see the show be renewed for another season and see where the character development goes. Fox needs to look beyond the ratings at this point.
Stop removing my posts. Next week is the last episode. You should be happy to have someone who speaks the truth on this board. It didn’t work. There’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Love the show! Hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
Renew….Thursday night is fine here,,,,actually not too much competition. Whatever night it comes I’ll find it. I think a love interest between Jen and Mike would be wonderful. I think this show is definitely a winner.
We love it….
Renew and put on Tuesday nights or Wednesday I bet if it dont have to compete with the Thursday lineup it will get better ratings. I prefer this to most of the Thursday shows minus Rosewood.
Looks like the end is in sight. Maybe Netflix will pick it up. Maybe SYFY will pick it up. It would be a highly rated show on SYFY.
Renew. Great show!
This is a good show. I agree there is a lot going on on Thursday’s but this show is good. There are a lot of young women out there who play sports and can definitely compete with guys on some sports. I cannot wait until there are mixed leagues and women will have the same opportunity for notoriety as guys.
Please renew! The show is really great and I want to see more!
Please please please renew!!
