A couple weeks ago, FOX shifted their low-rated Rake series to Friday nights. Now, the show is on the move again.
Rake follows a lawyer (Greg Kinnear) who tries to do good but just can’t seem to get beyond his numerous addictions that cause him so much trouble. The cast also includes John Ortiz, Necar Zadegan, Bojana Novakovic, David Harbour, Tara Summers, Miranda Otto, and Ian Colletti.
The series is being replaced by Kitchen Nightmares as of this Friday night. A rerun of the Gordon Ramsay series will lead into the one-hour series finale of Raising Hope at 9pm. Season six of Nightmares kicks off on April 11th.
Back-to-back episodes of Rake will air on Saturday, April 5th, starting at 8pm. That will leave one episode unaired — the sixth installment produced, titled “Mammophile.” No word on when or if that will see the light of day.
One thing is clear however. Despite the fact that FOX hasn’t cancelled it yet, there’s no way that Rake will be returning for a second season.
What do you think? Have you been watching the Rake TV series? Why do you think it hasn’t caught on?
Took a few episodes to warm up to Rake, but now I LOVE it. Greg Kinnear is a HOOT, and all of the subplots are intriguing as well. Hope it doesn’t disappear…..
This is the best show on television… I looked forward to it every week. I have asked everyone I know if they watch this show and not one of them has ever heard of it. How can that be? I think you need to advertise the crap out of this show because the public doesn’t know what they are missing! Please I am begging the powers that be… don’t take away my Rake and Greg Kinnear fix!!!
Rake is a great show full of great interesting characters. Greg Kinnear does a fantastic job in his role. In my opinion, Rake is one of the better shows on network TV
Please do NOT cancel Rake. It’s my favorite, and by far the best, show on TV!
DO NOT CANCE RAKE!
As has been suggested by a previous contributor, it may be prudent and helpful for all of us to post our comments on the Rake facebook page. The exposure may be better and wouldn’t it be nice if it gleaned positive results!

Rake is one if the best shows to debut this year. fox should definitely renew it. One of the only shows we watch on fox
I couldn’t have said it better. There are few things that cause me to roar with laughter. I think Rake is brilliantly cast with Greg K. and the writers are superb. I hope that more viewers give it a try. It would be a shame for this to get cut from the lineup.
My husband and I LOVE this show! Really hoping it isn’t cancelled.
show is certainly as good as most of the other crap on the air.
Please don’t cancel this show. Love Greg Kinnear in this role.
My mom & I loved the show. Not real fond of the choices on wed,thurs& fri. nights, but we looked forward to Rake.
I can’t believe this show may be cancelled! I’m upset. It’s the first show on regular tv (not cable) that came along that was actually fun to watch. I told everyone about it in the office. I’m ticked off
Please have a cable network pick up Rake! Fox is not worthy!
Rake is a great show!! With some of the loser’s they have on Fox they better leave this show alone…….
Rake is better that half of what is on network television. Give it a better night and the ratings will go up.
