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?
Bring it back please
My wife and I loved this show so much! Greg Kinnear and all the characters on the show were so human and wonderful to watch. Great plots too! A really different show that should be given more time to catch on.
What! Must say I was confused with the Mammo. episode and knew the mayor was dead already!
Anyway, it’s a shame if this doesn’t go into another season! Great show! What’s happening with TV? All the shows we like never seem to make it!
I love the show. I haven’t watched a series in years. I couldn’t wait to watch it on Thursdays. Then it wasn’t there. I didn’t realize they changed it to Fridays until a couple of weeks later. Then it was gone again. I agree with the others that it had great acting, varied story lines and characters and could have gone on for years. Love Greg Kinnear, of course.
Do not cancel Rake!! It is so much better than reality show . Besides Ufc I feel rake is the best show on Fox.
DONT CANCEL!!! This show is great! Cast well, written well…what else is there?
rake is a excellent show please keep it on
Please do not cancel this show!!!!!! It has an awesome cast…Greg Kinnear leads this cast and is spectacular as a hilarious, raunchy, one eyed, selfish, crazed lawyer. It is such a well written show that I actually cannot wait to watch!!! Give it more of a shot than just a few episodes!!!
How do I sign up to bring back Rake!
I agree. Rake is awesome. The cast is great. Greg K is great in all shows movies he plays in. Why is it cancelled? Fox Wake up. If 2 Broke Girls can stay on the air Rake should play for 10 years.
Rake is an awesome show that should not be cancelled. The story line is excellent, the cast all p,ay their characters great and they have a lot of different story lines to work with.
Fox didn’t seem to promote it good and most of bounced its time and day slot around 3 times. That’s not good for any show in it’s first season. Hopefully we get to see more seasons of Rake
Rake is the first Television series in years with a perfect cast, perfect lead in Kinnear and the most imaginative writing produced in decades. Another reviewer suggested that FOX can not handle their own creation. Would not surprise me at all. This show deserves a real chance. If we could find it we would support it!!!
Love Rake and Greg Kinnear. You guys need to at least give it 2 seasons to catch on!
So happy to see that RAKE is on TV tonight. It’s a terrific show–love Greg Kinnear and
the rest of the cast. I think because it is on FOX a lot of people just didn’t watch it.
I know my adult kids had no idea what show I was talking about.
Great show…..bring it back!
We love it. Don’t cancel.
