FOX has officially cancelled the Rake TV series. The news comes as no surprise and leaves the dark comedy with one episode unaired.
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 show got off to a poor start on Thursday, January 23rd, and the ratings dropped lower in subsequent weeks. After seven episodes, the network sent the series to Friday night where the ratings got much worse — even by Friday night standards. FOX aired two more installments on a Saturday night and has yet to release the final episode.
What do you think? Do you think this show sould have been cancelled? Are you sorry that there won’t be a second season of Rake?
bring it back
I really enjoyed the show. It was a great show
My husband and I enjoyed Rake and looked forward to the show each week. Please return to the air.
Please put it back, my whole family loves this show!! It definitely deserves a season 2…..!!!
Ditto that! Loved it
This show needs to come back.. No more reality television please
Oh so true, hate reality shows, unless your talking about the voice! So sick of the crap that’s on tv, Rake was aWinner!
Why do they take the better shows off so fast, after moving them around so you can’t even watch them if you want to. Bring Greg Kinnear back. He is a great actor and would have done well with this show, given a chance. He was so good in As Good As It Gets.
I liked this show. One of the better new shows to come out among a lot of garbage. FOX should have left it on to pick up steam. They cancel shows way to early.
I really liked that series. It was funny, entertaining and different, I wish fox would bring it back .
No! it should not of been canceled! We loved the show.
It was one of the better shows on tv. I am always ammazed how the good shows get cancelled when there is so much garbage still on.
I loved the show. It was smart and funny. I am so sick of seeing “reality tv” in the line up. I miss real TV. Greg Kinnear is brilliant.
Why won’t Fox release the DVD – I loved the show. If I’m wrong, where can I buy a Region 2 one?
It was great show
It never fails. Shows I like get cancelled while the most idiotic braindead shows continue to pollute the TV schedule.
It was great show
I THOUGHT AT WAS GREAT, SAD TO SEE IT CANCELLED.
