As you may have noticed, FOX has been having a tough time establishing new dramatic TV series. Last season’s Almost Human was cancelled. Sleepy Hollow was renewed but is now struggling. How is this season’s Red Band Society performing? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Cancel or keep it?
A dramedy, Red Band Society revolves around the young patients and caretakers of the pediatric ward of the renowned Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles. The cast includes Octavia Spencer, Dave Annable, Griffin Gluck, Nolan Sotillo, Charlie Rowe, Astro, Zoe Levin, Ciara Bravo, Mandy Moore, and Rebecca Rittenhouse.

The show debuted in mid-September to a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.1 million viewers. It was hardly a great start for the series. The second week saw the numbers drop more than 15%. A decline of that size isn’t unusual for a second week but Red Band Society didn’t have any points to spare.
Episode three held steady but the fourth installment fell even lower, to a 0.9 in the demo and 2.92 million. Last week’s episode saw a bit of growth, registering a 1.0 rating with 3.165 million. Tonight’s pre-emption isn’t likely to help with the ratings.
Currently, Red Band Society is the network’s second-lowest dramatic series. Only Gracepoint is doing worse and it surely won’t be back for another season.
Unless the ratings keep rising, Red Band Society will surely be cancelled by spring, if not sooner. The network ordered some additional scripts today. If the scripts end up being produced, it’s likely only because they don’t have another show to fill the timeslot.
Hopefully, whenever the show comes to close, faithful viewers will be given some sort of closure to the story of the kids from Ocean Park Hospital.
But, what do you think? Do you like Red Band Society? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Cancel or keep?
Definitely keep the show! PLEASE! I LOVE IT! It just needs to be given more than a few episodes to prove itself! I see great things ahead for this show!
KEEEPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! I am so obsessed with this show and nearly flipped out when it didnt air last night. counting down the days till Wednesday!’
KEEP IT! I love the cast, it has a lot of potential.
Definitely one of my faves!!!! I really hope that it doesn’t get cancelled… Give me at least 2 seasons!!!
I think it should be canceled. The ratings are somewhat low and even though many love it, it is the second lowest rated show.
Keep it!
I love this show! Please don’t cancel
KEEP IT! Love, love, love this show!
Red Band Society could go either way but I’m not 100% sure even though it still hasn’t garnered a much bigger audience.
Please keep it. It is a great show. There is nothing like it. There is to much serious crap on tv, we need something fresh and delightful. The last medical show I liked (and was axed of course), was the great show 3 Rivers on CBS. The point of TV, Movies, Video Games, Books “ARE” to either grow us or take us away into a fun land and we are getting away from that. Look at what is happening in the world. More negative and less positive.
Keep sleepy hollow and red band society!!! I look forward to both shows every week!!
Keep it! It’s one of my favorites!! 🙂
Keep. It i really. Love it
It is the only show that my daughter will get off that computer to watch. She was so disappointed it wasn’t on tonight. Fox would be crazy to cancel.
Cancel Sleepy Hollow already. Keep Red Band Society.
Please keep!!! I really love this show and the characters!
