FOX’s Wednesday night drama Rosewood had a very positive debut in the ratings when it debuted back in September. But, how is the TV series doing now? Cancel or keep it for season two?
Rosewood revolves around Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr. (Morris Chestnut), a calm, collected and incredibly charismatic, pathologist. He’s recruited by Miami’s homicide department and partnered with tough Detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz). She’s annoyed by his constant optimism — until she discovers the reason. The rest of the cast includes Gabrielle Dennis, Anna Konkle, Domenick Lombardozzi, Maggie Elizabeth Jones, and Lorraine Toussaint.
Thanks in part to being paired with the very successful Empire TV show, the Rosewood series debuted to a 2.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.54 million viewers. It was a very positive start, especially when you look at the ratings for most of the other shows on the FOX network.
Unfortunately, the numbers dropped more than 17% in week two and the ratings fell again in weeks three and four. The fourth episode of Rosewood drew a 1.42 in the demo with 5.03 million. Episode five recovered a bit and generated a 1.56 in the demo with 5.27 million viewers.
FOX gave the new series a full season order in mid-October, bringing the season tally to 22 installments. If you look at the downward trend of the ratings alone, that move seemed a bit surprising but, again, much of the network’s other programming is struggling right now. None of FOX’s other new shows have caught on and are doing much worse in the ratings.
A second season renewal will likely depend on how well this series performs for the rest of the season — and what FOX’s new crop of pilots look like in the spring.
For now, it seems clear that FOX is committed to sticking with Rosewood through the rest of this season.
But, what do you think? Will you stick with the Rosewood series? Do you really like this show or is it just “good enough” for now? Cancel or keep it?
Rosewood has a great show as well they have great
cast
I really like the show, think it’s pretty good, much better than many of the stupid comedies these stations keep on for years.
The show is great. Morris chestnut is a great lead and has a good supporting cast.
I truly enjoy this show and esp. Morris Chestnut, his “sister” and “mother” But that Hispanic detective has to go. She acts so tough and comes across so phony. She is honestly spoiling the show. She doesn’t know subtle and it’s like her “acting” is always showing. PLEASE just replace here and try for another season.
I don’t blame the actress I blame whoever wrote her character the way they did.
Cancel it, I think Rosewood rocks but his annoying costar makes me turn the channel.
Rosewood I like and watch when I record the show
when my brother likes Rosewood is one of mind
Favorite show that I would enjoy to watch so
renew the Rosewood.
I really love this show. I hope it stays on for years to come.
Like It! Please continue… It keeps me smiling!
KEEP! Love it! Romance, Mystery, Drama wrapped up in one. All characters are perfectly cast! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!!
I Love shows that feature intelligent minorities, it’s very refreshing to see a show that depicts people of color with out singing, dancing and rapping. Love, Love, Love this show!
I like the show. And, some people in love do touch and nickname. I’m bisexual and don’t find any problem with the love between the girls. I like how the show sets itself apart from the rest of the crime type shows. I hope it makes it another season and more.
Cancel! It stinks!
I truly do enjoy watching rosewood. I love the undertones of attraction, yet the focus on professionalism and detail. The one point of the show that is unsettling to me is the over emphasis of the relationship between the ladies. I am a supporter for the LG BT community – the way in which the show presents their relationship is not realistic in my eyes. There is no reason that in every conversation they must use some sort of little nickname (my baby, my boo) between them or a deliberate hand touch or over the shoulder hug….it’s too pushy.
