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?
I love Rosewood…great show…I like the chemistry between Rosie and Villa. Keep it on.
Rosewood has an excellent show which is on Wednesday night on fox because of that
the show is wached by the family. They like
The new series so don”t cancel the show.
I love this show! Please keep it on!!!!
I don’t see this show making it. It’s interesting to see cases investigated from the view of a pathologist (a modern day Quincy?), and Morris Chestnut is engaging as Rosewood. That’s where the positives end. Detective Villa acts like a 5th grade girl with a gun and Jaina Lee Ortiz’s acting is awful. Why are there so few writers who can figure out how to write a strong female lead? The supposed flirting / conflict dynamic between Rosewood and Villa is just cringe-worthy! Next, what doctor allows his mommy to butt into his work? Rosewood’s two assistants seem to be… Read more »
well, since I have worked in a clinical laboratory for over 32 years, I certainly get what you are saying about pathologists. And yes, the entire show is ridiculous in its premise(s), but Morris Chestnut is SUCH a great actor, this is, to me, his best role ever. And the onscreen chemistry with his co-star is overwhelmingly fun to watch. So I can put up with all the nonsense just to watch what might happen between them. Also, I have been a HUGE fan of Lorraine Toussaint’s since Any Day Now. She is just awesome!!!
Rosewood has the best series that fox has because of that I’ ve watched the show
An the rest of the family loves the show
So renew Rosewood.

Rosewood has an excellent series since I have watched the show
I don’t care for the show. The script, the directing, the chemistry between all the characters is not working. The Rosewood-Villa relationship seems forced, neither can even pretend to be attracted to the other. The two lesbians, the women don’t even come across as people that would converse together on the street. The relationship between the mother and her children seems too Cosby-ish.
I don’t think Mrs. Cosby was ever as intrusive as mama Rosewood, I love the show but in some areas I felt it was a little rushed and sometimes forced too, I think I already said this mildly offended by what Villa did in the pilot ep while interrogating a perp, and I thought they rushed the whole she was okay after finding out that Rosewood was dating her shrink, also after all her “We’re not partners” through each ep it was a surprised to hear he say “We’re partners” in this past episode I think the resolution to everything… Read more »
I’ve watched Rosewood Wednesday night so
Rosewood has excellent show and the rating
Would go up if many individuals watched
Rosewood.
Keep Rosewood on Fox Wednesday night
I think the show will do, excellent
I hope Rosewood makes it to season 2 and many more seasons after that but I also hope the change the day it would do beter I think if it was conflicting with Arrow , and The Mysteries of Laura
Keep it, love the show.
Love the show!
