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. I sure hope they give it time for people to get stuck on it. There’s so much competition for our watching hours. I am tired of getting invested in shows and characters just to have them cancelled. This is really a great show and has all the right elements to succeed if they keep it in s good time slot and let things develop. Morris Chestnut is awesome and it is s boon to get him and he totally sellz Rosie with all his eccentricities!
I like it but because it’s fox I can’t catch it on demand. We don’t get fox on our demand. I often miss week night shows because of work schedule.
Rosewood is n fox Wednesday night and they have a great show and because of that the family likes the show.
Keep it
Keep
EDDIE
I find the cases to be intriguing and the characters interesting on the way they review the issues at hand and come up with thier own way of resolving the issue.

Rosewood is not only entertaining but it really sends a very positive message about women both in the Sciences and,law enforcements . I am a 38 male and would lke to see the show say on the air. If I can be of any help from a marketing stand point. Don;t hesistate but keep this one on the air,,,,,,
Keep it!!!! MY husband and I love it.

Hope that Fox will continue with the show
because it is a great show.
This is my favorite show on television. Rosewood is definitely a keeper. Give this show a chance to gain in ratings because it is very well written. It just needs a chance for the word to spread.
I watch “Rosewood” love the show. Keep the chemistry going with the Detective and renew for another season
