Last season, because of declining ratings, FOX continued airing So You Think You Can Dance just once a week but the ratings continued to fall. Will they continue to decline or start to climb? Could it be cancelled this time or will it be renewed for a 12th season?
Hosted by Cat Deeley, So You Think You Can Dance is a competition that pits dancers of various backgrounds against one another to become “America’s Favorite Dancer.” Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy have returned as the permanent judges, often sharing the table with guests like Adam Shankman, Mia Michaels, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Wayne Brady, Jenna Elfman, and Christina Applegate.
The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better its chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.11 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you still like the So You Think You Can Dance TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a 12th season?
Tired of this show and I use to dance. Too much contemporary. I would like to see some re-creations of great dances, i.e. Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Ginger, etc. I want to see if those dances can be done by today’s artists.
I love the show so much – yes, sometimes they invited lousy judges that makes me mad, but overall, it is still one of the best reality shows I’ve seen.
I hope it is never canceled.
This is the only TV show I watch – please please please don’t cancel it.
I ment to say I DVR the show sometimes (auto correct)
I have been watching this show since Nick Lazzarini was the winner it’s the only TV show I can watch with my whole family. The dancers make me happy make me cry they give me goosebumps.This show let’s you see dancers and choreographers as never seen before.I watch so you think every week and if I can’t watch it I did it and sometimes I do both just so I can see it over again. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!!!!
I am in the older category and I really love the show and have been watching it with my significant other for awhile now. I do not like dancing with the stars, it is too political and phony. The real stars of the future are the men and women who compete on this very special show. Week after week I get to enjoy the best costume, lighting and choreography. I can think of no other show that gives me (truth)goose bumps. With all this going for it, what attracted me at first is the way the judges treat people, with… Read more »
I have been watching SYTYCD for as along as I can remember and im 14. I can remember Travis losing to Benji. Its vague but give me some create I was like 2 or 3! SYTYCD will always be in my heart. Me and my sister have kicked my parent off the t.v to watch it this season. I don’t know what I will do with out SYTYCD. Im a dancer so each season the dancers from SYTYCD inspire me to work harder to become a better dancer like them! Sometimes I swear this generation wouldn’t be able to see… Read more »
This show is spectacular. I can understand hating American Idol or Dancing With the Stars. (American is for average singers. Dancing With the a Stars only does ballroom and the judges hold up paddles with numbers?!?!?) So You Think a you Can Dance has terrific dancers who dance amazing choreography.
The fact of the matter is SYTYCD is failing miserably as each week goes by. I predict it will be cancelled. Unfortunately, dance does not always translate in a popularity contest to the general public.The only people I know watching it are currently ravenously addicted dancers watching family, friends, and those they follow on YOUTUBE etc.. SYTYCD is ready to derail off the Hot Tamale Train.
It is the best show on TV during the summer.
I am glued to the set when this show is on.
They should just let it die. Seriously. This show has gotten worse every year. The ratings are lower every episode. Plus, it has gotten trashy. Every season is even more trashy than the last. Let it die. Let it die. Before it just becomes a complete joke. Right now, it is a joke. They keep it one more year it will be a complete joke.
This is the only TV show I watch – it is fantastic.
The station should keep “So You Think You Can Dance”. This is a terrific show.
The Station should not cancel this show. It is inspiring for people who want to learn the many varieties of dances. also to win
The ratings are a bunch of Hooey.
I guess T doesn’t know how to dance and is just jealous of all this untapped talent. Yes, in the beginning they weed out those that most certainly cannot dance but once the talent is chosen it’s a great show.
To Rose, being able to dance or not has nothing to do about how stupid and worthless the program really is. There is nothing worth while about watching fools make bigger fools of themselves on national TV. no wonder idiotic programing is preferred over better programing. Too many idiots like junk like SYTYCD. BTW nothing great about it.
Have you ever even watched a full season, the dancers who are on the show actually find work, and are not making fools of themselves or at least trying to. Unlike Americas got talent or american idol, where we hear sub-par singers with a guitar, who maybe make a one hit single ar we never hear about ever again
They find work as backup dancers for off off off off off Broadway productions that no one has ever heard of or cared aboiut
Cancel this idiotic garbage and all related to it!
