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.

These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
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?
Love this show! Please renew!
My favorite show….I enjoy not just watching the dancers perform and grow but learning about the choreographers and following their growth is equally enjoyable. And the show is not trying to be something it is not…it is firmly focused on being a dance competition and is respectful of it’s competitors and fans. Pretty rare and should not be cancelled. Please!
We already know what happened to the FOX network recently. There was a financial collapsing incident going on back in February 2014 and they already fixed it by getting rid of this careless fired FOX member Kevin O’Reilly, who caused it.
This show is not the only one having problems because Glee, New Girl and The Mindy Project are also having their own problems along the way.
But since dancing became popular right now, SYTYCD deserves a 12th season, so let’s not procrastinate this petition.
Absolutely renew it! It is the only program that gives wonderful dancers an opportunity for their talents to be seen, enhanced and appreciated. The choregraphy is outstanding
Great show! I’ve been watching is since season 2. Hopefully its renewed for aother season,but the ratings says it all unfortunatly. Even before the beginning of this season Nigel tweeted veiwers to help with ratings. That in itself says alot about how the show has been.
Great show. An opportunity for choreographers, dancers, judges, to all showcase their individual talents. Then we get to vote for our favorites. The arts are beautiful in all forms. To see what the human body can physically do is breathtaking!!! There isn’t any meanness or disrespect on this show. That alone should be reason enough to continue!!! How inspiring to give others a goal. Keep this show on, please.
Renew it!!! It is the most inspiring reality tv show out there! It brings so many opportunities to young people while inspiring viewers, particularly dancers, to chase their dreams and work hard to achieve what they love. And there are REAL role models that come out of this show, not at all like that lazy no good piece of crap Kim kardashian. Please renew it for another season!!! It’s one of the only good shows we have!!
It would be a shame Fox cancel the most uplifting reality show on TV, and BTW, how come it hasn’t win an EMMY yet. The Amazing race ? again ? what does Bruckheimer have on members of the academy. Come on people ! a little imagination please. It can’t be only about ratings. Speaking of, I understand the numbers have droped, but there are still millions watching it (we know Neilsen doesn’t translate reality of viewership anymore), and among them, tons of kids who are inspired to move, create and better themselves. I think Fox has a responsibility here, but… Read more »
Cancel this show!! It is just a bunch of professional dancers getting exposure not dancers starting out in their careers!! So tired of competition dance shows that are scripted!! It would be nice to see actual pre-professional dancers and their real journey in the dance world to inspire younger dancers for the real dance world….
So You Think You Can Dance is one of the most creative and entertaining shows on t.v. I would be crushed to see it cancelled. Keep tweaking the format, but DON’T cancel
My favorite show since first season. Please renew. Please. Please.
Please renew…love this show and it inspires people to dance and to be exposed to different dance genres.
It’s a shame we pay all this money for television and the Fox network
should renew this show . It am excellent show highly entertaining and it brings so much joy to many people .
This show inspires people to dance . It a great family show. It also is one of the only shows that are educational on tv still, and has meaning behind every dance . Not only is it entertainment, it is educational, something that a lot of TV shows nowadays lack. It also inspires young people to dance ,and not be afraid to be themselves ,to have fun ,and be happy and do something postive and not get involved into the wrong crowd. It’s a positive and uplifting and exciting show not all these drama’s and violent shows on tv .… Read more »
