Are you watching Speechless? The ABC TV series is nearing the end of its first season, but will there be another? What do you think? Should the network renew the show for a second season?
The sitcom follows the DiMeo family, which includes no-nonsense mom Maya (Minnie Driver), husband Jimmy (John Ross Bowie), brainy Ray (Mason Cook), athletic Dylan (Kyla Kennedy), and teenager JJ (Micah Fowler), who has cerebral palsy. Cedric Yarbrough also stars as JJ’s aide.
It seems likely that ABC will renew Speechless. The network already extended the episode order for season one and the show premiered to strong ratings in September, with a 2.03 rating in the 18-49 demo and 7.383 million viewers. Currently, the series is averaging a 1.63 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.583 million viewers, making it one of ABC’s top-rated shows for the 2016-2017 season.

It’s a very cool show, Minnie Driver and the entire cast are very funny
I love speechless, it’s one of my favorite shows!
Yes, it’s a great show, love all the characters….especially Minnie Driver!
I’m a teacher and her portrayal as a mom of a Special Needs child is spot on.
This is a WINNER!
I love this show it proves that physically challenged people are not mentally challenge people and mentally challenge people are not always physically challenged Please renew this show I also like the fact that the parents are not perfect and they don’t focus on just the JJ character.
Great sitcom, and educational on what life is like for the mental challenged. Also working in this field, I can tell you that J.J.’s antics are not far from reality.

A great and educational show on the mentally challenge. I work in this field, and J.J.’s antics are pretty close to reality.
Best sitcom since Raising Hope!

Yes!!!! From the first show when Maya had to fight for accommodations for JJ, it rings true. I love it
No, this show is stupid, do not renew.
It’s too bad you obviously do not live the life of living with someone who has a developmental disability. They are people too and are funny, serious and has normal thoughts like everyone else. YES. The show should definitely be renewed.
It,s great, and unlike other shows, it,s got something for everyone and is it perfect family viewing.
