Christopher Meloni had a long run on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit but his FOX sitcom didn’t last. Surviving Jack has been cancelled after one season.
Surviving Jack revolves around Dunlevy family. A no-nonsense father (Christopher Meloni) starts tough-love parenting his teenage kids (Connor Buckley and Claudia Lee) while his wife returns to college (Rachael Harris). Others in the cast include Kevin Hernandez and Tyler Foden.
The series was originally supposed to have 13 episodes this season but the network cut the order down to eight installments. That’s never a good sign.
Surviving Jack has been drawing poor ratings on Thursday nights, following American Idol. The six episodes that have aired so far have averaged a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.35 million total viewers.
The series finale is scheduled for next Thursday, May 15th.
What do you think? Are you sorry that there won’t be a second season of Surviving Jack? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled this sitcom?
To the network:your a bunch of idiots!
You must not know when your bread is being buttered?
NOOOO it’s a terrible choice to cancel! It was an incredible show !
I’m so sick and tired of starting to enjoy great shows for some network jerks to cancell them just because they took the wrong choince to place them in an awful schedule!!! one thing is that the show is bad an another is that the shows that airs before them don´t help!!! they don´t only affect viewers in USA they also affect viewers in the other countries!!! I’m from Mexico and we love this show here!!! but let fox keep their stupid old shows that aren´t funny anymore and the only reazon they are still on air is because, well… Read more »
Absolutely LOVE THIS SHOW ! Our kids are in their 20’s and they love it too.
What is FOX thinking? I look at some of the new shows they’re bringing in and just don’t get it. Such a disappointment.
I am so sorry this show was cancelled, but I guess it did not make it because there was no open sex scenes, no violence, and no one of the same sex in love with each other. Too sad, it was a great show.
I LOVE this show. Actually my whole family loves it. I just found out it has been cancelled. Christopher Meloni and Rachel Harris are great plus all of the newcomers. It is great to see sitcoms instead of reality. The fact that it takes place in the 90’s is also a bonus. I keep telling people to watch it without realizing it wasn’t coming back on. I think FOX should give it another shot, they made a BIG MISTAKE.
I loved this show! It really reminded me of growing up in the 90s. I hope that it comes back or is picked up by another network. Great show! It was unique and made me laugh. Christopher Meloni is a great actor and fills the part well.
What is wrong with you stupid morons SURVIVING JACK is the best show on FOX in my opinion I understand why you cancelled ENLISTED and DADS but SURVIVING JACK is 500 times better than that show. The head guys at FOX are a bunch of CRETINS but they probably don’t know what that is so let me tell you its a mentally defective person.
Fox was RATTLED!!!!!!
This was a wonderfully funny and cleaver show – unlike some of the junk that remains. My family and I are very disappointed that it was cancelled. What every happened to: if it isn’t working in a particular time slot, move it to another one???
This show is hilarious!! We watched as a family every week-please put out back on!!!!
I cannot believe this crap, this show is the bomb, i love the humor and the cast why you guys canceled good shows, same happen with Saean save the world, please bring it back for a secon season this is a big mistake.
Really enjoyed Surviving Jack! Different and great humor!! Bring it back and give it a chance!
Why cancel a great show after so few episodes? It was great! Not enough sex and/or violence? Some of us just want to laugh in this world today and you took away a good reason to do just that! Bring it back…NOW PLEASE!!!!!
Bring back Jack. Show was so funny. Give it a chance
