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?
Surviving Jack it’s the only good sitcom right now, don’t cancel this show!!!
Bring the show back. So disappointed it’s canceled
The best show I’ve seen since wonder years narrating is awesome and the writers nailed it please do not give up on the show it is the biggest mistake you make.
Call me old-fashioned but this is has been the best show sense wonder years do not cancel it because you have many people remember classic shows like wonder years and this could be the next best thing. The writers nailed it. Don’t make a huge mistake and advertise it more. Never laughed as much before the show is brilliant.
This show clashes with greys anatomy, which happens to be my favorite show for the past 12 years and I still don’t miss surviving jack. Fox is making a big mistake by canceling…
I can’t believe you guys are canceling this. Me and my 2 teenage sons love ktu watch this show. Love …love…love Christopher melons as jack. Excellent show.
Sorry Christopher meloni…spell check….argggg. Anyways big mistake again… I can’t stress that enough…
No!! they can’t cancel this …. I like this show I love Christopher Meloni
BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
I am very upset that they are NOT giving Surviving Jack another season. I believe that was one of the funniest shows on TV. I even believe it was better than The Goldberg’s which is still not a bad show though. Now a days they do not give shows enough time to air to be able to get more ratings and more people to watch them. It always seems that the not so good show stay on the air but the really good shows always get cancelled. I really wish that they would reconsider putting Surviving Jack back on the… Read more »
dont cancell this showwwwwwwwwwww ……… I LOVE THIS SHOW, bring back surviving jack….. dammmmm you FOX!
Come on! This show is great!
I love this show! There are so few good sitcoms. No wonder there are so many cable channels being created just to play reruns. THIS, ANTENNA TV, MOVIES, and more!
Network TV hasn’t lost viewers, it has committed suicide.
Omg really?? Could they tale some of the reality shows off and leave us some good wholesome shows? I wasn’t embarrassed to watch this with my 13yr old son.. bring it back!!
I love this show I will never watch fox again
