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?
I can’t believe Surviving Jack is not coming back! Bad choice it was so good. The only thing bad was the time it was aired 9:30 ? What kind of time is that! Bring it back! !!!!
So mad what a great show !
My daughter and I love watching this show together, really wish it hadn’t been canceled
I am sooooooooo disappointed in you FOX!!!! This show should not have been cancelled!! It was only 7 episodes! You didn’t even give it time to catch on!!! This show was so funny and one of the few shows I watch on FOX. What a shame…

Easy peazy!!!, love the show then keep posting comments and sign!!!
My whole family loves the show.. It been a while for family comedy like the 70s show, everybody loves Raymond , friends , etc.. Where are the good funny sitcom gone tired if the reality crap! Keep the show please
Fox please KEEP THE SHOW!!!! It is waaay better than The Goldbergs!
This was my favorite show from the 1st episode. Please bring it back for another 15 seasons
I am very disappointed they have not renewed Surviving Jack. A better time slot would certainly help with ratings and I will continue to be a fan no matter what time slot. It dealt with real family issus, great moral endings, but with a comedic flow.
I agree this was a fantastic show and i’m extremely disappointed it has been canceled. Bring it back for another round with a better time slot. I have no doubt it will succeed!
So bummed!! This show was hilarious!!! A show my husband and I enjoyed watching together! Bad call by the network!!!!!!
Typical of Fox. They finally find a truly funny show, good scripts, well- acted, and truly entertaining–and they cancel it. It was one of the few enjoyable sit-coms on tv, not depending on bathroom jokes, free sex and/or booze to be funny. A lot of adults could relate to it, but apparently Fox likes shows that appeal to teenage boys, and stupid teenage boys at that. I’ve got news for them–they replaced it with a show called “Riot”–the only one in the family that laughed was a 7-year-old. Not the 13-year-old, not the adults. After about 10 minutes of yawning,… Read more »
It kinda was going the same route as that 70s show but it was funny would hate to see it go
This show was one of the funniest new sitcoms out. I’m so tired of reality shows on TV.
It should not be cancelled at least give it another season as a shot people were just starting to really get into it. Also Enlisted on Friday’s another great show in a bad time slot.
