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?
Such a poor call. It’s hilarious! Another network needs to pick it up!
We can always watch again the sopranos.
What is your problem Fox…bring back Jack… One of the few decent and funny shows that was out there. I am at the point of not trying anymore new shows. You just cancel them. Duh!
Just because teenagers don’t relate to this series doesn’t mean that is bad!
Pop culture ruined this series oportunity to keep on making us laugh or behinds off!
26year old mexican that relates to that kind of parenting and way of life throughout highschool
Take off all these stupid reality shows and bring back the Jack! Surviving Jack that is! Not Survivor, or the insulting Who wants to marry Harry.
Screw you Fox! This show was hysterical! My wife and I laughed out loud!
one of the few new shows I could watch with the kids. seems all anyone is doing is trash and mash. Jack was fresh air and it was funny.

It’s easy
I don’t understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is wrong with you FOX… this show was so so so so funny I could have peed on myself… Chris Meloni did a wonderful job of acting…I just don’t get it, I really don’t!!!! ratings of 4 million is way better then 2 million on some shows that you keep!!! its mind boggling and makes no sense at all…. BRING IT BACK!!! give it a chance on a day that doesn’t have other shows that people have watched for a few seasons… of course there going to watch their favorites over a new show…((DUH))
I am so disappointed. This show was great. I never missed an episode. It makes no sense to me why they decided to cancel. It was wonderful escape from reality TV which is so stupid, we have enough of our own reality to deal with. It was refreshing to watch something new.
Bring it back!
Can’t believe it’s gonna happen! !!! That’s truth? ?? Really? What does those folks have in mind? Me and My Family simply LOVE this show!!! We don’t miss any episode!!! It’s so funny and so original !!! What can we do To stop this absurd? ? Ridiculous
So disappointed in the cancellation of Surviving Jack. My boyfriend and I were just saying how much we love this show and how funny it is. Too bad. Just another disappointment from Fox.
Absolutely loved this show. My daughter and I watched every episode and are extremely disappointed to find out that FOX decided to cancel it. Finally a good, funny and wholesome show that we could enjoy as a family. The networks always seem to cancel the good shows and keep the ones that are stupid or have no morals!!
Bad choice fox!!!!!!!! BRING IT BACK
Agreed ! 🙂
