After 30 years, Robin Williams has returned to television in The Crazy Ones. Will his new show measure up to CBS’ high ratings standards for their sitcoms, or will it be cancelled like so many others? Time will tell.
The Crazy Ones follows an unorthodox ad agency executive (Williams) and his partner and daughter (Sarah Michelle Gellar). The rest of the cast includes James Wolk, Hamish Linklater, and Amanda Setton.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

It’s too bad this great show was canceled.
RIP Robin Williams.
This show is quick paced humor that I have not seen in years. This show had to be watched by people with quick minds. This makes this show….love it…..or do not understand it. I guess the majority fell into…i do not understand category . I guess the category ..do not understand ..must have a simpler. slower paced and explain to me what happened.
