FOX has decided to wrap their summer run of The Good Guys a few weeks early, on August 2nd. The network had previously planned to air original episodes of the Bradley Whitford / Colin Hanks series until August 23rd.
The series debuted to a disappointing 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.93 million viewers. The numbers have essentially fallen each week and hit a low of a 1.0 rating and 3.42 million viewers.
Despite garnering poor ratings during the summer months, The Good Guys remains on the network’s fall schedule. Original episodes will return to FOX beginning Friday, September 24th. It remains to be seen how long that will last.
FOX has lower expectations for summer shows but it’s hard to believe that the network is pleased with the series’ performance. It seems that they’re keeping it on the fall schedule in hopes that viewers will tune in on Friday nights instead of trying one of the other networks’ new shows.
By the time Good Guys finishes its summer run, FOX will have aired nine original episodes. That will leave 11 new episodes for the fall. The real test will be to see if the network orders any more. Right now, that doesn’t seem likely.
What do you think? Do you like The Good Guys? Do you think it’ll last to see a second season? Should it?

KEEP IT, we love it!!
This show is one of the few shows on t.v. that is good and isn’t a stupid reality show that are taking over the networks .We need more shows like this
I love this show–keep it!!!!
My family and I really like this show. Don’t know how it’s doing so poorly in the ratings. I hope the network gives it a real chance.
I love watching the show, very funny and entertaining, it’s what we need more of on TV!
We happened to catch the “finale” and thought it was so hilarious we’ve been watching back episodes online. Bradley Whitford is a genius. Hoping for more!
Geat show. It had a bad time slot. Most people I talked to didn’t even know about the show. I hope it comes back. I looked forward to watching every week, and so did my husband.
Bring it back. We’re ready for more.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this show and I hate that they took it off early.
Just remember people, Seinfeld didn’t do too well their first season either!
Give folks time to find the show and they will be as addicted as I am.
BRING IT BACK! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
Best characters on TV since Rockford Files – WAY better than the over acting on Lie to Me!
This show is a hoot! Bring it back!
This is the funniest and only comedy on TV that I watch. Who are your writers?
Of course the interruptions of advertising are hard to bear (I read a newspaper during).
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
Love it!
I was shocked at the decision to stop airing new episodes of this show early. My family loves it, and has not missed a single episode. Please bring it back!
