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?

The show is the funiest, the wife and Enjoy it soooo much and we miss it. Can’t wait for the next eleven.
I LOVED this show. I did not realize it was competing with the closer which is my other favorite show. I record both shows and watch on my schedule. Even my sister who watches almost no TV loved the good guys. Please please please bring this wonderful show back. I too am sorry I did not keep the recordings. They will become classic. I loved both stars. They were extremely funny from the get go. At least I got to state my loyalty. Thanks
My whole family loved this show – even the teenagers!!! We miss it and hope Fox makes the right decision and keep the show going.
I really like The Good Guys and I have talked to lots of people that do. I wonder if the system they use to estimate ratings needs to be updated. I do hope they keep the Good Guys on.
I really liked this show. Its funny, good plots and a simple sort of love tryst to keep the girls engaged. I would really like to see it stay!
Love, love this show. It’s 8pm on Monday evening, just checked to find out why it’s not on. Please do not remove this show–it’s hi-larious. Everyone I’ve introduced to it loves it. Of all the shows on FOX, pls. don’t nix this one.
Love the show. Please bring it back!!!!!!
Bring back the Good Guys. The reason their viewers was low, is because it was at a bad time slot. It’s one of the better shows on TV, even though I also love the music and dancing reality shows. So much talent in our country. I’m looking forward to their Friday time slot. I think it’ll work much better.

Love Good Guys! My entire family & their families watch it! Please bring it back. Can’t account for other peoples’ lack of taste!!
I love the Good Guys. In fact, I watched it and waited for the Closer episodes to show up on TNT On Demand. I think it would make a great Friday evening show. It is just so much fun to watch.
I love good guys! Why would fox take it off the air??????? The older cop was so funny! We watched it EVERY WEEK. It was the only show we looked forward to. Please bring it back.
Me and my two grown daughters watched this show every week…I HATE all the reality TV shows!! This was such a great show.Please bring it back.. If I had known that you were taking the show off the air, I would have recorded it. My computer is slow, so I can’t watch it on the computer. Now, I just turn my TV on the Game Channel and play Skip-Bo or Uno…Much better than those stupid reality shows. I have DirectTv..I enjoy my satellite, but sure do miss The Good Guys!!
Thank you for your time, Sheila Moore
Please bring back the show,,,The GOod guys!! I miss this show soooooooo much….Please advise me when it comes back on..The computer says, September 24th!!! This is one of the best series that I have seen in many many years!! Please bring the show back…THank you, Sheila Moore 8-23-2010..
Loved ,loved, loved Good Guys. problem was that it was opposite “The Closer”!!!!! SOOOO we taped Good Guys. great writing . Great casting. WE were telling everyone about it and then couldn’t find it. Didn’t realize it was taken off early.
“Good Guys– The closer____ The Good Wife best shows on T.V. Anymore CSI, REality shows and I will gag. We just shut off the T.V. or watch Food channel or HGTV.
