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?

Hey Fox, I loved The Good Guys. Was wonderful fun. Please put ’em back on. We need something a little more entertaining than those stupid “Reality” shows.
hey, bring it back, I love this show!
PLEASE keep The Good Guys!!! The acting is fantastic and the plots are so funny! I love it!
Man, if you cut all the shows like this one just shoot me. It is so funny! Ithink it got promoted wrong the intro’s did nothing for me ,and ended up watching it by accident. Haven’t missed one since. Keep them on!!!!!Bill
We love this show – please keep it on the air so more people can see it and realize what fun it is to just put your mind in neutral, relax and laugh!
We love this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this show is great !!! planned monday night around this show . love trying to figure out were the scenes are in town .
Also, Bradley Whitford is awesome in this show.
Finally a show with wit and yet depth. The characters are all comical, yet they have a level beneath the veneer or humor. I think this was a better first season than Matt Nix did on “Burn Notice” and I can’t believe it hasn’t caught on – even during the summer. I am glad FOX is keeping it on the Fall schedule, as where NBC would change it’s time slot eight times and not air all episodes and then blame it on the show. If you haven’t seen it – give it a view. If I were FOX, I would… Read more »
Please bring it back. I loved the show…so did my wife. Was part of my Monday night plan.
Matt Nix is the Aaron Sorkin of the comedy/police/spy genre and this show does its big brother on USA (Burn Notice) proud. I can only assume that people were either on vacation or too busy buying guns, attending Tea Bagger rallies and slobbering to Fix Noise to watch this very good program on Fix’s big sister. While I hate to promote Rupert Murdoch, this show does score, and Fox is probably a better vehicle than the Mouse, Peacock or CSI Network.
Please bring The Good Guys back. I literally was planning my Monday nights around the show. I have never laughed so hard, it kept me going through the whole week until the next Monday!
