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?

My husband and I just love this show “The Good Guys” it’s a breath of fresh air. It’s very entertaining and funny. The characters are great and well suited for this show. Please bring it back.
My husband and I love this show. Please keep it running, it’s funny!
I love this show!!! The comedy of 2 cops that are always doing the wrong thing and then ending up solving the crime is great. I love both actors. I don’t watch much TV, but I always looked forward to watching this show.
My husband and I LOVED this show! Laughed out loud at EVERY episode. Please don’t cancel.
Oh my Gosh don’t cancel this one yet. I started it from the beginning this summer and could see how well the writing and the acting was developing. This was just a have to see for me buy the last few shows for me. Give it more of a chance please.
I love this show, I think that the time slot is up against Two and a half men and that is a big mistake. Is House coming back to Monday nights at 8:00 p.m. that will make a good lead end to the Good Guys I think that should think about the time and date they have it on.
I LOVE the show i hope it comes back and never goes away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved the show – was disappointed when it ended early.
I really like this show! It’s not REALITY t.v. A good funny show my wife and i watch. I’m only 38, it reminds me of the A team or Hardcastle and Mc Mormick, or any 80’s sitcom but with the flash forward twist then showing how they got there! I don’t watch much t.v. but I do watch this!
This is an outstanding show. Very original and always funny!
The reminders to the 70s is great.
What is the story with Foghat?
One of the funniest and most cleverly devised shows I have seen in a long time. My wife totally agrees.
I’m eagerly anticipating its’ return in the fall and look forward to it being renewed.
My husband and I really enjoyed this show it had humor and not all blood and guts. hope it continues.
Really enjoyed this show. The loacation, the cast, and the flashbacks are great. Hope it gets a good time slot and picks up viewers.
I love love love this show!!!
I might have watched this show if it were filmed in Los Angeles. Filming it in Texas makes this series a non-starter for any Californian who is tired of runaway production. Have you seen the size of the California state budget deficit?
