Last season, original castmember and fan favorite Archie Panjabi left The Good Wife TV show. How will this development affect the series’ storylines and ratings? Will they rise or continue to fall? Is this the year that the series is cancelled by CBS or will it be renewed for an eighth season instead? Stay tuned.
On The Good Wife, attorney and mother Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) continues to face new challenges and opportunities in both her personal and professional lives. This season, the series also stars Matt Czuchry, Alan Cumming, Zach Grenier, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Christine Baranski, and Cush Jumbo.
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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
2/7 update: CBS has announced the series is ending.
5/9 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
For comparisons: The sixth season of The Good Wife averaged a 1.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.72 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like The Good Wife TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a eighth season?

I think it is a shame the you are ending this show the way you are I am very sorry to see it end. this way!!! really I am!!
this show have the same rating than “GOT” and nobody called “the best show in the history” and most ppl in the world doesnt know that exist lolo
I hate to see this show as to be canceled, I think there is more to be seen in this venture, and sadly i see it will go without showing anything more to the Good Wife as we have all gotten to know her.
Don’t cancel this smart compelling well acted show!
I wish there was something that could be done to keep this show on line for all to see I have loved it so very much! Sad to see it go, can you put on Netflix, or something to keep us all happy!? Why has CBS taken it off the air???
If cbs is still going to drop this show I strongly suggest they consider selling it to Netflix or another network. It is a cool show and should keep going.
I like this show and if it does gets cancelled by cbs which I think is a mistake I strongly suggest they sell it to Netflix, Amazon or USA network as it is a cool show.
The show is not cancelled. It is ending. Queen Juilanna has had her fill. The show runners are leaving as well.
It would be great to see a show based around the firm. Something similar to how the spun Boston Legal out of The Practice.
I love this show, please don’t cancel it
12/13/2015- Quantico had 4.557M Viewers. ABC renewed. 3/3/2016.
12/13/2015- The Good Wife had 8.493M Viewers. CBS cancelled. 2/7/2016.
The production is shutting down. The show is ending, not cancelled. And personally I will miss it.
Whether a show is cancelled or renewed depends on how well it does compared to other shows on the same network. It’s irrelevant how well a show on another networks does. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend gets 0.8 M viewers, 1/10 the viewers, and the CW renewed it.
The creators had a vision for the ending. It has nothing to do with the number of viewers. All good things must come to an end.
In all honesty, did you notice any sort of glow when “he” is around ? Oh, well, what do I know ?
That is good that the good wife is ending
The Good Wife is one of the best shows on TV. The writing team, Julianna Margolies and the rest of the cast are superb. I could easily watch the show for another hour. What is wrong with CBS??
They should not cancel this show.
Not cancelled. Production has shut down. The network had nothing to do with it.
What is the matter with CBS??? Why cancel such a great show? Bad move on their part!
Look at the ratings. It’s not even getting much past a 1 most nights. Angel from Hell was getting 1.3 and she was cancelled. It’s a good move for CBS money wise.
Keep the series going. It is my favorite! CBS has lost their rockers 8f they cancel.
