Rob Lowe and Fred Savage have each starred on very successful TV shows that have run for many years. They’ve also each been on series that have been cancelled. How will The Grinder do in the ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
The Grinder revolves around Hollywood star Dean Sanderson, Jr. (Rob Lowe) whose TV show was suddenly cancelled. He relocates to his old hometown and decides that, since he played a lawyer so successfully on television, practicing law at his family’s law firm can’t be all that different — much to the frustration of his hard-working attorney brother (Fred Savage). The series also stars William Devane, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Natalie Morales, Hana Hayes, and Connor Kalopsis.
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.

Note: 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.

Please Netflix pick up the grinder. I was hooked after the 2nd episode. Everything needs a second seasoto catch the people who missed the brilliance of season one. We all need more laughter in our lives a specially the kind that reminds us how ridiculously serious we all seem to look in our own lives at times.
I was shocked when I heard that this was cancelled. I really missed Fred Savage. What a great kid even at 40 he hasn’t lost that charm. Please find him something else to do fast!! Rob Lowe reminds me that I am approaching 50! Fred Savage is so clever and he always did have just the right facial expressions. #WonderYears
It takes a few shows to get into it. Once you do though it is very funny. I think you should give it another try. Lots of times it takes a second season to get going. This was the case for Big Bang Theory. It wasn’t until the second season that people actually took to it. Almost nobody I knew watched it. Now everyone I know does and are watching on Netflix or other apps to catch up.
I also caught this on Netflix. Me, like a lot of Americans today, are not watching the tele.
Just watched this on Netflix didn’t realize just how good it was ..sorry I didn’t see it on television hopefully it will be picked up by them if not someone else
I started a petition on Change.org to bring the grinder back. Sign it here https://www.change.org/p/fox-broadcasting-company-bring-back-fox-s-the-grinder?recruiter=606451259&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
I loved the Grinder, great concept for a show. Once again the networks cancel a show before it reaches its audience. This show was excellent and should not have been cancelled. Instead of cancelling shows with real potential the first year, give them an opportunity to reach audiences. This is typical of networks, then they come up with new replacements that are usually terrible. An audience just starts to get attached, then cancelled.
Years ago shows were given longer to take hold❗️
my favorite show and I always looked forward to it. Please renew. this show is too funny, love love the characters
I love this show! Please renew!
Please do not cancel. One of my favorite shows!!!!!
The Grinder is fantastic! I look forward to watching it every week. Great script, great acting. Hilarious and clever. Such a refreshing change from what’s on TV now. No way should it be cancelled!!

Grinder was hilarious and original, for once Fox had a winner. They really screwed the pooch on this one.
The Grinder is one of the best shows on TV this year. I can’t believe they’re not giving it more of a chance. The writing and acting are so superior to so many other shows; it’s just not fair. I’m really hoping it gets picked up by another network or medium, such as Netflix.
I look forward to watching this show every week. I have gotten other people to watch it also! It should NOT be cancelled. This show is very funny and well written!!!
