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.

Funniest show in a while!!
I was hoping to at least like the Grinder. A couple of episodes in, I LOVE The Grinder! It is such a smart, well written and FUNNY show! It is on my MUST WATCH list!! I hope it gets picked up for a full season… are you listening FOX? 🙂
I think this show is very funny and I plan to watch it every week!
We absolutely love this show!! Our neighbors have been coming over and watching it with us each week. It is fun, witty, humorous and with great acting. We rarely watch shows, but this caught our eye and interest. We were all just saying how 1/2 hour is not enough, we would love to see an hour of this show. We can’t imagine it being cancelled!
Great show! Don’t cancel.
It’s awful. Cancel it!
horrible horrible show – cancel!
your wrong
Awesome Show…Love the Grinder
I love this show. Please don’t cancel it before it has a chance to gain an audience.
I’m watching!
My favorite new sitcom this fall season… It was a last second add too, wasn’t sure about it and I ended up absolutely loving it… Hope it does well!
What a great show! Very witty, very funny, love Rob Lowe & Fred Savage. And I greatly appreciate that there is no laugh track. We, the audience of a smart, well written comedy such as this, already know when to laugh!! Please don’t cancel this show if the ratings are not good at first. And not everyone watches when it is actually on anymore. – they go for on demand. Hopefully word of mouth will help it get a wider audience. Definitely deserves a chance!
