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.

Great show. One of the best shows. Fred Savage rocks.
The Grinder is great fun! Rob Lowe & Fred Savage are hilarous and the supporting cast is marvelous. I seriously hope the show is renewed.
I think The Grinder is dryly hilarious, or hilariously dry!
Rob Lowe is brilliant in the Grinder. Our family use the name Grinder whenever we notice an actor overacting. We hope for another season.
The a Grinder is a very, very fun show to watch. The chemistry between Rob Lowe and Fred Savage is tremendous, and the supporting cast is very good as well. In my opinion, this is one of the best sit-coms in a long, long time.
I’ve only seen it a couple times. Not really my thin . I just saw where Rob Lowe will be on a new show. So I’m guessing Grinds has been canceled
The Grinder is such a funny show. The writing is so clever and the chemistry between all the actors is great. We need more witty sitcoms and less what I like to call tokerTV, where you’d have to be high to think it’s funny.
We love The Grinder! Rob Lowe is perfect for his role. Don’t cancel!!!!!!!!
It is awful.
The Grinder is fantastic! The whole cast is great. I hope there will be a second season.
Love it…
This show is so funny! I love it. Low ratings may be due to a lack of publicity or stiff competition rather than poor quality. I only heard of it once it was about 10 episodes into the season and I’m hooked.
Love this show
I love The Grinder! It’s my favorite new show of the season! Best show on television!
