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.

What do you think? Do you like The Grinder TV show on FOX? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This show is FANTASTIC and the entire cast is AMAZING!!! Fred Savage’s character is a wonderful straight-man in his brotherly duo. Wonderful writing & wonderful acting!
Love the laugh out loud show!!! Written so well with great actors..fan base will grow like Sienfeld please renew
This is an extremely funny show. I think it is one of those shows that have to be watched 2 or 3 times before it becomes truly addictive. I recommend it to every person I come across. It must be renewed! I predict that by the beginning of the second season, it will be wildly popular
Fresh. Intelligent. Witty. Writing and performances are excellent. Would be a huge mistake to cancell this show.
Best sit com on the air. Fresh, authentic, classy humor with no cheap gimmicks. Definitely renew.
Love the Grinder….please do NOT cancel!!!!!
We like this show A Lot!
Love the sly wit of this program, not to mention the frequent Timothy Olyphant appearances! Definitely RENEW!
LOVE the Grinder! Chemistry between the characters is amazing, great writing, I love every episode. I’ve never bothered to try and give my opinion on a show before, but this one is different. I really hope this show gets a chance, it’s awesome!
Best comedy on TV right now…love it!
The grinder is exactly what 2015 needed. A common theme with all of the new TV shows seems to be that we need very young, very untalented actors as eye candy, and their looks will forgive the fact that they seem to be reading from a teleprompter. I honestly find myself unable to watch many newer TV shows. Whereas the cast of the grinder includes many actors that have actually made it past their 18th birthdays. The talented acting combined with a fresh, original plot has made it into an excellent, and very funny new comedy.
Keep The Grinder!!! The funniest, most intelligent network comedy in years. The cast and writing are brilliant. Everyone to whom I have recommended this show loves it!
Love it
Love the Grinder
Love the show
