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?
The Grinder is the best sitcom currently on television. Please keep it on the air!
I’m SO disappointed! The Grinder was my favorite show! Please reconsider! I think you just need better marketing as no one knew about the show and how awesome it was! Fred Savage and Rob Lowe are hilarious together! Please at least take it to another network or Hulu or something…just don’t take it off the air altogether. :'(
No way!!!
Is Fox Network crazy? The Grinder was the best new show this season. The actors are amazing and their comedic timing is fabulous. Kudos also to the writers for their hugely enjoyable episodes. BRING IT BACK, PLEASE, PLEASE BRING IT BACK! The Grinders audience deserves it and so do the actors and all involved in the best show on TV period!!!!!!!!
best show as is grandfathered what are they thinking cant get better acting than these shows have and the script is great dont cancel
I loved The Grinder, the comedic timing and chemistry between the cast has not been seen since Seinfield. This is a HUGE loss to the lineup!!!
I do think that this show has the Seinfeld potential. Nice comment. Fox, Tv is getting more obsolete by the day. You should keep this show or create a spinoff 🙂 Have a Great Day.
This is my family’s favorite show PLEASE Renew it next season and keep all the cast the same.
RENEW,RENEW,RENEW. GRINDER ROCKS. Was skeptical at first, now, I so enjoy this show . Fred and Rob fit perfectly together as does the cast of characters, Keep the laughs and learning lessons up please.
Please renew The Grinder! It is our favorite comedy on tv! I feel like this is typical Fox behavior. This wouldn’t be the first great show that they had and, did not give it a fair shot! Firefly and Arrested Development to name a couple. Move the time slot or day. Something!!!!Please Fox! Who do I need to contact to keep this awesome show going!?
Please renew! We love this show and are in the target demo of 18-49!! Funniest show on TV right now!
This is the best show on right now! I need this show to get renewed.
The Grinder is both my husband and I’s absolute favorite show – we can’t even stand to delete any of the episodes off our DVR! We will be heart broken if it doesn’t come back for a second season!
The Grinder is the one show I never miss & the 1st comedy I’ve adored in a very long time. I truly hope Fox will give it a chance. The writing and acting talent rank right at the Top!!!!!
Please renew!! This is a smart well written show and with proper scheduling will take off and be a long term success. I enjoy this show every week.
Please don’t cancel The Grinder! It is definitely one of the best sitcoms on tv right now. The writing is very witty and the cast has great chemistry. Please give this show another chance!
