Revolving around a fictionalized version of Louis CK, the Louie comedy series has aired for five low-rated seasons on FX. Now, TV Land is trying a similar concept with The Jim Gaffigan Show. Will it perform better in the ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Set in New York City, The Jim Gaffigan Show revolves around a fictionalized version of comedian/author/actor Gaffigan as he struggles to find a balance between fatherhood, stand-up comedy, and an insatiable appetite. The rest of the cast includes Ashley Williams, Adam Goldberg, Michael Ian Black, and Tongayi Chirisa.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
8/31 update: The Jim Gaffigan Show and Impastor have both been renewed for second seasons.
Note: Because TV Land has been simulcasting this show on Nick-at-Nite, we’ve added a second chart for those numbers.

What do you think? Do you like The Jim Gaffigan Show TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
It sure seems exactly what I thought MOST people HATE both the impastor and the jim gaffigan shows and only the LOSER TV CRITICS like the shows. They must like it because they GET PAID TO SAY SO !!! The so-called TV CRITICS have totally ruined TV !! The approve shows that suck and those shows are written by BAD WRITERS who think STUPID = FUNNY and it is easy to write STUPID TV SHOWS !!! They probably hate M.A.S.H, All In The Family, Everybody Loves Raymond, Good Times, Family Matters and all the other REALLY WELL WRITTEN FUNNY COMEDIES… Read more »
Hello Doug. You hit the nail on the head with your well written opinion! I feel the the Gaffigan show is just a latch-on to other shows like What About Raymond. In other words, I feel as if he thinks he can do the same, but it’s quite apparent that it is way off and his show is not in the same league or even close to What about Raymond, or any others out there. He just needs to stick to stand up comedy. I’ve never heard of Jim Gaffigan until recently when he is begging watchers to set their… Read more »
Oh yeah, Please cancel Jim Gaffagan show, it is aweful.
Just want to simply agree and say nice going. I totally agree and this crazy crap of putting someone on the air that just wants food. It’s horrible for the American family to allow their children to say “ok kids lets watch gaffigan, the food porn king”. It’s like his entire life revolves around food and it’s not ok to raise our children that way. Besides, he isn’t funny with or without food! He’s just plain boring and needs to find a new career!
Tried several times to watch this show and ended up switching channels. I dont’t find gluttony entertaining, and he is hard on the eyes. The network must be hard-up for material.
Don’t watch this show unless you want to fall asleep. I should have know when he was begging his viewers to set their DVRs that it would be a huge let down and I was right. I saw the ads showing his upcoming show and watched the previews and thought, wow this is going to be a huge hit. I watched the first show, the 2nd, and finally gave it one last show and decided I could not see the entertainment into this show. I spoke to a few people at work and they agreed so then I knew it… Read more »
I didn’t want to like the show because it replace d Hot in Cleveland but it is pretty funny. Given time this could find an audience.
I do wish they would reconsider bringing back Hot in Cleveland. All the other shows on TVLand stink!
LOVE THIS SHOW! So funny and just like his awesome stand up. If you don’t like him then don’t watch – maybe you’d prefer the Kardashians and other reality garbage vs a funny quick witted show. Hope to see it on for years to come!
cancel it please the only thing worst is watching his stand up
I HATE JIM GAFFIGAN , nothing he said is funny
I hate the Jim Gaffigan show too. Why do they keep it on TV??? It’s a waste of space and time. I just hope the poor guy has something else to do because I wouldn’t wish hurt on anyone, I just hate his show!
Yes, please get rid of this horrible mess of a show!!!
The Jim Gaffigan show is terrible! Cancel it.
The Jim Gaffigan show is possibly the worst show I’ve ever seen. It’s pathetic. What’s worse is TVland’S in-your-face 24/7 marketing of this stupid show. Please God, make the Jim Gaffigan show and all of the marketing surrounding it GO AWAY!
The show if funny and I love it. I can see why some people are not going to get it, i.e. single, no kids, and just a little slow. I can’t believe there has been 9 Fast and Furious movies, I mean WOW another care race scene? How do they do it?
THIS GUY IS NOT FUNNY!! IT IS A STUPID SHOW!! THIS GUY SUCKS!! THIS SHOW WILL NOT LAST…. THANK GOD. !!!!
The Jim Gaffigan show sucks!!!! Cancel it!
The Jim Gaffigan Show is true to his stand up, very funny. If you’re a fan of his you’ll love his show. If you’re not a fan of Mr. Gaffigan’s then you’re like my gramma, no longer with us.
I would be proud to be someone who knew your grandmother, but buy your taste in TV shows, you, not so much! The Jim Gaffigan show is a slap in the face to real men who work hard to, protect and provide for their families without looking for ways to push things off on their wife.
Hello anonymous. You are 100% correct and do agree with everything you said. George Lopez and Jim Gaffigan should both find something new to do!!! Why are they still broadcasting???
Hey Angela, i do beg to differ and hope you find comedy some day!
Jim Gaffigan show is terrible!
Terrible show. Unwatchable.
Yikes! I clicked the button before commenting on the Jim Gaffigan show. As soon as Jim opens his mouth, I am laughing like an idiot. I love all of his standup routines, and somehow he has managed to inject all of his humor into this great new show. Ashley Williams is perfect as his wife, and it is clear the show is going to be a huge success. Looking forward to next week, and the next, and the next, and …
Ichhh you gotta be kidding Jane! That show is a huge yawn and a huge let down! Have you been out and about in your years on this earth??? ICHHH Gaffigan is nauseating with that voice and face!
Louie is always at his best doing standup. Unfortunately, his show simply does not translate well and is not a good forum for his cerebral type of humor. Hopefully the network will fund more standup shows … problem solved.
