Though many pegged The Mob Doctor as the show most likely to be cancelled first, FOX still hasn’t officially lowered the boom. Perhaps they didn’t want a repeat of all the flack they got from quickly cancelling Lone Star two years ago.
Despite terrible ratings, the network hasn’t cut Mob Doctor’s 13 episode order or pull it off the air (versus CBS’ Partners and Made in Jersey).
Still, that’s no reason to believe that the show hasn’t essentially been cancelled. The network hasn’t ordered any additional episodes and there’s no spot for it on the mid-season schedule. With such low ratings, there’s no way that the network would put lots of marketing cash behind an effort to relaunch the show nine months later, for the 2013-14 season.
FOX has now announced that they’ll be airing (burning off) two episodes on Saturday nights in early January. Rather than let the remainder installments gather dust on the shelf, FOX is at least letting fans of the show see all of the episodes. Not as many people watch series television during late December and early January anyway so they aren’t exactly making a big sacrifice.
According to The Futon Critic, here’s how the final episodes will air:
Episode 9 – Monday, December 3 at 9:00/8:00c
Episode 10 – Saturday, December 29 at 9:00/8:00c
Episode 11 – Monday, December 31 at 9:00/8:00c
Episode 12 – Saturday, January 5 at 9:00/8:00c
Episode 13 – Monday, January 7 at 9:00/8:0
Since Mob Doctor has essentially been doomed from the beginning because of low ratings, the producers will give viewers some closure by the season/series finale.
What do you think? Do you think the last episode will give viewers some closure? How would you like to see the story end?

Fox as usual not giving a fledged show a chance..another Chicago based show bites the dust..rip Mob Doctor..we barely new you!
Love Mob Doctor and hate that you are thinking of cancelling it. It seems every show we get interested in gets axed. Makes us want to stop watching new shows.
I love this show!!!
Please don’t cancel this show. Its the best new show this year. I agree with Jennifer. There wasn’t enough advertising. I accidentally ran across it while paging through a magazine at the clinic. A lot of the shows are just plain garbage, and when we finally get one with a good story line, cancellation is threatened. The episodes are getting better each week, and I would guess the viewers are increasing too. Give it a second season. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show – cant believe its cancelled!!!
Please don’t cancel the Mob Doctor…the show is amazing.
Constantine is my fav. The entire cast works well together. Keep the seasons going
I simple can’t get enough if this show. After last night show I cannot stop thinking how the season finale ends. But to think that after Monday there isn’t going to be another show is simply devastating. Please don’t cancel this show.
Please DON’t cancel the mob doctor!!!! I love it!!!!’
This is a great show, needs more time for some
I think. Give it another season you maybe surprised
Please don’t canc this show It is really good and has some great people in it. I really love the story line and was just getting used to the characters and the story. I really loved The Finder too and that got pulled by Fox also. I wish they really let us vote on what to pull and not pull. But the almighty dollar and ratings mean more than letting the public decide. I really don’t think that there was enough advertising for this show.
Please don’t cancel, love this show!!! I don’t understand the low ratings? Maybe they needed to promote it more? The characters are terrific, looked forward to each weeks episode.. Hate to see it coming to an end! Would LOVE to have it come back for another season..
There needs to be another season! Love the show/characters! Finally there is a good medical drama on TV! It should be given another chance!
