Viewers won’t be spending time with the Moody clan during the 2021-22 TV season. The FOX network has cancelled The Moodys so there won’t be a third season.
A family comedy series, The Moodys stars Denis Leary, Elizabeth Perkins, Jay Baruchel, Chelsea Frei, and Francois Arnaud. Guests include Maria Gabriela de Faria, Gerry Dee, and Josh Segarra. Based on an Australian TV show, this series revolves around the Moody family of five. They are a tight-knit, though slightly dysfunctional, group and each has his/her own eccentricities. Sean Moody Sr. (Leary) and his wife, Ann (Perkins), are parents of three grown children — the youngest and “creative one”, Dan (Arnaud); overachiever middle-child Bridget (Frei); and Sean Jr. (Baruchel), is the eldest sibling and the “screw-up”. Season two picks up with Sean Sr. contemplating retirement while Sean Jr. takes over the family HVAC business. In reality, however, Ann has no intention of leaving her new psychology practice, and Sean Jr. continues to brew up schemes to get rich quick. Bridget, who is in the midst of a divorce, returns home while her fancy new townhouse is being renovated; and Dan leaves Brooklyn for Chicago to live with his girlfriend, Cora (de Faria), only to realize the relationship is moving too quickly. Once again, the Moodys are all under the same roof as “one big, happy family”.
Airing on Thursday and Sunday nights, the second season of The Moodys averages a 0.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 964,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season one, that’s down by 51% in the demo and down by 50% in viewership.
The cancellation comes as little surprise. The comedy was drawing low ratings on Thursday nights and then, with three episodes remaining, FOX pulled The Moodys off the air for May sweeps. Two of the remaining installments aired on Sunday, June 6th, and the de facto series finale will run this Sunday, June 20th.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed watching The Moodys TV series on FOX? Would you have tuned in for season three of this FOX comedy?
Please renew this TV show The Moodys. Please do Not Cancel the show. It is a funny show and all of the characters are great together. Peace, Marc
i loved watching season 2 of the moodys basically the only tv show that i like.
I need Fox phone number! Moodys made me laugh so hard! Who do I contact
I was a mega Rescue Me fan — crazy in love with Animal Kingdom and was very much enjoying Denis Leary and all cast members in this very smart and witty comedy. Im disappointed and hope perhaps it can return on the holidays maybe as a two hour movie at least.
Love this show! Not fair that it’s cancelled. Great cast, hilarious scenes, quirky-fun show.
Netflix!!! Please pick up The very funny. Quirky The Moodys Show. Please.
I don’t watch much of fox programs because there’s not much to watch… I tuned in to this series by chance during the 2nd season. LOVE IT!!!
Didn’t know about it til the second season.
Same!!! I am never watching Fox again! Every time I like 1 of their shoes (which doesn’t happen that often ) once in a while they’ll get a good one that I’ll just happen to catch – I get into it and it gets canceled after the first or second season I’m over fox!! The Moodys is the best show on right now! I agree come on Netflix or One of the millions of networks out there- Please don’t let this show die!!
I really loved the Moodys. It’s so funny. Great actors. I need to see more. Please bring it back I want a third season!
I like this show a lot. I wish it was not cancelled.
They never gave this program a chance. They put it in a time zone that was impossible to get it started. It could be another Schitt’s Creek.
There are so many of us who love this show. Those of us who purchased season one on Netflix are hoping that they pick this up.
This makes me not want to watch Fox anymore.
Couldn’t agree more!!
Enjoyed show. Liked S1 more than S2.
Don’t feel Fox advertised the show enough.
Fox – let me get this straight, you pulled the show (for a month and a half) during May Sweeps to do what to ratings?!?!
Hi SM in SF, Yes! Exactly! We just found the show in the second season…never heard of the show before and we found it in the guide on the TV, and recorded a show to see what it was about. We made a monthly pass to get the show and record it on TIVO. Now I just came to see what is happening to the show and when it will be on and found that it has been cancelled. Not good!!! I know people who just found the show and watched a rerun before it disappeared into oblivion a few… Read more »
I didn’t watch,so I guess I don’t care!
I saw one episode of it. I wasn’t crazy about it myself.
You cannot watch just one episode of many shows and be crazy about it ! You’ve got to give a show at least 2 to 3 to get to know the characters! Comon! The cast / characters were awesome!
I’ll watch as much of a show as I want to, or don’t want to. I didn’t like it.
I didn’t watch it but with all these cancellations I just wonder what new crappy shows FOX will bring next season 😀
Didn’t even know there was a second season. It hasn’t aired yet, here in Hell.
Liked this show, also Prodigal Son, FOX made a mistake, in my opinion!!
Tom, You’re batting 500 to me.
