The fifth season of Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living marks a milestone for the BET sitcom. It will surpass 100 episodes, a landmark that is not too common in the TV industry. Will Assisted Living reach two hundred episodes? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned.
A comedy series, the Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living TV show stars David Mann, Tamela Mann, J. Anthony Brown, Na’im Lynn, Courtney Nichole, Alex Henderson, and Tayler Buck with Nicolas S. Duvernay, Alretha Thomas, Damien Leake, and Chet Aknewe in recurring roles. In the story, Jeremy (Lynn) loses his job so he and his young family (Nichole, Buck, and Henderson) move to the backwoods of Georgia to help his eccentric grandfather. Jeremy’s Grandpa Vinny (Brown) has foolishly purchased a terribly run-down home for the elderly and he is in way over his head. Vinny’s prayers are answered (sort of) when Mr. Leroy S. Brown (David Mann) and his daughter, Cora (Tamela Mann) show up as needy investors (reprising their roles from Meet the Browns). Season five returns to the Pleasant Days Assisted Living Facility with heartfelt moments, genuine connections, and more hilarity as the residents navigate and overcome challenges with things like parenting, dating, and mental and physical health.
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 of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

For comparisons: Season four of Assisted Living on BET averaged a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 468,000 viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Assisted Living TV series on BET? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?
