MTV has quietly shipped their Unemployed sitcom off to Saturday nights, an evening when their target audience is likely out doing other things. Is this a bad sign for the show’s future?
Underemployed follows the lives and relationships of a group of young people whose lives haven’t worked out as they’d hoped. The cast includes Diego Boneta, Inbar Lavi, Jared Kusnitz, Michelle Ang, Sarah Habel, and Charlie Weber.
The sitcom has been under-performing in the ratings and this season has been averaging just a 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 490,000 viewers. Last week’s episode hit a new series low with just 340,000 viewers. (You can check out the week-by-week ratings.)
For comparison’s sake, the last season of Teen Wolf averaged a 0.7 rating and 1.69 million viewers.
The Inbetweeners, another MTV sitcom, only fell as low as 530,000 viewers and that show was cancelled last week.
So yeah, it looks like Underemployed is doomed to be cancelled. On the positive side, there are five episodes left.
What do you think? Do you think that Underemployed should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Is it a better show than the ratings indicate?
I LOVE THE SHOW……im gonna die if they cancel it they should cancel awkward cause that show sucks but this show is freakin awesomeeeeee love it love it love it
There is no doubt that there has to be more episodes of this show!
