TV Land is starting to shift away from “classic” TV star vehicles and in favor of hip comedies. Is this a good idea? Will their Younger sitcom be a hit or a flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the Younger TV show, a recently single mother (Sutton Foster) tries to re-enter the working world but finds her age to be a problem. After being mistaken for a younger woman, she decides to pass herself off as a 26 year old and lands a job as the assistant of a publishing executive (Miriam Shor). The cast also includes Nico Tortorella, Debi Mazar, and Hilary Duff.
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.
4/21 update: TV Land has renewed Younger for a second season. Details here.
Final season averages: 0.18 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 550,000 total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Younger TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I really hope you re-new Younger, it is a breath of fresh TV Air!
How could the 4/14 ratings possibly be correct? Demo down 45%. Total viewers up 578%? Really?
It was a misplaced decimal point. Thanks for noticing.
Thanks for responding to my comment and for the correction. No doubt “Younger” would have preferred the previous total viewer figure! :^)
I enjoy this show very much! Nothing negative to say. Hope it is renewed for another season!
