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.

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 love love love this show!!! Please come back next season!!!
This show is like cotton candy. You know you’re eating airy sugar but you can’t help it. The finale felt rushed and it didn’t live up to whatever it was building up to in the past few weeks. Not sure it will be able to hang on to momentum unless new writers come in with fresh dialog and feistier story lines.
LOVE THIS SHOW! RENEW
The premise of show irritates me since I am over 40 and a working professional who deals with other professionals of many ages. Thank God I don’t live in her world where she has to fake her age. I prefer to watch comedies that actually make me laugh. This one does not.
Ridiculous and lame. Vapid leading character with loose morals….well they all have loose morals and I was embarrassed for them.
My husband and I really enjoy this show. It’s light and kind of cute, just a half hour long, so it’s not a big commitment of time. We’re older than the key ratings demographic. It keeps us apprised of the younger generation’s activities and lingo. We learned that “IRL” means “in real life” and “YOLO” means “you only live once.” We feel really hip now. Thanks, Younger!
I tried my hardest to like the show but the stereotypes doesn’t measure up. I am 40 years old and confident. The lead character seems lost. I enjoy my life. Younger women look up to me and aspire to have the things I achieved. Not the other way around as the show suggest. SATC showed women growing older but living life, their success and fashion. This show suggest 40 year old women do not compare to 20 year olds and we wish to be young and vibrant like 20 year olds. It suggests older women are out of touch and… Read more »
I just can’t get into this show I stopped dvr’ing it coz I found it to be lame. I’m in my 20’s and the girls I work with don’t get it either. WhenI was young I used to watch SATC and it was fun. I even like Hot in Cleveland but Younger is no go!
love it 2
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it
Although I really like the show’s star, the show is vapid and cliched and really is poor. The show really could have been much better but they chose to stereotype the two age groups to such a degree that I cant stand to watch the show. The only bright spot is the lead character who is a good actress, it seems, but she is overshadowed by the poorness of the show. Why TV Land would renew this show and cancel Hot in Cleveland, and excellent show, is totally beyond me.I for one am looking for other stations to watch.
Love the show. Just watched the 5/26 episode. Josh getting the dragon tattoo was hilarious! Glad to hear it is renewed for Season 2.
I love the show
RENEW!!! My husband and I love this show!
Love it!!!!
