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.

What do you think? Do you like the Younger TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This is a horrible show! TV Land is really circling the drain with this show and others — Teachers, IMPASTOR & Jim Gag-again.
Terrible!
This show is trash. I miss the old tv land and nick at nite from the 90’s. Mary Tyler Moore, I Love Lucy, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, Dick Van Dyke Show. I loved the block party summers too. I loved even the classic commercials. I was horrified tonight. We were watching Everybody Loves Raymond and then a nasty explicit sex scene came on right in front of my 6 year old and 8 year old. It was Younger and I was horrified!
I’ve only ever seen commercials for this show, and the one my brother and I saw just today was incredibly crude and inappropriate. All I can say is those people sure seemed awfully proud of themselves for having no self-respect, whatsoever. As for old-timey shows, try MeTV. Hogan’s heroes, Happy Days, Andy Griffith, ALF, Perry Mason, Carol Burnette 🙂 Hope I helped
Ridiculous premise and it humiliates its star, too. Only an idiot would think Sutton Foster is 26-years-old, and what’s so wrong with her being considerably older, anyway? Bad acting, bad writing and even a bunch of sex scenes don’t distract from how boring and silly this whole think is.
CANCELL !! It’s Trash ! just like” teachers”
TV land as lowered their standard of family TV. I have taken them off my list of channels to watch. It was a breath of fresh air to watch before they put on shows like Younger very poor decision
Horrible show!! I only watched five minutes and was discussed by the sex scenes. A lot of Nick at Nites audience is under 18, and the filth that is on this show is completely inappropriate! What is this show teaching our youth about commitment or any other moral values? I can’t believe Nick would put this show on their channel. Very disappointed, just proves tv is trash.
this show is an embarrassment and should be cancelled because of all the reckless sex scenes and low morality issues, the thought of my Family seeing this makes me very uncomfortable
The tv previews are disgusting with filthy language ,this show is all trash
Horrible. Go back to the old sitcomes
This show is totally inappropriate for a station like TV Land, the acting is horrible. And entirely too much sex. TV land use to be about the older sitcoms, that were family oriented. Also the new show Teachers is even worse. Just plain horrible.
Just another trash grab by tv land
This is a terrible show. I can’t believe this show is coming back for a second season. How can you hide your age from your employer?
I hate this show. It’s ridiculous with all the sex scenes, and it’s embarrassing. I hope TV Land ditches this show soon. I really thought TV Land was better than this.
Awesome. Here’s a show that is vapid, moronic and just debased and crass enough to shine like fool’s gold to those who think they’ve found the latest bit of hipster fodder. You don’t just have to suspend disbelief to enjoy this trash — you have to completely turn off your mind as thinking about the idiotic plot lines for more than five seconds will cause people to turn this slop off and never watch it again. If you ever needed proof that bad art is just downright offensive, “Younger” provides it in spades.
