FOX Cheat Sheet: The Cleaning Lady is a Lock for Renewal! What About Pivoting?
We are fast approaching upfronts, which means renewal and cancellation decisions for TV shows are imminent.
At the beginning of the season, FOX struggled to find a new hit drama.
The Cleaning Lady, which premiered at midseason, has delivered solid ratings and is highly compatible with 9-1-1: Lone Star.
It will be renewed.
Scroll down to find out our thoughts on what will be renewed and canceled.
The Simpsons - Renewed
Fueled by football lead-ins, The Simpsons is up 30% in the demo year-to-year, averaging 2.8 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in the demo.
It builds to 3.2 million viewers and a 1.0 rating with a week of DVR factored in.
It also soars with Hulu viewing factored in.
9-1-1 - Certain Renewal
9-1-1 is down around 20% year-to-year, averaging 5.2 million viewers and a 0.8 rating.
With a week of DVR factored in, the numbers rise to 8.3 million viewers and a 1.4 rating.
These numbers will keep it around for the years to come.
9-1-1: Lone Star - Certain Renewal
The series continues to show that the 9-1-1 franchise is very much alive.
It is averaging 5.3 million viewers and a 0.7 rating.
It also enjoys a big boost in delayed viewing.
The Great North - Renewed
The animated series is averaging 1.5 million viewers and a 0.4 rating.
The needle doesn't move much with a week of DVR factored in.
Still, FOX has already renewed the show.
Bob's Burgers - Renewed
Bob's Burgers is up slightly year-to-year, managing 1.5 million viewers and a 0.5 rating.
The numbers build to 1.7 million viewers and a 0.7 rating with a week of DVR.
The show is renewed!
The Cleaning Lady - Certain Renewal
FOX has struggled to find a hit in recent years, but The Cleaning Lady is a solid addition to the schedule.
It is averaging 3.4 million viewers and a 0.5 rating, and the numbers soar with delayed viewing factored in.
The numbers are very good for a broadcast drama in today's TV climate.
Call Me Kat - Could Go Either Way
Call Me Kat had an extended hiatus between seasons, and the numbers are down.
It is currently averaging 2.2 million viewers and a 0.5 rating.
Those numbers are inflated because of a Football-fueled premiere.
Recent episodes are averaging a 0.3 rating.
The Resident - Certain Renewal
The medical drama remains a solid option for the network.
The current season is averaging 3.1 million viewers and a 0.5 rating in the demo.
The numbers build to 5 million viewers and a 0.7 rating. The show also performs well with online viewing factored in.
It will definitely be back.
Pivoting - Certain Cancellation
The series is very watchable, but viewers are not connecting with it.
The freshman season is averaging 1.3 million viewers and a 0.3 rating.
It has been consistent, but not at a level enough to spell renewal.
Our Kind of People - Certain Cancellation
The new drama failed to get a backorder, which usually spells doom.
The numbers are not enough to keep it around.
It is averaging 1.4 million viewers and a 0.3 rating.
The Big Leap - Certain Cancellation
The critically-acclaimed series did not make much of a case for renewal.
It averaged 1.3 million viewers and a 0.2 rating, rising to 2 million viewers and a 0.4 rating with a week of DVR factored in.
It looks like FOX will be saying goodbye to both of its fall dramas.
FOX should be making some more decisions in the coming weeks.
