Bless the Harts: Bless the Harts showed that it was the weakest link in the lineup this week when it scored a 0.6, which makes it the lowest rated animated show this week. It's not even proving its case for a renewal in any sense right now. However, the lineup as a whole is averaging fractional without football. So it may be the case it would be the pity renewal. But it's not getting a backorder due to production timelines. Two other animated shows are coming midseason as well. Many people say that it could have a shot at renewal especially if a show in development that is ordered to series is not ready for fall. I'm not buying this. Considering the number of animated shows in development, which is a lot, FOX may not need Bless the Harts in order to continue Animation Domination. Bless the Harts still leans cancelation, just on that regard.
Prodigal Son: Prodigal Son dropped to a 0.8 after 9-1-1 dropped to a 1.4. That indicates that the show is nowhere close to stabilizing. But it is still stronger than Almost Family. FOX already gave the show a full season, which signals great confidence in the show. As of right now, I would not panic just yet. We may evaluate the show further come midseason, but it is still likely to be renewed.
