Below are the Week 16 renew/cancel predictions for the Fox network in the 2023-24 television season. The numbers listed in the table mark the Nielsen rating low, average, and high for each respective program in the Adults 18-49 demographic. The "Y2Y (year-to-year) Change" column denotes how much the series has risen or fallen when compared to its average from the previous season. Because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, there is a limited amount of scripted programming this winter. As a result, reality television will continue to be included in this column.
Grimsburg: Fox made sure to give the premiere of Grimsburg some NFL overrun help, but the results were unsatisfactory. The premiere of the Jon Hamm cartoon managed just a 0.57 rating despite having a sizable lead-in from The OT (2.09). Retention here (27%) was actually a bit worse than what Krapopolis managed for its series debut (28%). Though it did get the short end of the stick when it comes to NFL lead-ins, Grimsburg could have easily done better if interest was there. Though it is already Renewed for another season, ratings are sure to get ugly when this show heads to its 9:30 p.m. time slot. It will be a complete miracle if Grimsburg is above a 0.20 rating in the slot that it's headed to.
The Floor: After a very solid launch, things got even better for The Floor in week two. The Rob Lowe game show actually built on its premiere rating and climbed to a sturdy 0.44 rating. This show was already Likely to be Renewed, but it's headed towards "Certain Renewal" status if it can keep this up. Rising in week two is almost unheard of, and this series could have easily ended up with a nasty post-premiere decline. The Floor seems to be cementing itself as one of the strongest offerings on the Fox network and is now rivaling The Masked Singer in terms of ratings strength. Needless to say, this show is here to stay.
We Are Family: Speaking of nasty post-premiere declines, We Are Family completely collapsed in week two. The series posted a meager 0.21 rating for its second episode, a far cry from the solid 0.35 it managed on premiere night. Family couldn't even build on its I Can See Your Voice lead-in (0.22) this time around and declined by a whopping 40% in just one week. We Are Family remains Likely to be Renewed, because a week three rebound is possible, but it's clearly headed down the wrong path.
Celebrity Name That Tune: Celebrity Name That Tune has been upgraded to a Likely Renewal. The series returned with a new season high last week (0.29) and set another one this week, inching up to a 0.30 for its latest episode. These ratings are adequate enough, and Tune is taking advantage of having a real lead-out again (as opposed to the 9-1-1: Lone Star reruns it was paired up with in the fall). Fox can do far worse than a 0.3, and this show is growing enough to justify keeping it around.
