Five on Crime Season 1 Episode 2: The Fraud Shot

Grosse Pointe Garden Society Canceled by NBC


Grosse Pointe Garden Society has wilted. The serialized drama about members of a garden club in the Detroit suburbs who cover up a murder has been canceled after a single low-rated season. This news comes just days before cast contracts were set to expire, and almost two months after NBC announced the fates of most of their other series. It joins Suits LA, Found, Night Court, Lopez vs Lopez, and The Irrational in the scrap pile this season, as NBC attempts to rebound from a historically awful season that saw every one of its four scripted dramas rating far below average. Grosse Pointe stood out even among them, with just a 0.12 average that made it the lowest-rated series on the Big Four broadcast networks. It debuted on Sunday nights in the 10 PM slot, but NBC tweaked its scheduling just weeks into the season, moving it to the open hour ons Friday at 8 PM. It remained low-rated there, dooming its already minuscule renewal chances. The series will not be moving to Peacock, either, with its streaming performance not being strong enough to save it there. Melissa Fumero, AnnaSophia Robb, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport and Nancy Travis starred in the series. With this decision, NBC has made its final decision regarding the 2024-25 regular season. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Alert and The Cleaning Lady Canceled by Fox

It's a cruel summer on Fox, with the network canceling both of their Tuesday spring dramas today on the heels of their recent finales. Alert, which ended its third season last week, and The Cleaning Lady, which aired its season four finale this Tuesday, have both been canceled by Fox. The network delayed making decisions on the series at their upfronts last month, when most pickups and cancellations would typically be announced by, waiting to announce the bad news about both series until after their runs ended. Both series were among the lowest-rated shows on Fox - and all of broadcast TV, each averaging 0.13 in the key 18-49 demo this season. That's not far off from the previous seasons, when they were both given suprirrisng renewals in spite of their poor ratings. The factors that allowed them to survive last season weren't enough this time around. The Cleaning Lady's cancellation is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide, while Alert is a miss.
