After closing out its inaugural season in late April, FXX has confirmed that they have renewed freshman comedy 'Dave' for a second season. The series follows rapper Lil Dicky and his rise to stardom in the music industry. GaTa, Taylor Misiak, Andrew Santino, Travis Bennett, and Christine Ko made up the supporting cast during the show's first season. The series had several prominent guest appearances during its first episode which included Justin Bieber, Benny Blanco, YG, Young Thug, and Kourtney Kardashian. 'Dave' averaged a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic for its first season and was FX's most-viewed comedy program ever when streaming numbers were taken into account. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide. Below are the full ratings for the sitcom.
What do you think of this news? Were you a fan of the series? Will you be watching 'Dave' season two? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
Cable Renew/Cancel - TBS, TruTV, Comedy Central & FXX: Samantha Bee Shows In Strong Positions
TBS:
Miracle Workers: It's been completely revamped this season, due to its anthology premise, but otherwise Miracle Workers looks to be in the same position it was in last season. It started high this season but dropped throughout the season, while still posting decent numbers. TBS has been pretty ruthless lately with canceling scripted shows lately despite having solid performances, with both The Detour and The Guest Book being solid performers canceled before the ratings warranted it. TBS seems to be making an attempt to shake up their brand, adding dramas and axing some of their veteran comedies, but I'd bet on Miracle Workers surviving this season. It's a solid performer for them, and it starts as a LIKELY RENEWAL.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee: Not only is this show a consistent collector of Emmy nominations, it's also a consistent ratings performer, pumping out solid ratings every week. TBS is clearly happy with its performance given that it's now in season five and is performing relatively the same now as it has the past few years, and it's a CERTAIN RENEWAL.
TruTV:
It's Personal with Amy Hoggart: Producer by Samantha Bee and starring Full Frontal correspondent Amy Hoggart, this show had an unusual launch for a TruTV show, airing on both TBS and Tru on premiere night. That strategy helped it draw a far higher premiere rating than it otherwise would have. Though it's averaging a 0.08 for its two TruTV-exclusive episodes, that's still a solid number for TruTV, higher than most of their shows outside of the hit Impractical Jokers. There's always a chance it could drop even lower in the upcoming episodes and warrant a cancellation, it starts off in a pretty solid position. TruTV shows have a tendency to simply disappear without really getting canceled, but I don't think that'll happen in this case. It's a LIKELY RENEWAL.
Comedy Central:
Alternatino: In the last update, I marked this show as being in a decent position for renewal. At this point, though, I think the tides have turned. It wasn't a terribly strong performer to begin with, and it's been some time since it last aired. While a show such as this one could simply be silently renewed and only have an official announcement a few months ahead of its new season, I don't know if that's the case here. Star Arturo Castro has joined the cast of a new show, and while that's not necessarily a death knell because both are short-order shows, it's not a great sign. It now LEANS CANCELLATION.
FXX:
Dave: FXX shows aren't expected to be massive performers. They have few shows so as it is, and even their top show, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, is now barely averaging a rounded 0.2. Their new show Dave is doing satisfactory so far, with a 0.11 average for the three episodes it's aired thus far. Even though it hit a 0.08 last week, that's actually higher than the new comedy on the main network FX, which received a 0.07. With a lower threshold for renewal, Dave is in pretty good shape, especially considering how fellow FXX show Cake was granted a second season despite far worse numbers. It's a LIKELY RENEWAL.

Kevin Kay, now former president of Paramount Network, CMT, and TV Land, stepped down in October after 25 years with Viacom, in a recent restructuring of the cable networks into four brands, down from six when Bob Bakish took over as CEO, and from five in another past restructuring.
Originally, eight scripted shows were supposed to be airing on Paramount for 2019. Now that berth has been reduced to only three shows: Yellowstone, Emily in Paris, and TV Land import Younger. First Wives Club moved to BET, and we are starting speculation. Obviously, the network is struggling outside of Yellowstone, Bar Rescue, and Ink Master. All 3 shows regularly pulled 0.2-0.3 ratings (Yellowstone had ratings in the 0.3-0.4 range and was the highest rated show on Paramount). Even mini-series Waco regularly hit 0.3-0.4 ratings during its run. Could Paramount be getting out of the scripted arena? My guess is probably not, since most of their unscripted lineup is pulling 0.1s right now. If new president Kent Alterman wants to clean house, COPS might be in some danger, and the Ink Master spinoff Ink Master: Angels will likely be. Plus, Lip Sync Battle may be in danger next season as well. But with all indications as it stands right now, that may not be the case. But we'll keep an eye on Paramount if anything changes.

FXX only has one show in development, but other than that, odds are that it's the favorite to get out of the scripted business.
Folks, I have a poll to the Cable Renew/Cancel conundrum. I've updated this to include Paramount in the thing. Vote early, vote often.
