It's two and out for Fox military sitcom Going Dutch, as Fox has canceled the low-rated comedy after a twenty-two episode run. The announcement comes despite a season of year-to-year stability for the comedy series, which averaged 0.15 this season, the exact average of its inaugural run. Why such a rating was no longer acceptable to Fox this season despite being acceptable last year is unknown, but the show's streaming performance left much to be desired, never charting on Hulu's top fifteen. It was also one of Fox's lowest-rated series, ranking twelfth among thirteen shows, despite its year-to-year stability. Denis Leary starred in the series alongside Danny Pudi, Taylor Misiak, Laci Mosley, and Hal Cumpston. Going Dutch's cancellation leaves Fox with a single live-action comedy, its now-former lead-in, Animal Control. This is a miss for The TV Ratings Guide.
