NBC Renew/Cancel 2024-25 Wrap-Up: Final Thoughts on Grosse Pointe Garden Society, The Hunting Party, Found, Brilliant Minds & More

With the cancellation of Grosse Pointe Garden Society last week, all of NBC's shows have now had their fates announced, which means it's time for much-delayed wrap-up of the 2024-25 NBC season! Keep reading for my look at what went right, and what went wrong, as I a attempted to predict NBC this season! 

Night Court Canceled by NBC

Court is officially adjourned on NBC. The network has canceled sitcom continuation Night Court after three seasons. The show began as a massive ratings success for NBC, but slid as the season went on, eventually becoming a more modest performer. That was still enough to earn it two more renewals, but the show was pushed to 8:30 for its third season, dropping as a result. The sitcom averaged 0.22 in the key demo this season, a 30% decline from the prior season, and dropped as low as 0.15. Night Court was a co-production with Warner Bros, with the studio unable to work out a deal with NBC for a short final season. The series aired on Tuesday nights, a night that NBC will no longer be programming next season, due to a deal to air NBA games. The two-episode finale that aired this Tuesday will now serve as its series finale. John Larroquette was the only returning regular cast member from the original series, leading the cast alongside Melissa Rauch. Wendie Malick, Lacretta and Nyambi Nyambi also starred in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Tuesday TV Ratings 5/6/25: Night Court Drops for Finale, FBI and Alert Also Decline, The Rookie Rebounds [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: The Night Court finale (0.20/0.18) underwhelmed on NBC, but the series did avoid setting a new low on its way out. On CBS, FBI (0.30, -0.05) and FBI: International (0.25, -0.01) dropped, but FBI: Most Wanted (0.24, 0.00) was steady at ten. On ABC, Will Trent (0.28, 0.00) matched its last installment, The Rookie (0.27, +0.07) surged, and Bad Romance (0.11, -0.03) slipped. On Fox, The Cleaning Lady (0.14, -0.01) and Alert: Missing Persons Unit (0.10, -0.03) declined. The CW's WWE NXT (0.14, -0.01) also ticked down. Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale. 

NBC Renew/Cancel Week 27: Final Calls on Night Court, Suits LA, Found, Brilliant Minds, The Hunting Party & More!

It's been a long and painful season on NBC, with so many disastrous ratings performances across the network, during one of their worst seasons in recent history. With the NBA deal on the horizon, and ratings on a heavy decline, a lot of cuts are coming, but at least a few underperforming shows do seem to have a pulse heading into the last weeks of the season. Almost nothing is renewed so far, leaving many questions about NBC's future during the home stretch. Keep reading for my final calls on all fourteen shows, as I give my best guesses for which shows will be reprieved and which shows will exit stage left after this nightmare of a season.

Tuesday TV Ratings 4/29/25: President Trump: The First 100 Days Easily Leads a Quiet Night, St. Denis Medical Rises for Finale, Night Court and Alert Rebound [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: ABC's interview with President Trump (0.35) brought the network solid ratings at eight, but dramas Will Trent (0.28, -0.03) and The Rookie (0.20, -0.01) were booted to later time slots to make room for the broadcast and dipped as a result. On NBC, St. Denis Medical (0.25, +0.03) was up for its finale, and Night Court (0.24, +0.08) had a noticeable resurgence. The trend was similar on Fox, as The Cleaning Lady (0.15, +0.04) and Alert: Missing Persons Unit (0.13, +0.04) bounced back a bit. CBS went with repeats of FBI (0.20), FBI: International (0.19), and FBI: Most Wanted (0.20). WWE NXT (0.15, -0.02) slipped on the CW. Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.
