Call Me Kat Canceled by Fox

Fox won't be calling Kat up for a fourth season. The network has canceled the veteran comedy series Call Me Kat, less than 24 hours after the airing of its third season finale. The sitcom was Fox's lone series to receive a full 22-episode order this season, airing on Thursdays at 9:30 as part of Fox's single hour of live-action comedy. Though the show was in its third season, it was never a strong ratings performer, and it saw 40% declines in each of its last two seasons. Its 0.21 average this season made it broadcast's second-lowest-rated scripted series this season, ahead of only Grand Crew. The show likely also found itself in trouble as a Warner Bros. production - higher-rated shows like 9-1-1 and The Resident were canceled at least in part due to similar reasons, though they completed six-season runs (and 9-1-1 was saved by ABC). Call Me Kat was the final show to star Emmy winner Leslie Jordan, who died in October amid production of the third season. Mayim Bialik starred as the titular Kat, alongside Swoosie Kurtz, Cheyenne Jackson, Kyla Pratt and Julian Gant. Over the course of its run, Call Me Kat aired 53 episodes, the most for a Fox live action comedy since The Last Man on Earth.

Call Me Kat Renewed by Fox

Call me renewed. Fox has ordered a third season of sitcom Call Me Kat, its highest-rated live-action comedy. The series was not a big ratings performer for Fox this season, dropping 40% from its first season to an underwhelming 0.35 18-49 average. Despite this, it rated well above its lead-out comedies and retained most of its 8 PM reality show lead-ins over the course of its 18-episode second season. The show stars Mayim Bialik, Leslie Jordan, Cheyenne Jackson, Swoosie Kurtz and Kyla Pratt. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Call Me Kat Renewed by Fox

Fox is calling Kat, because they want her back for another season. The network has renewed freshman comedy Call Me Kat, their only new live-action comedy series this season. The show rated as Fox's #4 series this year, behind the 9-1-1s and The Simpsons. Kat was given an NFL lead-in for its premiere, an early sign that Fox was high on the show. It did decently there, and went on to have modest but acceptable ratings for the rest of its run, averaging 0.59 and staying essentially steady from its third episode onward. That steadiness is being rewarded with a second season pickup. Mayim Bialik stars in the series as the titular Kat alongside Leslie Jordan, Swoosie Kurtz, Cheyenne Jackson, Julian Gant and Kyla Pratt. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
