Dr. Ken Canceled by ABC

ABC has canceled multi-camera comedy Dr. Ken after two seasons. Despite being produced by Sony, a production company known for getting their shows renewed more than other outside studios, and having 44 episodes, an incentive for Sony to really push for renewal, the Friday night comedy will not see a third season on ABC. It seems that ABC wants to try something different on Friday nights this season.

Finals Update: Last Man Standing (1.1) adjusted up, putting it up year-to-year from its 5th season finale. The Originals (0.3) adjusted down. 

On a night jam-packed with finales, ABC's Last Man Standing (1.0) finished off a 6th season steady with its previous outing and its 5th season finale. On the other hand, Dr. Ken (0.7) fell a tenth from its last outing to a brand new series low, a far cry from last year's 0.9, Ken's fate is still up in the air so this data point is not a good sign. ABC had yet another repeat of Shark Tank (0.7) at 9, it will return for a new episode next week alongside the debut of the Toy Box. The alphabet network capped off the night with 20/20 (0.8) up a tenth from its last installment. 

With NCAA over, CBS had the return of their drama line-up, MacGyver (0.9) and Hawaii Five-0 (1.0) both inched down from their last results, but Blue Bloods (1.1) managed to rise despite the long break.

After 6 years, Grimm (0.9) ended a 6-season run up a tenth from its last outing and matched its season high, it was also even with its 5th season finale. NBC capped off the night with more Dateline (0.9), it was down a tenth from last week and had  0.9/1.0 half-hours. 

FOX had a finale of their own as Sleepy Hollow (0.5) ended its fourth (final?) season even with its last episode. Leading into the meager drama was an equally meager Rosewood (0.5), the sophomore drama was down a tenth and hit a new low. 

It was steady as usual over on The CW as The Originals (0.4) and Reign (0.2) both matched their last outings.

CBS preempted their drama line-up for a second week for March Madness coverage (2.2/2.2/2.8). Overall, it averaged a 2.4 from 8-11, that's a huge improvement from last week's 1.3. The drama line-up will be back in originals next week.

NBC's Grimm (0.8) was steady just a week before its series finale. On the other hand, Dateline (1.0) had a two-tenth rise.


FOX's Sleepy Hollow (0.5) rose a tenth after weeks of 0.4s leading out of yet another repeat of Rosewood (0.5).

The CW saw The Originals (0.4) rise a tenth in week 2 after a rather lackluster start, but Reign (0.2) remained low.

(R) = repeat

(P) = premiere

Finals Update: NCAA Coverage adjusted down and averaged a 1.3 from 8-10. Dateline (0.8) adjusted down.

CBS retired their drama trio for a night in favor of a night of March Madness (1.4/1.8/1.4), it performed significantly better than a typical drama night and single-handedly beat out any other programming of the night.

ABC's comedies, Last Man Standing (1.0) and Dr. Ken (0.8), remained frozen at their series lows, both shows have only one more episode to air before their respective season finales. After the comedies, ABC benched Shark Tank and 20/20 for a 2-hour Manson special (1.1). At 9, it was significantly below an average Shark Tank, but it was a good bit above an average 20/20 installment at 10.

NBC's Grimm (0.8) inched up from last week but Dateline (0.8/0.9) was down from last week's 1.0.

Fox's Rosewood (0.4) continued to air out repeats alongside anemic Sleepy Hollow originals (0.4).


The CW had the season premiere of The Originals (0.3) and more of Reign (0.2). The former was significantly below an average Vampire Diaries installment.

(R) = repeat
(F) = finale

Finals Update: Grimm (0.7), Dateline (1.0), and Blue Bloods (1.0) all adjusted down.


After taking last week off, ABC's Last Man Standing (1.0) returned to a series low. It's a far cry from the 1.5 it hit back in January and down two-tenths from its previous outing. Standing has 3 episodes left in the season and would be wise to stay above a 1.0 if it wants that renewal. Dr. Ken (0.8) didn't have much luck either at 8:30, it was down a tenth from its last original and tied its series low. Ken led into a Shark Tank repeat (0.9) followed by an original 20/20 (0.8) which was down two-tenths from its previous outing.

A crossover event between MacGyver and Hawaii was no help for MacGyver (1.0) which actually inched down from its last episode. while Hawaii Five-0 (1.1) remained steady. The night rounded out with an original Blue Bloods (1.1) which remained steady after nearly a month off.

NBC had steady Grimm (0.8) leading into 2-hours of Dateline (1.0/1.1), the latter improved markedly from last week's Emerald City at 9. 

FOX had more ghastly results from Sleepy Hollow (0.4) leading out of an unnecessary Rosewood repeat (0.4).

The Vampire Diaries aired its final episode over on The CW and finally gave the night some life, starting with a recap special at 8 (0.4) leading into the finale at 9 (0.5), which inched up to a season high.
