Kidding Canceled by Showtime

After two seasons, Jim Carrey's TV comeback is over. The series reunited Carrey with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director Michel Gondry, and starred Carrey as the host of a popular children's show that goes through personal tragedy and a difficult family life. The comedy-drama was critically well-received, and picked up two Golden Globes nominations for season one, but awards buzz was gone by season two after it failed to receive any Emmy attention. The show was one of the lowest-rated scripted programs on all of television with just a 0.018 average for season two (a nearly 75% drop) and only 89,000 viewers tuning in to the show on average. Alongside Carrey, the show starred Frank Langella, Judy Greer, Catherine Keener, Cole Allen, Juliet Morris and Justin Kirk. The show's run spans from September 9, 2018 until March 8, 2020, airing twenty episodes in the process. Full season two ratings can be found below.

Shameless Renewed for Tenth Season


Showtime's longest-running series will return for at least one more season. Shameless has scored a tenth season, which will be the first that won't feature star Emmy Rossum. William H. Macy will return for the tenth season, as will Emma Kenney, Cameron, Monaghan, and the rest of the main cast members from season 9. The series is currently averaging a 0.35 for the season, marking a 35% decline from season 8. Despite the decline, the series remains the top show on Showtime. It returned for the 7-episode second half of season 9 on January 20, and will run until March 10.
