Son of Zorn Canceled by FOX

Another day, another unresolved cliffhanger. FOX has canceled half-animated/half-live action Lord Miller Production Son of Zorn after a 13-episode first season. The show, which aired after The Simpsons, had its ups and downs in the ratings depending on the circumstances, and didn't do enough to get another go-around. Here are its ratings:

TV Ratings 2/19/17: Good Fight Premieres Low, Son of Zorn Ends Quietly, NBC Special Draws Little Interest (UPDATED)

Sunday was a pretty busy night, with CBS premiering a new show, NBC airing a special, and a Fox comedy coming to an end. On CBS, 60 Minutes was down from last week. It lead into the special series premiere of the new CBS All Access series The Good Fight, which pulled in low ratings and was down a lot from the series finale of the Good Wife. NCIS: LA was booted to 9 PM by the premiere of TGF, and it was down a good deal. Elementary was steady at its already pretty low numbers. On ABC, a special presentation of Tangled aired at 8 PM, up from last week's presentation of the Blind Side. It led into the finale of To Tell the Truth, which was down and hit a season low. NBC aired a 90th Anniversary special, which drew low ratings, even with last week's showing of Fast and Furious 6. On Fox, their comedies rebounded from last week's lows against the Grammys. Son of Zorn ended its first (only?) season with a 0.7, up slightly from last week. Family Guy also climbed out of fractional ratings.


Finals Update: All shows held their preliminary ratings.

Sunday TV Ratings, 2/12/17: Grammys Around Even, Son of Zorn Collapses

It was Grammys night for CBS, and to much success. "Music's Biggest Night" scored a 7.3 A8-149 preliminary rating, right around last year's number. Earlier in the night was 60 Minutes at a 2.4, and the Grammy Red Carpet at a 3.2. Needless to say they were the highest-rated network by far.

ABC and NBC more or less punted Grammy night, with the former showing movie The Blind Side (0.9), which edged out the latter's Fast & Furious 6 (0.7). Earlier in the night America's Funniest Home Videos was strong (1.2), and beat out Dateline Sunday (0.8).

FOX did not choose to punt the night and instead aired originals of its usually-successful Sunday block. The quartet got hurt by the Grammys much more than last season, with Family Guy (0.9) and Bob's Burgers (0.8) hitting their first fractional numbers of the season, The Simpsons (1.0) barely out of that territory, and Son of Zorn (0.6) pulling a Timeless and collapsing at the exact wrong time.

TV Ratings 1/22/17: Son of Zorn Low, Hunted Starts Decent, Football Dominates (UPDATED)

Sunday night was easily dominated by the AFC Championship game between the Steelers and the Patriots, which had little competition from the other networks. The only other original programs aired Sunday night were the Hunted series premiere and an original episode of Son of Zorn. Zorn was hurt a good deal last night, scoring a 0.9 among a sea of repeats on Fox. Hunted, which started 8 minutes after 10, pulled in a 3.6 for its series premiere. NBC aired a Dateline repeat and aired the movie Ted, both pulling in expectedly low ratings. ABC aired repeats of their game show To Tell the Truth, Quantico, and America's Funniest Home Videos, with AFV coming out on top.

Finals Update: The AFC Championship (+2.0) and Hunted (+0.1) adjusted up. A Son of Zorn repeat (-0.1) adjusted down.

TV Ratings 1/8/17: Golden Globes Up a Tad, To Tell The Truth and Conviction Up (UPDATED)

Sunday night saw the 74th annual Golden Globe ceremony, which pulled in a 4.8, down a good deal from last year's finals but one tenth above last season's preliminary 4.7. It is very possible for them to tie or beat 2016's ceremony in the finals. It was able to come in second  first in the 8-10 hours. Fox returned with an NFL boost, and saw huge gains with all four shows, though downward adjustments are likely.. ABC aired its game show filler To Tell the Truth from 8 to 10, and saw a rise from last week, while a burn-off of Conviction at 10 saw its typical low ratings. CBS aired their usual line-up, and pulled in low numbers.

Updated Golden Globe Numbers: With a time adjustment, the Golden Globes pulled a 5.6, up vs. 2016's ceremony.

Finals Update: The Golden Globes Arrival Special (-0.9), The Simpsons (-1.4), and Son of Zorn (-0.5) adjusted down.
