Ratings Roundup for the Week of December 04, 2022

FOX surprised no one by cancelling Monarch the day before its finale aired. The freshman country music drama series never found an audience on the network. Hopes that Welcome to Flatch would hold the audience it found after some fortuitous scheduling were dashed last week. The mockumentary lost half of its ratings gains and seven hundred thousand viewers. The Resident was also down, shedding five hundred thousand viewers. Back-to-back episodes of the animated series Housebroken replaced The Great North and Bob's Burgers last week. The series showed why it normally runs in the summer as it lost four hundred thousand viewers for the network.
