C'mon Fox. You've got Leary under contract, save yourselves some production costs and give him a mic and let him rant for 20 minutes every week. Your ratings will double.

Does he still do stand-up? I think the problem is that the two comedy shows are anomalies for the schedule. So much of FOX's content now is unscripted or sports. The few bits of scripted shows get lost in the mix. I'm also not sure how well any of them are promoted.

Hi!  Just FYI, there is a weekly ratings article posted here that provides ratings info for the four main networks.

FOX would be better served giving Denis Leary the half hour to do stand up. It would be cheaper to make and probably draw more viewers.

agreed. I think they were hoping for another Leary success like Rescue Me and missed.

Of the ones I’ve been watching and haven’t heard about being renewed, I highly doubt Going Dutch will be renewed. Hopefully Murder in a Small Town will be. Marshals is entertaining so far.

I didn't expect Going Dutch to be renewed last year, and it was. Animal Control has been renewed. As far as I know, FOX doesn't have another scripted half-hour comedy in the pipe (but I haven't been paying close attention the last few weeks), so Going Dutch may be renewed to fill the back half of the hour slot. Murder in a Small Town had pretty consistent viewer numbers in the 2 million range, which put it about par with Doc. Assuming FOX wants scripted content (they seem to pair things back every couple of years on the scripted front, so that is a significant 'if'), Murder in a Small Town should be renewed.
