Rob Lowe was on local radio station the other day and they brought this up. He said its a comedy so they figured that this association was picked for that reason. (paraphrasing but thats the jist of it)

Looks like Sunny has averaged roughly a 500-600k average viewers on initial airing since moving to FXX, so yeah I don't think Your the Worst numbers are concerning to the network.
Not to mention those shows skew young and probably pick up a lot of their viewers from on demand and streaming.

One of the poster tag lines is "there's no one he can't get off", so I think they've figured out the innuendo.

Yeah, if the moderately amusing at best Man
FX should have just kept their comedies on Thursdays and Fox should have made a different channel than when they lost the soccer rights.
Grandfathered was a lot funnier imo. Grinder was kinda boring.

I enjoyed The Grinder quite a bit...a lot of subtle humor. The kid who plays Fred Savage's son stole every scene he was in
Agents of SHIELD with the 1.7! Four tenths higher than the season 2 finale (and my prediction) ... really surprised by that. Everything did better than I thought it would, actually.
Agents of SHIELD 1.3 1.7 (+0.4)
Grandfathered 1.2 1.5 (+0.3)
The Grinder 0.9 1.5 (+0.6)
The Muppets 1.9 2.0 (+0.1)
Limitless 1.7 1.9 (+0.2)
Scream Queens 1.1 1.4 (+0.3)
Agents of SHIELD 1.3 1.7 (+0.4)
Grandfathered 1.2 1.5 (+0.3)
The Grinder 0.9 1.5 (+0.6)
The Muppets 1.9 2.0 (+0.1)
Limitless 1.7 1.9 (+0.2)
Scream Queens 1.1 1.4 (+0.3)

I was really disappointed with episode 2 of the Muppets. Hopefully it was just a 1 episode dip and they can get it back on track.
I thought the first episode was super boring :/

Grease? Oh god.
You know, if Glee was around, I bet they would have tried a live episode. lol

Code Black 2.2 I think the strong cast will draw viewers in.

Watched Grandfathered and didn't laugh once. That'll be off the DVR.
Gotta check out Grinder at some point this week.
Edit: just finished The Grinder and really liked it.

I think the original premise will do most of the heavy lifting.

CBS really just nailed it in the past few years, barring some hiccups.
Really.
Could not care about anything on that channel besides that. *shrug* People in here mourning Almost Human and I'm like "really? That didn't seem like a good hook." Same with most other Fox shows. As soon as Fox as a channel pops out I'm like "Oh, well... it'll be canceled or really bad eventually."
That, too. Fox did Joss really dirty. But no, I meant Dollhouse. I didn't watch Firefly during the original run sadly. It was the movie that brought me in to that.

Had the makings of a decent show:
Lone Star
Running Wilde
Pan Am
666 Park Avenue
Ben and Kate
Go On
The New Normal
Back in the Game
Trophy Wife
A To Z
Marry Me
I'd have maybe watched more although I can't say I liked it much:
Prime Suspect
The Playboy Club
Last Resort
Almost Human
Cristela
Forever
Red Band Society
Wasn't any good:
$h*! My Dad Says
Chase
Hellcats
Law & Order: LA
My Generation
No Ordinary Family
Outlaw
Outsourced
The Defenders
The Event
Undercovers
A Gifted Man
Allen Gregory
Charlie's Angels

H8R
Man Up!
Ringer
Terra Nova
The Secret Circle
Animal Practice
Emily Owens MD
Guys With Kids
Made in Jersey
Partners
The Mob Doctor
Betrayal
Dads
Dracula

Ironside
Lucky 7
Edit: Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
Sean Saves the World
Super Fun Night
The Crazy Ones
The Michael J. Fox Show
The Tomorrow People
We Are Men
Welcome to the Family
Bad Judge
Constantine
Gracepoint
Manhattan Love Story
Mulaney
Selfie (get ready for actual barbarians entering thread just to remind me that Selfie gets better over its long and illustrious run and I'm just not able to handle how good it is)
Stalker
State of Affairs
The McCarthys
Utopia
I literally don't remember what this is:
Better With You (I think this was a Kelsey Grammer comedy? He was a news anchor?)
Detroit 1-8-7
The Whole Truth
How To Be a Gentleman (vaguely remember David Hornsby)
I Hate My Teenage Daughter (Googled the key art after saying I didn't remember it and it sorta rings a bell)
Vegas (Michael Chiklis with bad virtual sets of a 60s Vegas, right?)
I guess what I'm saying is that by and large I think the aggregate viewership and cancellation/renewal decisions get it right. There has to be churn. It's necessary to make room for new ideas and free up talent to work on other stuff. Most of the time, bad stuff is cancelled. Of course, most of the time it's replaced with other bad stuff. But baby steps.
I'm guessing 1.9 for Code Black because TV is dying and it's on at 10 p.m. behind an aging Criminal Minds that's up against Empire and is behind Survivor, which debuted at a 2.5 last week and probably will drop to a 2.1 this week.
yeah.
and I'll say 2.0 for Criminal Minds' premiere. Chicago PD will be 1.7 and like it.

Code Black did even worse than I thought! I nailed Criminal Minds and Chicago PD, though, haha
As for Blackish, maybe the N-word subject matter turned people off? Wasn't that what the episode was about last night? I wasn't able to watch it so I don't know.
The Middle actually went up versus last week by 0.1 while Goldbergs dropped just 0.1, Modern Family dropped 0.3 and Blackish dropped 25 percent (0.6). Really weird night for ABC.

Man I loved Go On and the The New Normal. Those were both excellent shows that should still be on. Surprised to see Ben and Kate in that group though. My wife and I watched 2 episodes and both hated it.

Oh, right, the gun episode. Man, I have no idea why it dropped so much.
And it actually dropped 1.3 points from last week
The N Word ep was last week and it was greatness
It is insanely popular.
Hubris, I guess.
Their top comedy as a leadin doesn't hurt.
It'll most likely drop even more later. It'll still be Fox's strongest show but I wouldnt be surprised if it eventually falls to the low 4's this season

Is there a reason why Fox didn't put Empire at 8 and use it for a lead-in with those monster ratings? Is it because the subject matter only works in the 9 PM slot?
I can't stop laughing at this.
Move over Fast and the Furious, there is a new king in town.
So beautiful. xoxoxo
haha I was expecting this to be gif'd. like wtf
That's some incredible consistency. I haven't watched it but I know my sister and her family are loyal viewers.
