The 9 highest-rated canceled shows: "Rob" was axed with 12 million viewers
http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/05/15/canceled-shows/
"Rob" had way more viewers than "Community," which was renewed. |

Well obviously if NBC had a comedy with Rob numbers, it would be renewed in a heartbeat and would likely be toted as the Show Of A Generation and make every entertainment magazine cover in the world. But since it was on CBS, expectations are higher, and Rob had to go.

Low rated shows can survive if they are cheap to produce

Can't say I'm sorry to see any of these go, in fact I'm actually glad that Rob is over. I think this will prove to be a precedent year in a changing of the tides. It's quite obvious that ratings are finally being taken less seriously with a growing number of factors that determine a show's fate. Some shows like Community should be thanking their lucky stars we live in the fan-driven internet era. It now seems if a show has enough dedicated followers, it can survive regardless of what the numbers say. As little as 10 years ago this phenomenon would not have happened.

So True! 20-30 Years ago if a show got 8-10 Million viewers it would be cancelled after 8 Episodes or even less! But now we got Cable and lot and lot of Channels and more choices! As well at the Internet and Hutu. Now the network offer Full Episodes of all their shows on their website just hours after they aired.

This is why overall audience is not telling. Rob had a huge lead-in and didn't hold much of it in live ratings. Its lead-in Big Bang has heavy same day DVR ratings but even with the live only ratings Rob wasn't cutting it by holding much. Also a factor was the show didn't come out too well.
Those ratings EW gave looks like seven day ratings as they look a little high. |

No, Rob's ratings are a little off on that site. It looks like either premiere ratings or seven day ratings.
Mike & Molly is getting about 9-10 million a week in live+same day. |

NBC canceled Harry's Law which was getting almost 10 million viewers. It doesn't make any sense how the moronic execs make their decisions. I hope Rules of Engagement doesn't get the axe too.
