Ratings Review: FAMILY TOOLS

With a series premiere date that is almost a full year after its was presented at the yearly network upfront, FAMILY TOOLS was nothing more than just summer burn-off. This was confirmed when series star JK Simmons was cast in a new series for the fall of 2013.

The sitcom could not keep viewers. Just about every episode drew less viewers than the previous episode. From the series premiere to the series finale, more than half of the audience gave up watching.

For the series run, FAMILY TOOLS drew an average of 3.8 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the Adults 18-49 ratings.
