The outlook for Cooper’s Guide has gone from bad to worse.  The show received another dismal rating this past Sunday, with a 0.5 rating and 1.09 million viewers.  However, that’s not the worst news regarding the show.

The next new episode of the show is set to air at its regular time at 7:30 next Sunday.  After that, its future is bleak.  The episode that was set to air on April 24th has instead been pre-empted by Fox in favor of a Simpsons re-run to lead into a new episode of The Simpsons.  The following week, on May 1st, Fox will be airing the American Country Countdown Awards from 8-10PM with a lead-in of animated series such as Bob’s Burgers.  That means the next new episode of Cooper’s Guide may not air until May 8th, if its even airs at all.  Fox could very well scrap the comedy by then, resulting in three episodes that were produced but could never air.  At this point the writing seems to be on the wall for the show, and cancellation seems likely, if not imminent.
