ABC’s The Family received another mediocre rating of 0.8 for its new episode this past Sunday, with 3.15 million viewers.  The viewership total was very similar to the week prior, with only a slight uptick.  However, it still marks the highest rating and viewership total for the show in four weeks, and progress is progress, despite the numbers still being significantly lower than they were for the debut episode.

There is still no word on whether or not the series will be cancelled or renewed.  This season is set to have a “season finale” rather than a series finale, and there has been no indication that the show was meant to last only one season.  Furthermore, the reviews for the show are still solid on many sites, such as the 7.4/10 it has on IMDb and the 7.6/10 it has on TV.com.  Time will tell if ABC decides to renew The Family, though with a mix of mediocre ratings but generally favorable reviews, its status really remains up in the air at this point.
