In my previous weekly blog, I noted that <em>Alex, Inc.<\/em>\u2019s premiere ratings were not a bad sign, given that ABC\u2019s <em>Speechless <\/em>was renewed and had similar numbers. However, this decline in ratings illustrates that, in all likelihood, <em>Alex, Inc.<\/em> will not meet <em>Speechless<\/em>\u2019 numbers, a troubling sign for Zach Braff\u2019s new show. Another troubling sign is that ABC\u2019s <em>The Goldbergs <\/em>saw a 1.3 rating and 5.4 million viewers, yet once <em>Alex, Inc. <\/em>started, these viewers did not stay. This shows that there is little carryover between the two shows. Overall, <em>Alex, Inc.<\/em>\u2019s second episode ratings allow for doubt to arise. Unless the show can find its stride in the next few weeks, there is little to suggest that it can be renewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex, Inc.\u2019s second week on air did not meet expectations.
