What’s This TV Show About?
An animated family comedy series airing on the FOX television network, The Great North TV show stars Nick Offerman, Jenny Slate, Will Forte, Paul Rust, Aparna Nancherla, Dulce Sloan, Megan Mullally, and Alanis Morissette. The TV show follows the adventures of the Tobin family in Alaska. A single dad, Beef Tobin (Offerman) does his best to keep his weird bunch of kids close, especially his only daughter, Judy (Slate). Her artistic dreams lead her away from the family fishing boat and into the glamorous world of the local mall. The family also includes oldest brother Wolf (Forte) and his bride, Honeybee (Sloan); middle brother Ham (Rust); and Moon (Nancherla), the 10-year-old-going-on-50 little brother. While their mother is not in the picture, Judy seeks guidance from her new boss, Alyson (Mullally), and her imaginary friend, singer Alanis Morissette (Morissette), who appears to her in the Northern Lights.
Season Four Ratings
The fourth season of The Great North averaged a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 513,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season three, that’s down by 56% in the demo and down by 53% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take
Will FOX cancel or renew The Great North for season five? This show is co-produced by Disney’s 20th Century Fox Television and FOX’s own FOX Entertainment. At some point, I suspect The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers (now owned by Disney) will cost more than FOX wants to pay, or the House of Mouse will want the shows for its own outlets. Since The Great North is a co-production, I think there’s a better chance it will stay on FOX, and I suspect the network will keep it going. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
