<P> In April 2014, Nigel Lythgoe appealed on Twitter to fans to share information about the show ahead of the 11th season's May premiere in an attempt to augment the show's ratings for the upcoming season and bolster its chances of renewal thereafter . The show was renewed for a 12th season, but ratings continued to decline, with an average of around 3.5 million viewers per show . FOX renewed the show for a 13th season, but with a drastically re-worked format focused on child dancers . Ratings declined further for the new version, with only five episodes breaking the 3 million viewer mark; the finale saw a series low viewership of just 2.27 million viewers . </P> <P> In 2016, a New York Times study of the 50 TV shows with the most Facebook Likes found that "in general", Dance "is more popular in cities, though it hits peak popularity in Utah". </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Season </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> First aired </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Last aired </Th> <Th> TV season </Th> <Th> Timeslot (ET) </Th> <Th> Season viewers </Th> <Th> Season ranking </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Date </Th> <Th> Viewers (in millions) </Th> <Th> Date </Th> <Th> Viewers (in millions) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> July 20, 2005 </Td> <Td> 10.30 </Td> <Td> Final Performances: September 28, 2005 </Td> <Td> 7.30 </Td> <Td> 2005 </Td> <Td> Wednesday 8: 00 pm </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season Finale: October 5, 2005 </Td> <Td> 8.20 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> May 25, 2006 </Td> <Td> 10.70 </Td> <Td> Final Performances: August 9, 2006 </Td> <Td> 10.10 </Td> <Td> 2006 </Td> <Td> Wednesday 8: 00 pm (performance) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season Finale: August 16, 2006 </Td> <Td> 10.70 </Td> <Td> Thursday 9: 00 pm (results) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> May 24, 2007 </Td> <Td> 9.50 </Td> <Td> Final Performances: August 15, 2007 </Td> <Td> 8.70 </Td> <Td> 2007 </Td> <Td> Wednesday 8: 00 pm (performance) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season Finale: August 16, 2007 </Td> <Td> 9.60 </Td> <Td> Thursday 9: 00 pm (results) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> May 22, 2008 </Td> <Td> 6.70 </Td> <Td> Final Performances: August 6, 2008 </Td> <Td> 9.00 </Td> <Td> 2008 </Td> <Td> Wednesday 8: 00 pm (performance) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season Finale: August 7, 2008 </Td> <Td> 9.70 </Td> <Td> Thursday 9: 00 pm (results) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> May 21, 2009 </Td> <Td> 8.80 </Td> <Td> Final Performances: August 5, 2009 </Td> <Td> 7.80 </Td> <Td> 2009 </Td> <Td> Wednesday 8: 00 pm (performance) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season Finale: August 6, 2009 </Td> <Td> 9.60 </Td> <Td> Thursday 9: 00 pm (results) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 6 </Td> <Td> September 9, 2009 </Td> <Td> 6.60 </Td> <Td> Final Performances: </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 2009 -
