<P> It has been rumoured and hinted at that the addition of co-star Leah Remini was an attempt to save the show from cancellation . Many suggested this theory is due not only to their great chemistry and ability to play off one another well, but also to capitalize on their successful run on The King of Queens a decade earlier . However, James insisted the choice was purely creative, as the writers felt they were running out of ideas, and he was unsure if it would continue beyond a second season . James also stated that the original plot line of the series was to have him as a single father, but the original producers gave him a wife instead . </P> <P> Despite the controversy surround the revamp, the series' ratings have remained steady . As of December 1, 2017, the series was averaging 8.2 million viewers (with delayed viewing) in the season, competing against more established Top 20 series Dancing with the Stars and The Voice . The series also performs well in the much - coveted 18 - 49 demographic, ranking as the fifth - highest rated program on CBS in that category . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Season </Th> <Th> Timeslot (ET) </Th> <Th> Episodes </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> First aired </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Last aired </Th> <Th> TV season </Th> <Th> Rank </Th> <Th> Avg . viewers (millions) </Th> <Th> 18--49 rating (average) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Date </Th> <Th> Viewers (millions) </Th> <Th> Date </Th> <Th> Viewers (millions) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Monday 8: 30 PM (1--5) Monday 8: 00 PM (6--24) </Td> <Td> 24 </Td> <Td> September 19, 2016 (2016 - 09 - 19) </Td> <Td> 11.08 </Td> <Td> May 8, 2017 (2017 - 05 - 08) </Td> <Td> 5.68 </Td> <Td> 2016--17 </Td> <Td> 32 </Td> <Td> 9.24 </Td> <Td> 2.1 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Monday 9: 00 PM (1--5) Monday 8: 00 PM (6--24) </Td> <Td> 24 </Td> <Td> September 25, 2017 (2017 - 09 - 25) </Td> <Td> 10.26 </Td> <Td> TBA </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> 2017--18 </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> <Td> TBD </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Season </Th> <Th> Timeslot (ET) </Th> <Th> Episodes </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> First aired </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Last aired </Th> <Th> TV season </Th> <Th> Rank </Th> <Th> Avg . viewers (millions) </Th> <Th> 18--49 rating (average) </Th> </Tr>
