Zap2It has an article about NBC’s foreboding move to exclude Father of the Pride from its November sweeps slate. “A sweeps hiatus is rarely good news for any show, but it could be particularly dire for Father of the Pride since episodes of animated shows take so much longer to complete than live-action series. NBC ordered additional scripts for the show earlier in the season but hasn’t given the go-ahead to make new episodes.” Zap2It goes on to state that the show has averaged about 9.6 million viewers per week, but mediocre ratings are not what will keep this pricey show on the air.
