Ratings history
Behrendt's show was one of four syndicated talk shows to debut in the fall of 2006 (Rachael Ray, Dr. Keith Ablow, and The Megan Mullally Show were the other three), and much like every series except for Rachael Ray suffered in the ratings. During the first sweeps period of the new season, The Greg Behrendt Show was actually the lowest rated of the four new syndicated offerings with an 0.7 rating. [1] As 2007 came, the ratings improved slightly, with Behrendt actually pulling an 0.9 to pass Megan Mullally for third (although after the latter program's cancellation), but the ratings were still not good enough for Sony to keep the show going and they announced its cancellation on January 25, 2007, making it the second of the new fall talk shows to get the ax (The Megan Mullally Show, canceled on January 4, was the first, with Dr. Keith Ablow rounding out the list in February). The Greg Behrendt Show continued to air new episodes until the end of February, at which point the show went into reruns which continued until September 7, 2007.
