Rick had the right idea, the trackers just never move the way people hope. Netflix almost never saves a show that a real network already killed, they want stuff they own or can buy cheap, and The Mick was a Fox show with a big cast and higher costs. The shows that actually come back are the ones with a studio shopping them around AND a cast that wants to do it, not just loud fans online. Streaming renewals run on money and rights, not how many people tweet about it. Fan campaigns feel like they work because we only hear about the handful that do, and the hundreds that flop get forgotten.

My buddy Rick in Mesa tried one, swore by it after.

Reminds me of my uncle who grilled steaks for 20 years with the lid open the whole time. Flames shooting up, charring the outside, raw in the middle, and he'd stand there proud as hell. Then my cousin came home from culinary school and shut the lid on him. You would've thought someone slapped his mother. He argued for a solid ten minutes about how his way built character. Turns out he just never bothered reading the manual that came with the grill. Some lessons you only learn when someone you trust stands next to you and does it different.
