Granted, I don't know a whole lot about how TV ratings work, but at what level does a show typically get cancelled?
Also, is the second half of season 7 a sure thing, or is it still possible that the show might just suddenly be cancelled before 2013 even gets here?

South Park, Tosh.0 and Workaholics all pull 2 million plus viewers.
Sorry Mongo, Futurama is not the highest rated show on CC.
The past ten days' Comedy Central ratings, which are what I am looking at: Wednesday Aug 23 Futurama CMDY 10:00 PM 1071 0.6 Daily Show CMDY 11:00 PM 853 0.4 Tuesday Aug 22 TOSH.O CMDY 10:00 PM 1022 0.5 TOSH.O CMDY 9:27 PM 969 0.5 Monday Aug 21 (nothing makes the list) Sunday Aug 20 (nothing makes the list) (no listing for Saturday Aug 19) Friday Aug 18 (nothing makes the list) Thursday Aug 17 Daily Show CMDY 11:00 PM 1.403 0.6 Colbert Report CMDY 11:31 PM 1.154 0.5 Wednesday Aug 16 Daily Show CMDY 11:00 PM 1.726 0.6 Futurama CMDY 10:00 PM 1.179 0.6 Colbert Report CMDY 11:31 PM 1.079 0.5 Tuesday Aug 15 Daily Show CMDY 11:00 PM 1.774 0.8 Colbert Report CMDY 11:31 PM 1.217 0.5 TOSH.O CMDY 10:00 PM 1.074 0.6 TOSH.O CMDY 9:27 PM 1.046 0.5 BURN, THE CMDY 10:30 PM 0.926 0.5 Monday Aug 14 Daily Show CMDY 11:00 PM 1.795 0.8 Colbert Report CMDY 11:31 PM 1.241 0.6 COMEDY CENTRAL ROAST CMDY 9:13 PM 0.827 0.4 These ratings are for the entire day. Only "The Daily Show" normally gets higher ratings (and sometimes "Colbert Report"). You were saying?

I was talking all time ratings for new episodes of CC shows period, not just stuff that aired the same day as VIVA MARS VEGAS.
I think were on different pages here.
Blah balhaahaha blah... you were saying? What is going on with Comedy Central? All of its shows this week seem to have fallen off a cliff!

Guys, Futurama isn't going anywhere. Now I know that it's the truth. According to Comedy Central, the ratings don't matter. Like previously said, the profits/stocks do. And I think they're doing pretty good right now.
Plus, on the Comedy Central tumblr post to this guy's question about Season finale, it said "if you want to get really technical about it. Futurama’s not going anywhere."
So hopefully that means something.

Well, for one thing, Daily Show and Colbert Report are airing repeats. They'll be back next week, but people tend not to watch those shows when they are merely repeats.

He just told you; he knows it for FOR FACT. Clearly, he has fact to back up his statement, we don't need to ask any further questions.

Still not clear, is 7B a sure thing or is it a real possibility the show could be abruptly cancelled?

Not only that, but it is already in production. Most of the writing, some of the voice acting and the initial steps of the animation have already begun for 7B.

Good ratings compared to the rest of the season. Let's just hope that next year's ratings won't be ANYTHING like this!

Wow, this is just like last season.
People don't have the chance on Wednesdays, or AKA Work Days. So once they get done and rush home, they only make it for the second episode. :/
Why do we always get these kinda ratings? I blame the lack of advertising. In 2010 and 2011, there were ads for the new season on alot of channels, like TBS, Adult Swim, Hell even MTV!
But also, I am surprised that the shocking cancellation news didn't help raise viewers. I thought that might have gotten us some new fans! Oh well......
With these kinda ratings, Futurama is doomed, as previously announced.

This is a nightmare. Somebody please invent a suicide booth for me. These ratings are getting really bad. I guess alot of people lost all hope for the show. Soon we're going to be getting 600,000 viewers a week.

Dude, I am still blaming the Thursday to Wednesday night shift. Also, the lack of advertising too. We lost ALOT of viewers from that. Last season was a perfect example. Everybody probably DVRed it, or bought it from iTunes. Or hell, waiting for the DVD releases. Wednesday just isn't a good day for people.

Consider me a part of the problem for Season 7A. I didn't have TV at the time, so I just waited for it to come to Netflix. An agonizingly long wait. Currently, I have Comcast. I was surprised to find that this show cannot be legally streamed on Comcast's OnDemand, on Hulu, or any other legal medium I am aware of. Can we consider that to be a part of the problem, as well?  It may be due to the fact that this show is owned by Fox (News Corp) by broadcast by Comedy Central (Viacom). But still...

Not that I'm rejoicing at the show's low ratings or anything, but at this point it seems totally irrelevant to me whether the show brings in a bunch of viewers or not. Comedy Central has canceled it, and I don't think awesome ratings are going to change any of the executives' minds. It's still probably more economically viable to air these episodes to low ratings than to not air them at all, so it's not like bad ratings are going to prevent the network from airing the ten remaining episodes. Moreover, as the show has always done pretty well in terms of its DVD sales, it's not like Fox is going to hold back on releasing 7B on DVD in December. These low ratings literally have no effect on anything, as far as I'm concerned. Honestly, I find the fact that the show's been canceled kind of liberating. I don't feel obligated to watch the episodes the moment they air; I don't feel obligated to tell other people how great the show is so as to improve its ratings. Instead, I can just sit back and enjoy the rest of the series at my leisure, knowing that nothing I do will change the fact that the show will be ending in ten short weeks. I agree with MuchAdo that it deserves to die with dignity, so despite the fact that it is my favorite show and it will always hold a very special place in my heart, I'm almost happy to see it go: I don't want it to go on interminably and embarrass itself even more than it already has. I'm fairly pleased with the season thus far, so if things continue in this manner, I'll be fine with this being Futurama's last hurrah.
