Reception

The show received negative reviews from critics, scoring a 36/100 in Metacritic, with viewers agreeing with the critics, scoring it at a 4.1/10.[4] The Los Angeles Times has noted "There's nothing here you couldn't imagine from the premise, but there's also nothing wrong with what's here: McGraw is a good foil for Grammer, and Grammer is good at what he does."[5] The New York Post panned the show: "Hank is one of the worst new (or old) comedies of this or many other seasons".[6]

Cancellation

Hank was officially cancelled on November 11, 2009 amidst low ratings and bad reviews.[3] A total of ten episodes of the series have been produced, leaving five episodes unaired. ABC stated that they had no immediate plans to air the remaining episodes. Special programs and reruns of comedy shows aired in its place.[3] In a December 2009 interview with Jay Leno, Kelsey Grammer admitted that he had initially called Warner Bros. to ask that the show be cancelled because it was too unfunny.[7] The unaired episodes have since aired in the UK on BT Vision and in Croatia on Doma TV.
