Rating the Ratings: Once the show that made Fox somewhat relevant on Friday night, Kitchen Nightmares had a pretty brutal sixth season. It wasn't as bad as it looked like it could be when it premiered at a dreadful 0.9, down nearly half year-to-year. In fact, every single episode after the premiere actually did better than 0.9. But it still would up at a level well below almost everything that had come before, and Fox again became a Friday afterthought. Because Fox may well run light on Friday options again next season, Kitchen Nightmares eked out another renewal. But with Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef thriving again this summer, it now feels increasingly likely this will be the first of Gordon Ramsay's cooking shows to come to an end. Grade: D.
