The surf will stay up, if TVLine readers have their say.

As of today at 2 pm ET, when our poll closed, it was the freshman Fox drama Rescue HI-Surf that topped the standings with just shy of 13% of your votes.
Season 1 of Rescue HI-Surf — which films in Hawai'i and stars Zoe Cipres, Kekoa Kekumano, Arielle Kebbel, Robbie Magasiva, Adam Demos and Alex Aiono — averaged 2.8 million total viewers (with delayed playback), ranking No. 5 out of the seven dramas Fox aired this TV season; in the coveted 18-49 demo, it places third (behind only Doc and the cancelled 9-1-1: Lone Star). The island drama delivered 65% audience retention out of lead-in Lone Star, and was this season's 10th-most watched new broadcast drama (out of 12).
Two NBC dramas placed second and third in this year's poll: Law & Order: SVU, which is down 17% in viewers vs. last year (now airing opposite CBS' freshman hit Matlock) and out of the 11 dramas NBC has fielded this season ranks No. 4 in audience; and The Irrational, which is down 25% from its freshman run and ranks No. 7. Rounding out the Top 5 are NBC's Law & Order and ABC's Doctor Odyssey.
Among sitcoms in this year's poll, Fox's Animal Control led the pack and placed 12th overall with 3.4% of your votes.
Meanwhile, residing at the bottom of our 24-show poll, Fox's Grimsburg mustered not even half a percent of the votes. Grim, indeed.
Fun fact! Five of the Top 10 shows in TVLine's 2024 poll wound up getting renewed. And out of last year's Bottom 5, at least two wound up scoring additional seasons.
