Fox’s summer staple So You Think You Can Dance, which was renewed for a ninth season in October, will undergo a format change, scaling down from two shows a week to one. “Fox have canceled the results show so I will have to change the format of SYTYCD,” the show’s co-creator/executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe tweeted today. “At least we have another season at the end of May.” The move comes days before SYTYCD‘s first Season 9 auditions, which will be held next week in Atlanta. “I’m certainly not mad at Fox — they have supported SYTYCD for 9 seasons,” Lythgoe wrote. “With the help of (Fox’s head of alternative) Mike Darnell I think we have some great new ideas.” SYTYCD, whose most recent eight season was down in the ratings from Season 7, will not be the first competition show to air once a week. Most recently, NBC’s The Voice started off that way before expanding to two nights following its early success.

It is not as if FOX needed the space in the summer for more original scripted programming. You would think since the results show registered higher than a pulse, FOX would keep it on in the summer.
The show is a money maker for FOX. Granted not as much as it has but still.
Hardly a fan of reality shows, but still the results show was popular still.
SYTYCD started season one with no results show
Not too hard to go back to the original format.
I’m really sorry to here that SYTYCD will cut the results show. SYTYCD is birthday present to me every year. It is a rare show that I watch with my husband,13 and 12 yr old daughters,and 8 yr old son. A true family show that we all enjoy and look forward to every season. We have only missed one season,and that was season two. I am disabled and do not get to enjoy many things with my family,as a family. I wish that FIX would reconsider and give SYTYCD and the fans back their results night!
Those result shows are lethal. They’re so boring Probably the only thing smart fox has ever done
Yeah the result shows are boring. So I guess they’ll just announce the results the following week or will it just be tweeted?
They were going into overkill with this show like they did with AI before toning that show down a bit…one night a week is perfectly fine and maybe a results show half way down the series is fine but not every week.
The show is great. The results show is better than most. Just keep conifers back.
