I for one really hope that Fox renews SYTYCD for Season 18. Season 17 was a disappointment
because of the changes in judges, voting and calibre of contestants. I missed Mary and Nigel who were the heart of the show. The other guest judges have been awesome in the past. They all brought their passion and expertise to the panel. I missed Season 1 but picked it up right away when I discovered such a show existed on TV. This show has such a loyal following over a wide range of demographics. Fox will be missing the mark by many miles if they do not renew this wonderfully entertaining and much loved program. Please,please ,please Fox bring it back to its former glory. PLEASE!!!!!

I thought this past season was the worst ever. I thought Twitch was a good judge. The other two, not so much. I loved this show a few years back. They need to keep bringing in the top notch choreographers too. The talent was pretty good this year, but not as good as in years past.

I can say that Nigel is one of the most educate and elegant judge from so many shows. I love this art-gymnastic-acrobatic story telling dance show! Congratulations Nigel and comp!

Please bring this show back! Less sitcoms and more dancing. I really don't know why it is not being picked up, not to mention all the rating and amazing dancing skills showed throughout the years.

I watched SYTYCD since season 1. And really miss it. I even went to the tour show 3 times but missed the last one, it moved. If they can do all these other reality shows, they should be able to do it… there are other dance shows out there and there’s no reason the choreographers can’t wear masks as they’re teaching … please please come back, it can’t be that expensive of a show to do.

I am a die-hard fan of so You think You can dance since season 1. I've been watching and cheering and crying and just loving every minute, every episode and just wanting more and more. I have grown to love this show and I want it back! I love the judges, I love the guest judges, I love the dancers and their stories. I love the auditions, and the choreographer's, OMG are just totally outstanding and how they interpret their dance routines and I love how a lot of dancers go on to other shows expanding their careers etc. Please please bring back this incredible show that showcases so much talent and is so exhilarating to watch!! I miss you SYTYCD. I GREW UP TAKING DANCE CLASS AND I LOVE DANCING MYSELF. I WISH I WOULD HAVE TAKEN DANCE MORE SERIOUSLY AND PURSUED IT BUT IT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH THESE YOUNG TALENTS OUT HERE NOW FOLLOWING THEIR DREAMS. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON 17.

I love So You Think You Can Dance. I have not missed a season and really hope that it will return. It's a wonderful opportunity for young talent. I like Nigel and Mary on the judging panel. I think they should bring back other judges like Christina Applegate or Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Misty Copland was also a great judge. Please bring this show back.

This has been the most wonderful show I have ever seen. I have watched religiously since the first episode of Season One. I've been to every tour. The talent and the choreography are the best of the best. But please please bring back the format from Season Two and seasons from that point forward. More than watching these extraordinary dances and dancers, I have been totally entertained and invested in getting to know the contestants. Season 15 - it was so disappointing not to get to know the dancers and invest in them as people. Nigel, you are one of the most caring, instructive and remarkable people on the planet. Wish I could tell you in person. I have learned so much about this artform from you and everybody involved. My appreciation of dance grows with every season.

Don't so worry. ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ isn't gonna be cancelled forever. There's plenty of time left for Fox Network to reconsider season 17.

I think it is amazing that the rules about posting forbid hate speech, yet Nigel is a sexist, fat shaming bully.

Hello, I'm in Australia and been a fan of this wonderful show all the way from series 3 when I first found it on Foxtel. I've been waiting for series 14 since June 2017 for it to air on Foxtel here in Brisbane, because it was aired in the United States then. Every week I search on Eleven where it's been aired before and also hunting on Fox 8. I can't watch SYTYCD on the internet, Australia is not permitted. So what's going on???? Where's my all time favourite show. Please put it on. Any fans in Australia, please write and ask for the show.

I have been a devoted fan of SYTYCD for many seasons. I agree with the majority that the change in format last year to using children didn't fly as it felt very Star Search like. I couldn't watch it as there was nothing to hold my interest. I appreciate that there are talented kids out there and applaud anything that helps them opportunities, but as other viewers have said, perhaps they require a different show with scholarships to a dance academy rather than money. I appreciate that judge Mary is an experienced dancer, but she is annoying. Adam is great as is any judge that has a genuine personality and dance experience to keep the interest of people with short attention spans. ?

I am really happy there will be a season 14 I have been a fan from season 1. I did not enjoy the kids show (I think if you want a kid show do it separate call it kids can dance or something the ages should be 13-17(under 12 I think is too young) with something other than money like scholarship to dance school or something). its nice to see these you people dance some with training and some that just have the natural talent.
The show should go back to the classic season 1 format. The shows was were memorable and the dancing was orginal with dances like ballroom, jazz, broadway, contempary,quick step etc.. too much hip hop, bollwood etc.. dances like that.
Bring back Mary, I like . the judges mia and adam. I also think it great to see the judges
preform, it lets the fans know they have talent,
Love the show no more kids and go back to the season 1 format.

Go back to the classic, season 1 format. Sometimes you have to go back to where you started. It worked!
18 and over. I loved Mary, Adam, and Mia, plus of course Nigel.

Okay, first of all. They need to revamp the show. And NO, don’t go back to the old formats of Mary and Nigel…I love Mary but come on, it’s tired. Let’s bring in some new young blood. Keep Misty Copeland on as judge – someone young and fun. Keep Nigel AWAY. Bring in more viewer participation!
Also, can we ALL please leave the poor kids alone? I watched the whole of Season 13, those kids were talented. Beyond what I ever expected. Cut them some slack people! If some of you were put through the show like they were, you may not survive – but those 13 years olds did!
The concept is stellar…where else are you going to get that much good dancing talent on television anymore? So please don’t cancel the show FOX? Just like, get creative and pull in new audiences.
PS. No more celebrity judges with no ounce of dance knowledge please? And stop it with the plug ins and product placement?

no more kids. disagree. tired theme on tv reality shows in general. nothing really original. nothing against the talent of those who competed. but i much prefer the adult version. in fact i didn't finish the season. if it doesn't renew its academic though.

Did not watch the kids show past the first 15 minutes. There's room for it, but not in place of SYTYCD as we love it. Make it a separate slot.

Please don't bring the kids back. They were talented, yes but the show was so corny. The dances the adults do are so much more professional and they are more interesting to watch
