Canceled after two seasons around the same time as "The Real O'Neals," the comedic series "Dr. Ken" was loosely based on the life of comedian and professional doctor Ken Jeong.

"In season 2, the show has averaged 5.1 million viewers per episode, with a 1.1 in the 18-to-49 demo, which was down from its first season," noted Entertainment Weekly.
