Surviving Jack is an American sitcom that aired as a mid-season replacement on Fox as part of the 2013–14 American television season. On May 8, 2013, Fox placed a thirteen-episode order for the single-camera comedy. The pilot is written by Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker, and the series is based on Halpern's autobiographical book I Suck at Girls. On October 25, 2013, the order of episodes was cut to eight, due to scheduling restrictions.
On May 7, 2014, Fox canceled the series after one season, leaving a single episode unaired which later aired in New Zealand on TV2.
Set in Southern California, in 1991, the series centers on Jack Dunlevy, an ex-military man and no-nonsense guy who becomes a full-time parent when his wife decides to go to law school. He takes an unorthodox approach to keeping his teenagers, Frankie and Rachel, in line.
Surviving Jack scored 8.5 out of 10 on IMDb and 65 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 24 "generally favorable" reviews. On another review aggregator site, Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 68% rating with an average rating of 6.2 out of 10, based on 28 reviews.
