This scares me that we fans have not made enough noise about this show. We need to be really loud about how much we like it or we will be sad fans. 

Yes!  This is the best, funniest show that most people don't even know about!!   I will be gutted if it's not renewed.  Nothing on television makes me laugh so much.  And with such a large, interesting mix of characters portrayed by so many talented actors - they have so many possibilities for keeping the storylines fresh and hilarious for many years.  Plus the setting is something that hasn't been done to death.

TVGuide.com is somewhat optimistic about the chances for renewal:

The Kids Are Alright

The Good News: These kids were doing alright, especially early in the season, with ratings above a 1.0 and a total audience above 5 million. And it's outperforming the Tuesday night comedy anchor black-ish, which is considered an easy renewal. It's sitting middle of the pack when compared to the rest of ABC's shows, but middle of the pack is probably good enough for a renewal these days. It's also an ABC production, so Disney doesn't have to split profits with anyone.

The Bad News: If ABC really wanted to be mean, it could look at the numbers for The Kids Are Alright's second half of the season. Once The Conners left as its lead-in at the end of its shortened season, ratings for The Kids Are Alright dipped dramatically with American Housewife airing before it. That trend isn't going to change next season, but ABC will likely renew this.

Fingers (and toes) crossed that ABC does the right thing.  

I hope so!  Although they pulled it last week to air the Bless this Mess pilot for the second time, and then this week their website was listing American Idol until they finally changed it some time today.  (I was going to start the episode thread last night and I went to abc.com to double check first and it wasn't listed on their 4/30 schedule page.)  So after that goof-up, TVGuide must have pulled the new episode from their "New Tonight" listing page and failed to put it back today.  I hope these goof-ups didn't effect the ratings!  It's so annoying!  The Kids Are Alright deserves a much wider audience and needs every viewer they can get.
