You can say that about ay network, keeping shows around longer than they most likely should though. I mean, Fox renewed Bob's Burgers, but not The Chicago Code. Ok then...ugh.
Fox needs to learn to stick with shows that just might need a bit more time. Yes, Fox perhaps has given shows more time or even brought them back, but some of the choices don't make sense IMO.
Breaking In wasn't the best comedy on the air by any means, but the ratings for it are higher than The Middle (on ABC) and it was already renewed. Just doesn't seem to make any sense...and usually ABC is more picky than Fox. The Chicago Code was a very good show. It may have done much better if Fox gave it more time.

They alter the ratings after the fact based on PVR viewing. Not sure how they do it, but I've seen the ratings altered the next day or later.
For those interested, The Futon Critic is always a good source for TV info. Here is the listings for shows that have been renewed, cancelled, etc.:
