There’s been no shortage of TV shows about doctors who have lots of problems. Some are ratings hits while others are cancelled after only one season. How’s Rush on USA Network been doing? Will it get a second season?
Rush revolves around a talented and handsome physician (Tom Ellis) who had it all — but then lost it in one fateful night. Six years later, he’s a private doctor who treats less-than-squeaky-clean clientele in Los Angeles. The rest of the cast includes Harry Hamlin, Larenz Tate, Odette Annable, and Sarah Habel.
Launching in mid-July, the first episode of Rush attracted 1.7 million viewers with a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. It wasn’t an impressive start for a scripted show on USA.
For the episodes that followed, the numbers have bounced all around — up and down like a ping-pong ball. Last week’s installment hit series highs while the previous week hit new series lows. It’s difficult to explain but, when the ratings get this low, it doesn’t take many Nielsen viewers to watch or not watch a show to cause a dramatic shift in the ratings. Still, it is unusual.
Like Satisfaction, Rush has very poor ratings — even when compared to the rest of USA’s ailing scripted series. It seems very likely that USA will cancel Rush but, given the cable channel’s current situation, it could easily go either way.
But, what do you think? Do you like the RushTV show on USA? If you ran the network, would you cancel or renew it for a second season?
10/2 update: USA has cancelled Rush after one season of 10 episodes.
We love this show. Please renew for a second season!! The characters, actors and scripts are all great. I look forward to it every week.
yes they should keep Rush. it is an amazing show that shows how crooked even “good” people are. from the head of the hospital, to the board, to the drug guy, to actors, and everybody that lives there is a good and bad side to everyone and this doesn’t cover it up even for its hero. the finale left my heart in my stomach.
Please keep this show going! We Love it and can’t wait to see what’s to come.
Love the show please keep it on!!
This movie is different than the other drama ‘medical’ tv series.
Not only it’s VERY entertaining, it could perfectly happen in real life.
PLEASE, continue this sees….
Absolutely renew rush. Best show on usa network!!!
I say keep Rush! I love it, USA you have a good one, do not blow it! Whomever does not like it, do not watch it! It’s to many stupid, non-funny shows that is on and keep getting renewed! Why??????????? Let Rush do what he do and leave well enough alone! Great cast, and it works!
