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?

Finally a show I love, there are so few, and you cancel Rush. Someone earlier mentioned the lack of advertising. I agree. I told all my friends and they had never heard of it but loved it after viewing. Bring it back. Maybe another network will pick it up.
I love this show. I get an anxiety attack waiting for it to come on. I saved the shows and watched them more than 4 x each. Tom Ellis is hot and I love all the other characters. USA more than sucks. I only vaguely saw short clips advertising the show. No wonder no one watched. They didn’t know what it was. The first few shows were a little sketchy but then I was hooked. So, no intro, barely any advertising, who knew? Jerks. You are going to leave everyone that loves the show hanging after the tenth episode? Have… Read more »
