The first episode registered a 1.4 in the 18-49 demographic and 9.45 million total viewers. It was in second place for the timeslot, behind Kitchen Nightmares in the demo. However, A Gifted Man easily won the timeslot in terms of total viewers, attracting nearly as many viewers as NBC, ABC, and CW combined.
Year-to-year, Gifted Man matched now-cancelled Medium’s demo number but improved on total viewership by more than 50%. CBS cancelled Medium with an average 1.4 rating so this wasn’t a great start.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

A Gifted Man is great.
Pleeeeease keep the show! I love it and religiously watch it every week. And I’ll go on Rogers on Demand to rewatch it at least once per episode! Love every single character in the show.
Love this show! Watch it every Friday. I wouldn’t normally write a request like this but that’s how much I like the show
Don’t cancel, brazilian people really love it, and the audience there is very hight.
Pleeeease, don’t cancel A Gifted Man, it really deserves more one season and it’s the only show that me and my family are interested on. Friday night is a complicated day for a good audience, you should consider that. In adiction, it is on the first season yet, so it has a big chance of growing. ”When you create something, you have to fight for it until the end”.
A gifted man is an excellent show. Brazilian people loves it. Please, keep this show on the air.
I know about five hundred brazilian friends in my area that are adiccted on this show, including me 🙂
A Gifted Man… is one of the best Drama that has been made in a long while, I have had enough of Cop Shows and forensics to last me a life time. A gifted man is different, touching on many people’s lives.
Keep it going as we need to see it.
I really enjoy A Gifted Man, it is one of the few television programs I watch. It’s a shame that every time I find a program I enjoy the networks cancel it. No wonder the networks often lose money, they have no idea what the T.V. viewing audience really wants. Do they really think 18-24 year olds are home on Friday night watching T.V.?
Love it. Refreshing idea. There are so many time slots with nothing to brag about, this is a bright spot.
I almost never watch any drama on TV, but this show has my attention. I’ve seen every episode as have many of my friends. We are well-educated, upper middle class consumers. From the perspective of the networks and advertisers it should be not just how many people watch a show but what is their spending power.

Please I love the show is very interesting and entertaining , the characters are
good examples of People good at their vocation and passionate about helping others.
It is a very feel good kind of show and believe me we need more programs like this at this
time of economic uncertainty. Thanks
Please keep Gifted Man On the air. Itis one of the best shows on air!
a gifted man is a lot better show then some of the shows that has already been renewed
Please. please, please leave GIFTED MAN alone. My husband and I just remarked how perfect the Friday night lineup was, until you removed CSI:New York. Gifted Man, CSI:New York and Blue Bloods was a fantastic combination.
