What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, the B Positive TV show stars Annaleigh Ashford, Thomas Middleditch, Kether Donohue, Sara Rue, Izzy G., Terrence Terrell, Linda Lavin, David Anthony Higgins, and Darryl Stephens with Hector Elizondo, Jane Seymour, Ben Vereen, Jim Beaver and Anna Maria Horsford recurring. The story begins with Drew (Middleditch), a therapist and newly divorced dad, who is in need of both a new kidney and a social life. He runs into Gina (Ashford), a rough-around-the-edges former high school acquaintance who volunteers one of her own kidneys. Together, Drew and Gina form an unlikely and life-affirming friendship. During the process, Gina discovers that the happiness she’d been seeking all along could be found in the form of giving. In season two, Drew starts his new life with Gina’s healthy new kidney. Meanwhile, Gina inherits a surprise fortune from a patient at Valley Hills, the assisted living facility where she works, and this leads her to make a big change in a positive direction.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of B Positive averaged a 0.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.48 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 21% in the demo and down by 4% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how B Positive stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
B Positive has been cancelled, so there will not be a third season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew B Positive for season three? Last season, this sitcom was one of the network’s lower-rated comedies but still did pretty well compared to other shows. Once CBS comedies get established, they tend to have long runs — the trick is to survive past a first or second season (The Unicorn comes to mind). In its second season, B Positive ranks 15th out of 20 scripted shows so, I think it could be cancelled. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

B pos is the best show on. You better bring it back,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My entire family loved B positive. We built our Thursday night in a way to never miss this show. It was unique, hilarious and what entertainment should be: brilliant!! Please bring B Positive back!!!
Please bring B Positive back. It was such a fun show.
Please renew this show. We all need an uplifting, funny and kind show! Gina and Drew are adorable. Gina’s loving, caring, selflessness with her residents is heartwarming.
PLEASE renew! There are a few shows that need to go. But NOT this one!!
Return the show, for the love of god!!
Please don’t cancel B Positive ! I absolutely love this show. It is one of the few entertaining good clean sitcoms on TV. I actually schedule my Thursday evening around watching this program and I never miss it. It will be a great loss if this comedy is cancelled.
I enjoyed watching this quirky n funny show. Hope it continues to thrive as the positive n comedic show I’d like to continue watching. We certainly need more sitcoms like this one! B positive!
I’be enjoyed the B Positive show. I’ve watched both seasons and Please give us a season 3. It’s a nice comedy and we need nice shows in this world!!
We got hooked on B-Positive in the first season because of its unusual premise. The two leads (Drew
and Gina) are very amusing. Now that the medical aspect of the storyline has been phased out,
they’ve done a pretty good job of moving into a somewhat different scenario. I hope they keep
Drew as a main character. Gina is such a natural comic as well, and Linda Lavin seems to get the
funniest lines. We hope it gets renewed and maybe moved to a slightly earlier time slot.
We kind of started watching the show by accident as it was preceded by Ghosts when it premiered. We really enjoy the show, it’s funny, silly fun and enjoyable for a change. We don’t really watch much “network” TV anymore and B Positive left us with a “feel good” feeling at the end of the show! It is “keeper” in our book!!!!
Please renew I the show
This was the only show I actually stayed home and watched all the time I loved
Please, please, please don’t cancel this show. I love it. It’s the only show I really look forward to on Thursday night.
