ABC recently cancelled several shows (Mixology, Suburgatory, Betrayal, etc.) and renewed many others (Resurrection, Revenge, The Goldbergs, etc.). What about the new Black Box series that airs on Thursday nights?
The show revolves around a beautiful and brilliant neuroscientist (Kelly Reilly) who’s hiding the fact that she’s bipolar. The rest of the cast includes Ditch Davey, David Ajala, Terry Kinney, Ali Wong, David Chisum, Laura Fraser, Siobhan Williams, and Vanessa Redgrave.
The show debuted on April 24th to a poor 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.87 million viewers. The ratings have gotten even worse as the weeks have progressed. This week’s installment hit a new low with a 1.1 rating and 4.31 million.
While ABC hasn’t cancelled Black Box, they surely will. The ratings have just been too low to be renewed for a second season.
The question now is, “Will all of the episodes air?” There are nine episodes remaining. If the ratings keep going down, the network could easily pull the show and replace it with reruns. Hopefully they’ll either air or release them so the show’s small audience can see them.
What do you think? Do you think that Black Box should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Do you think ABC should air all of the episodes they have?
This is a great show! Don’t cancel it!
Please please do not cancel this show
It’s rates right up there with Rookie Blues. It’s on edge seat watching.
I love this show! It is my favorite! Renew it!
Most Def!!! Love this show!
Please do not cancel the show. I feel like the country needs to know more about bipolar disorder. And I think that it’s uplifting to know that with her disability she still became a very good neurologist. I hope that you give the show more of a chance. You have a great star in Vanessa Redgrave. The show has a wonderful lineup of stars. I can see a lot of different ways that it can go. Most definitely we need a season two.
Show all of the episodes please and give it a fighting chance. Every episode gets better!
please air all episodes!
I love this show and Kelly Reilly plays a convincing person with bipolar.
Please show them all love this show.
This show is awesome! Please don’t cancelit, it is my favorite show.
They can’t cancel Black Box!! I love this show, it makes me look at things from a different perspective. I need Back Box!!
Great show learned somethings about bipolar and helped me with my step dad
I very much like the show Black Box. I hope they don’t cancel. If they do then I would like it if they showed all episodes.
How unfair! ABC didn’t give this show a chance. It is summer and it has no lead in.
I love Blackbox!!! Like House but much more intriguing. I love the success of medical cases and her life struggles. Hate that the ratings have gone down, and the show may be cancelled. Hope you can keep it alive. Thanks
Just started watching this on my dvr…I really like it…it’s greys anatomy meets house meets home land…I love it!!
I love Black Box! I really hope it is renewed. It’s an excellent medical drama, and has interesting characters. I love Kelly Reilly as the brilliant doctor. The show is definitely a step-up from Grey’s Anatomy.
