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?
I am addicted to this show! It has taken me a long time to find a series I love as am addicted to. It truly is a show I can relate to and understand. Mental illnesses need to be more open so that people understand them and can help. Please do not cancel this show! I love it! I wish it was on at least twice a week!
Please don’t cancel this show! The cast is outstanding!
AMAZING SHOW!!! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!!!!!!!!

Do not cancel Black Box, it is my all time favorite show to watch during the week.
Best Show on tv… Cannot be cancelled!!
This is an exceptional outstanding show as well as the actors!!! Kelly Reilly is phenomenal in her portrayal of a “less than perfect” (Bi-Polar), Dr. Black!! This is a REAL show in the real world!! Please bring it back for another season!!!
Please! keep black box it’s a great show.
Renew!!
Black box has been a refreshing and original show. Very well written and the acting superb! We definitely hope it is NOT cancelled. At the minimum all of the episodes ought to be aired. The plots shed light on issues that are generally misunderstood such as Bi-Polar disorder & treatment, co-dependency and closed adoptions. Too bad, if ABC cancels it, just another reason to not tune in to that station.
The last few episodes have gotten much better. Love the show . Informative on bi-polar disorder. Hope it is renewed.
Black Box is excellent do not cancel it.
Dont cancle the show i want to see it all after the last season its eating me alive plz show everything and more!!!!!
PLEASE RETURN THE BLACK BOX..IS EXCELLENT..OUTSTANDING IN EVERYWAY…
