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?
Don’t cancel my favorite show
I like this show a lot. Please renew n don’t cancel
Love this show!! Please renew!!
Renew great show
I love Black Box! It was slow developing and now that it has we should give it a chance!
Renew black box !
If they cancel the show, then cable networks should pick it up. It is far superior that most shows. HBO, USA, Showtime do we have a show for you!!
Please don’t cancel this show,it’s my favorite
EXCELLENT show!! Beautifully written and superbly acted!!! Please renew it
We need more of this kind of TV. Intelligent, informative as well as entertaining.
Trully enjoyed it!
Great show! If you would air it during prime season and not summer, there would be more people watching. Get rid of the “reality” and put more well written shows on prime time.
I really enjoyed Black Box! Each episode showed me something fascinating about the challenges as well as the wide range of mental illness out there! I really learne quite a bit about Bi-Polar Disorder & other conditions through the stories told each week! There are umpteen medical shows out there but not many willing to tackle this side of medicine. Great show & superb acting!!! I hope this show will be renewed for next Spring’s tv season.
Renew this TV show! It is very interesting and actually makes you think. I’m a teenager and I enjoy it, my mom and I always watch it, and we hope to for another season.
I love black box
I like this show. I really like the actors . I hope that it isn’t cancelled. I even record the program is I am unable to watch it at that time.
Please, do not cancel this show. It is very good and the actors are very believable.
