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?
Please keep the blackbox for more seasons I just love this show.!
This is such a quality show. The acting is terrific and the story lines are interesting and eye opening. It is such a refreshing change from the simple minded nonsense on TV these days.
PLEASE PLEASE DON’T CANCEL 🙁 🙁 – I AM DEALING WITH BI-POLAR AND FIND IT INFORMATIVE. PLEASE RE-CONSIDER AND GIVE IT MORE TIME. PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE BI-POLAR EXISTS!
I am bi polar and I am learning so much about my disorder through this show. Its very realistic. Please don’t cancel
Love this show, please don’t cancel it
I love this show and I think it would do much better in the regular season (fall). Please keep it.
This is my favorite show. I just love it! Kelly Reilly is an amazing actress. Please don’t stop this show. I think it might have started at the wrong time of the year when some people couldn’t watch who wanted to. Please do another season. I’m a nurse and I learn from the show too. Please!!
I am in love with this show. Kate is like Dr. HOUSE but on a more caring level. She struggles to be her true self which really reaches to many viewers. I cannot stop watching this show. Now that Esme knows that Aunt Kate isn’t her aunt, and BicBicman finally admits his feelings for her, it leaves me reeling for more. Lets not forget about Jhonny coming into play… my mind is blown. I do wonder who has recieved residency at the cube? Great show and should be give s second season.
I love this show. It is very interesting and informative. Also the acting is wonderful. I will be so upset if cancelled.
Please keep the show going. I think it will get more viewers, just need to give it some time.
Plz keep black box for 2nd season
Please don’t cancel this show. This show once given a chance is so addictive. Love it.
Keep it on!!!! Plllleeeeaaaasseee!!!
Please do not cancel Black Box. The show is actually not a stupid drama. The show is about unique sitautions that you learn to over come. The show is very inspiring and interesting.
Let us remember that Scandal was canceled at one time and you brought it back. WOW look at the ratings now. You have to give the show a chance. Give the people an opportunity to spread the word about Black Box. I’ve been telling everybody about it!!
The few episodes that have aired are not enough to cancel the show!
I agree! Scandal at one point was canceled and given a second chance and it’s so successful now. Given another season this show will blow up! It’s such a fantastic storyline and the medical portion of the show is spectacular. One more season will send this show’s ratings skyrocketing.
Please do not cancel this show, it is excellent in content …. why are all the demographics from 18-49 are we all suppose to roll up and die of boredom at age 49?
