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?
Black Box is a great show! I missed episodes because when it came back from hiatus, they switched the time. Please don’t cancel it, it is so much better than most.
Don’t cancel black box
You have to give summer shows a chance. A lot of people are on vacation and it is hard for these summer shows to find an audience. Give it a second season.

Give Blackbox another season!! I Think it’s a great show with great actors.
I hope you give it as chance. With over 10 million people (in the US alone) diagnosed with Bipolar illnesss, this is the first show I’ve ever seen that gave any insight at all into the disorder. It was different, and intriguing, and the doctor with the lead role is a great actress. There are enough REALITY SHOWS…I hope you leave it on! Yeah, the writing could use a little help but it has potential. The book, Unquiet Mind is similar, although nonfiction..it is about a doctor who somehow got through medical school with Bipolar illness and it was a… Read more »
