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?
A great show!!! Please keep it on!!!
Jeez stop cancelling all these new shows! Im going to stop getting involved with abc’s shows because its useless to watch them. People like myself watch it on demand due to a busy schedule as do other people. Blackbox is an amazing show with a great story line!
Keep it on! I am learning so much!!
Black Box is a great show for an intelligent audience. The acting is outstanding and the content is interesting and relevant to society. Please don’t cancel this show….I love it!
I really like this show_watch it on demand when I miss it.
Please do not cancel this show. My neighbor and I love this show. We look forward to it every week. I have a relative and a good friend that is bipolar. It is better then most TV shows today.

I think they should renew the series I like her two sides of her live.. and how she solves her patients ills
Love the show so of course you are going to cancel it. Bummer!!
Keep Black Box on the air.
This show is spectacular. Having depression myself I feel there is so much of this show that I feel connected to. Please don’t cancel.
It’s a different time now than it was when ratings really mattered. People have DVR and different ways of watching the show. What about more than one person in the room? I think you can take the ratings you have and double or triple it. It’s a great show and people love it because the content is not only informative but entertaining. Please don’t take it away from me for I fear if you do I might end up in the cube.
I do not get interested in too many shows that are ingoing like soap operas… But this show is great and I look forward to turning on my TV or DVR to watch it every Thursday. Don’t take a show away that has such a great story line . If you need to take something off, take off a cop show. They are redundant
I love this show!Give it a chance. Fall and winter will bring people in and they watch more television.
Please, please don’t cancel Black Box. I absolutely LOVE the show. It’s interesting, entertain ing and informative. Well wriitten with an excellent cast!!!
