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 love this show ! I’m bipolar and it’s crazy to watch this it’s like looking into a window of my own life. Gives me hope know there is people who are like me .
This was the best and best produced new show of summer 2014. My friends and I want MORE Black Box. Kelly is amazing in every way!
Love the show! I’ve recently been diagnosed as bi-polar and am learning from the episodes. Please leave on the air. All characters are wonderful.
I think the show needs to stay on.
I Love Black Box !! Let’s is see all the Episodes ! Pleaseeee
I can’t believe they would cancell this show. I love this show and think it will do very well if given a chance. Please don’t cancel
I think Black Box is one of the best medical dramas on network TV. Well cast and acted with excellent, informative stories. ABC should definitely keep this show!

I love the show!
I hope it continues
NO
This is one of my FAVORITE SHOWS PLEASE MORE BLACK BOX!!!
This series is one of the best examples I’ve seen of what its like to live with bipolar illness. However being surrounded by neuro surgeons, Psychiatrist and scientists. Who couldn’t detect the disorder in one their own. Kind of destroyed the credibility of the series. Who wants a Shrink that has to be told your bipolar. It was obvious to me after watching for 5 minutes she was.
Black Box is terrific. Hopefully it will be renewed for a second season!
Love Black Box . My favorite show!
