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?
Very thought provoking show…wanted to see it continue for. Second season…
Meant to say for a second season….
Don’t cancel it, please!!!!!
This is one of the most unique shows on tv. People don’t be scared to watch, it is so brilliant
Please don’t cancel Black Box. I love the show. There is so little on television for a more sophisticated audience
Even though our numbers may not be large we still deserve to be entertsined. At the VERY least please air the remaining episodes.
Dont cancel. I really really like this show. Dr. Black is like a female House. She’s great and brings a lot of understanding to people with mental /emotional challenges that have been stigmatized way too long.
I like the Black Box and look forward to seeing it each week. If it is canceled, please show the remaining episodes.
Keep the show I love it. I see its not on tonight and was looking forward to watching it. I will tell everyone bout this show. My husband likes it too. please don’t cancel the showand if you cancel the show please show the remaining shows we want to see it
Great show, needs to have a second season
Don’ t cancel Black Box! Mental illness is huge in this country. I think it gives a great opportunity to ‘ educate’ the general public. Or at least give them a little understanding
To it all.
I love the show! Finish the story. ABC, I’m tired of you reeling me in with these shoes & not finishing the story. At least tie up loose ends. Betrayal, Resurrection, & now Black Box? Come on.
I LIKE THE SHOW.DO NOT CANCEL IT. WAITING TO SEE IT!
I love the show, I can’t wait to watch the show every day
Do not cancel this show. Maybe it is too cerebral for the duck dynasty group, but it is fabulous! Please please keep it on tv,
.
If you decide to cancel, at least show the remaining episodes. I like the show
I guess we all need to write to ABC, quickly.
