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?
Bring Black Box back! Loved the topic, loved the characters. Very clever writing. Brought an interesting light on neuroscience and made women in science a very cool thing. LOVED the jazz background music as well.
I’m dying to know how Dr Black will deal with her firing. Very cruel to keep us in suspense right now. For Pete’s sake air the rest of the episodes you shot. Do it online if you don’t want to use the airtime!
I think that it’s a great show. The acting is incredible. Dr Black is one of the most complicated roles ever done on TV or movies and it is played perfectly. It’s a shame that it is not getting a bigger audience. If given more time it will pick up. It was my favorite new show.
Cannot believe the”C___” ABC is putting on this fall – a bunch of garbage
what they think are funny shows – the previews look stupid!!!!
I love this show!!!!!!!
I love this show!!!!
I love Black Box. It can’t be canceled with the upsetting season finale!
I am a professional who works in psychiatry. I loved this show because it depicted the difficulty people have who are diagnosed with this disorder. The fact that people with Bipolar Disorder often dislike taking their medication is very real. Hope they show the remaining shows.
Why would they want to cancel this wonderful show. The show is both informative and entertaining and athe acting is superb. Cannot believe they pulled it from the fall lineup. The season finale was incredible! Please reconsider and bring Black Box back!
This was one of my favorite shows. Too bad it only lasted one season. Show air the episodes not yet aired.
I liked the show. If you must cancel, at least play the last nine episodes!!
I love this show. People don’t seem to know about it.
absolutely this show was great maybe people found it a bit disturbing but there was truth and a lot of interest in all of the series please bring it back
I love this show, if they cancel this show I will be pissed!!!!!!! Not enough people really know about this show.
I love this show!!!
I absolutely relate to this show and it has helped me in so many ways
