Michael Weatherly left NCIS last season but he’s back on CBS with the new Bull TV show. Was it a good move? How is Bull doing in the ratings? Most new TV shows are cancelled after one season. Will this be one of them? Cancel or keep it?
Inspired by the early career of Doctor Phil McGraw, the Bull TV show revolves around the brash and charming Doctor Jason Bull (Michael Weatherly). He combines psychology, human intuition and high tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. His team members are played by Freddy Rodriguez, Geneva Carr, Jaime Lee Kirchner, Annabelle Attanasio, and Christopher Jackson.
The show premiered on September 20th to a 2.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 15.56 million viewers. That was a very positive start for a new series. CBS wisely aired it after the Weatherly’s previous series so that no doubt helped draw in viewers.
The second episode dropped about 14% in the ratings which is a reasonable second week decline. Episode three also fell and the fourth installment fell as well, dropping to a 1.57 demo rating with 12.29 million.
While Bull’s numbers have been declining, it’s still CBS’ most watched new show and is averaging 13.62 million viewers. It’s still very early in the season but, at this point, it looks like the network won’t be cancelling Bull any time soon.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Bull TV show on CBS? Should it be cancelled? If you’ve watched the program, will you keep watching? Cancel or keep it?
Boring. Dull. I wish Tony was back on NCIS, and that the new ones on NCIS were gone.
It’s only OK good. Not good enough
Yes please cancel, do not like it at all, seem phoney
Keep it! Not just because of Michael Weatherly it is a fantastic Ensemble
Saw for the first time Oct 25 episode. I liked it and will be looking to watch the missed episodes.
Keep it!!
I like the show, cast & storylines are great. Will continue to watch.
This new tv series has a new angle. Entertaining and enjoyable
I say to keep it! I am intrigued by the science behind behavior analysis. Yes, it is similar to Lie to Me, but I absolutely loved that show! Michael has been a favorite actor on one of the best shows on TV ever. I think this is a good change for him.
We love it! Please give it the time it needs to really catch on. Won’t miss a show!!!
I’m glad he left NCIS. no bull
I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE SHOW. BORING
Love it and love the role for Michael Weatherly!! Might take a little tweaking to get the ensemble right but this is Michael’s perfect role. Please keep it rolling!!! No “bull”!
Really enjoy the show, definitely KEEP!!
Not at all impressed. Basically a mash-up between The Mentalist and Lie to Me.
