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?
I love this show. One of the smartest new shows on TV….great writing and acting. Please keep it on!
Great show! Very different.
Love it
Good actor, awful boring show….time for it to go…
Interesting & educational. Keep it!
Very interesting show i like it and will continue to watch!
Different type of show, people aren’t used to this angle so want the same old, same boring old they are used to seeing. I like Bull, and am sure the writers will develop the others in the cast so Weatherly does not have to carry it all the time.
I want to give it a chance – love Weatherly and he is good in it but the show is just so predicable – going to keep with it though.
Bull is often defined as a series of contrived statements or situations. The author/executive producer of this program seems to be saving Jason Bull is the smartest person in the room. This program never allows the viewer a chance to participate in any of the characters. We are left to accept the deluded notions that define Jason Bull. This program can not and will not be able to sustain enough energy to make it into a season two.
Yawn. Cancel. Love Weatherly, hate the show.
I like it! Give it a chance to get its following. I also watch through “On Demand” when I work late and miss thw episode.
I love it already. I think it needs some character development other than just the lead. Keep it.
Too boring in my estimation. He should have stayed with the winner … NCIS.
Junk please cancell
Not a fit for Weatherly. Just go back to NCIS Where he is perfect
