A network that has plenty of cop and legal TV shows, CBS hasn’t had a successful medical drama in quite awhile. Will Code Black become a ratings success or a flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Code Black takes place in an Emergency Room in Los Angeles where underfunding and understaffing pile huge pressures on its staff. The cast includes Marcia Gay Harden, Raza Jaffrey, Bonnie Somerville, Melanie Chandra, William Allen Young, Harry Ford, Benjamin Hollingsworth, and Luis Guzman.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
2/24 update: Now that the season’s wrapping up, should Code Black return for a second season?
2/25 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Code Black TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love this series. The best thing on TV. I am in the healthcare biz.
this show is fantastic. it truly conveys the emotion of a hectic ER while also giving us the pleasure of having character story lines to get lost in to, as well as patient story lines. Please renew.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I HAVE TO TAPE IT BUT I DO NOT MISS A SINGLE EPISODE.
Absolutely obsessed with Code Black! Watch every week faithfully. Such great actors and scenes. This show brings out emotion from me.
You would make a huge mistake cancelling this show. It is full of excellent actors and actresses who deliver top-notch performances every show. Writing is superb, and never stops being surprising. The raw emotion of what happens in these ERs absolutely is some of the best, and I have watched all medical shows. It never insults the viewer!!!!! You need to advertise this morn. Love comedies but CBS needs more than comedy shows.
‘Code Black’ is the first E.R drama I have ever really sat down and watched willingly. I love this show! All the different characters, the plot, the music, the DRAMA! This show has it all! Every episode usually ends with me crying my eyes out and wanting more!
Please Please Please Keep this show on the air I absolutely love it and plan my schedule around the time it’s on. The actors are outstanding , the storyline is addicting! I think it deserves a chance . It seems like CBS wants only sit- coms and is not doing enough to get the word out about this amazing program
BEST MEDICAL SHOW ON TV !!! Be keep it going. LOVE this show. PLEASE do not cancel this show.
I thouroughly enjoy the show. Well written, great cast. Please renew. Best since ER. In fact in my opinion it’s better. Big mistake if you cancel. Very realistic. Well done!
LOVE this series! The characters are real, the storylines are interesting and they keep you coming back for more! Please renew! Best medical drama since ER!
this is an awesome show. I am in the medical e and love how hey stay true o life. the acting is awesome.best one since er keeps me on the edge of my seat and say up late. rewatch on demand sometimes- can’t get enough! got to bring it back for another awesome season– it would be a shame not to!!!!
You can’t cancel Momma. This TV show is great. Please RENEW!
Momma is great. There is always one RN in the ER who becomes the momma.
Please don’t cancel Code Black. It took a few episodes to click for me, but now it’s a must see. Most ensemble shows take a bit of time to gel, and this is surely better than most out there. Good story lines, good characters for the most part, some nail-biting drama. And Mama!! What’s not to like? Not every show has to be NCIS or CSI.
We are hooked on CODE BLACK. Great acting, exciting story lines. Please RENEW!!!
They will cancel this show and keep trash like the Kardashiana on. That is the mentality of America, we worship the rich and whores
