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?
Code Black is by far the best show on network TV. It focuses on the medical cases and not the doctors hooking up with each other. The cinematography is fantastic. The lighting makes you feel like you are there. CBS needs to keep this on the air. It should have been shown after the Super Bowl.
Do not cancel. Great show. Do not kill mama. They make a great couple.
Love, love this show. The TV highlight of our week!!!
RENEW
It keeps your interest the entire time you can’t look away for a moment, the characters are well thought out and the acting is phenomenal. This is the kind of television we need!
Please renew I never miss an episdode!!!!!!!
I love Code Bkack. It should be renewed.
Honestly…BEST new show of the season… Brilliant cast…especially MGH!
I LOVE this show!!!! It is my favorite show on television! It’s fast paced , high energy, and has a great cast !!! PLEAS DO NOT TAKE IT OFF THE AIR!!!
Great show. Definitely should be renewed.
I like Code Black but being in the Medical field I can see some inconsistencies. A Code Black ( new terminology) was always called diverting in the past, which meant patient’s we diverted to another Hospital due to an over flow of patients at one Hospital. Three hundred Code Blacks in one year is a little over kill. I work in a Large Boston Hospital and we MAY see four code Blacks in a month which would make it a very busy month. Doctor’s doing open procedure’s in an ER is only under the most urgent conditions. The germs and… Read more »
In my oppion of the show if Code black if they want to keep it going they should talk more about the cast and what had happend before to understand the show code black and save lives if possible. I think u should add a kids center for the kids to play in if possible. Thank u. I hope these are good ideas. Ps. My aunt should make a donation to dream street theather group if possible thank u again.
LOVE CODE BLACK – RENEW
Please do NOT cancel Code Black The cast is brilliant and the stories are hearr warming. It reminds me of the excellence of ER.
PLEASE cancel. show offers no “personal touch” between the characters or connection with the viewer. After watching every episode, I will not watch any more. Same-o; same-o; rote. Great 1st episode and downhill from there.
You mean no one is sleeping together like every show on tv! This is one of the best shows on Tv with great characters and heartwarming and intense for the whole show
Yes! I’m so tired of shows that have all cast members sleeping around with each other. I hope Code Black continues to focus on the actual characters, instead of their sex lives, and the intense action in the ER.
I love Code Black! It is almost as good as ER used to be. I hope it gets a second season!
Agreed! RENEW! It has that same ER vibe.
