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?
It’s been a very long time since I’ve loved any TV show as much as I love Code Black. Love everything about this show and I would love to see it renewed. To me, hands down the best new series on TV.
please renew the series
Absolutely love this show. I didn’t think I could stand another med show but this is so good.
I never thought I’d never love a show more than greys but this takes the cake.
Like er on steroids! love it!
Please renew Code Black. It’s quality tv, and a refreshing approach – the writing and camera work allow the viewer to feel that h/she is a participant in the drama. Excellent character portrayals by Marcia Gay Harden and many others. Thank you for listening!
Series are canceled so quick these days — I’ve had my heart broken to many times, so I don’t watch any new shows anymore. However, I came across this the first time and was hooked immediately. It pulls my heart strings and keeps me at the edge of my seat. My husband and I make sure we catch it every Wednesday night and look forward to it. Please don’t take this away!!! We really love this show!!!
One of the first episodes I watched I was thinking this was going to be a complete bust. A couple episodes later I am completely hooked. I think the best part is that they didn’t turn it into a ongoing dumpster fire like General Hospital, yet they still gave the doctors enough of a back story to get an idea if who they are and where they come from. I can see this being the successor to ER, something we have been waiting for for years. I expect this show to last 3+ seasons
Finally a real dr show! Thank you for showing us what a real ER is like not a hospital where all the doctors are ******** each other. Please don’t cancel it!!
Luv this show best drama television show thats been on for a long time hope it stays for many more season’s
I feel this show should stay on the air. It is one of the first medical shows in a very long time that is based on what is happening in the hospital versus the sex lives of the staff.
A show that keeps me on the edge and that the end crying is a keeper!!!! I have been watching it since the beginning and it just gets better!!! The casts compliments each other so well and the story line is gettingh HOT!!! KEEP THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!
Code Black is one of the greatest shows cbs has come out with! I love that there is no drama garbage like other hospital shows. It’s all about the cases and not much more! It always leaves me hungry and excited for more!!!!
We love this show, great chemistry especially momma & papa. Great emotional roller coaster ride when watching. Please renew!!!
This is the most realistic medical drama televised in a long time. Renewal should be a must. I realize all networks look at demographics of 18-49 yrs, but the younger the group, the less interested. Their interests usually lie in supernatural or fantasy programs. Give the mature group something worthwhile to watch! Keep this program. It’s worthy and interesting!
