Last season, the Code Black TV show started off with mediocre ratings and the numbers plunged in week two. It looked like the series would be cancelled but other CBS shows did even worse so Code Black was renewed for a second season — with some behind-the-scene changes. Will the ratings improve? Will there be a third season renewal? Stay tuned.
Code Black takes place in an Emergency Room in Los Angeles — the busiest, most notorious ER in the nation. The staggering influx of patients often outweighs the limited resources available to the devoted doctors and nurses who work there, creating a condition known as Code Black. In season two, the cast includes Marcia Gay Harden, Rob Lowe, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Harry Ford, Luis Guzman, Melanie Chandra, William Allen Young, Boris Kodjoe, and Jillian Murray.
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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The first season of Code Black averaged a 1.27 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.11 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
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 still like the Code Black TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season three on CBS?
5/14 update: CBS has renewed Code Black for a third season. Details here.
I am missing Code Black, It is a.phenonenal show, and the story line goes quickly and keeps you alert. You have teplaced it with Doubt, And Doubt is too slow. CODE BLACK IS FANTASTIC
do not cancel this show one of best medical
Code Black got better and better throughout the season the characters have depth it would be a shame to cancel it!
One of the best shows on TV. Can’t believe it’s even consider being canceled.
I absolutely LOVE Code Black–PLEASE do NOT cancel it !!
I LOVE this show! It is just as good as ER was and that show was on forever.
Please renew. I really like the drama and the actors are great. Why are television shows not rated on viewings done via devices that people save shows and watch later? There has to be some way to tag that information and count those downloads, since they are digital content. I stream it from my computer, so I know that is being tracked by someone…
I love this show and everyone who in the show…. this is a new Generation War people are watching TV shows on a Roku other devices where they don’t have to watch commercials you need to find a new way to rate your TV shows all the good ones get caned and all the stuff you want renewing doesn’t make sense here I’m 44 years old and you’re always get rid of the good shows.
Please renew Code Black for a third season and beyond. I love the story line and the interaction among the characters. Best medical drama on TV. My husband and I Dvr it so that doesn’t always show in the ratings. Bet lots pf people do the same. Keep it on the air for those of us who are older than your chosen demographic.
I watch it the next day….I bet lots of people do that’s why the ratings aren’t the best please renew!!!!!!!!
I love this show! Please stop canceling everything that is not reality, crime or sci-fi! I fully believe your data is incorrect on “ratings” There are so many ways to view a tv program….are all of these taken into account?
Love this show. I work nights so I pvr it and watch it when I get home in the morning. I look forward to it every week. PLEASE renew it for another season. I love Rob Lowe, he makes a great addition.
Code Black is the best medical show ever! I am a retired nurse. I love watching this show. I think we need more show that are great by example. Hats off to everyone involved in this wonderful love story about medicine and mankind. Makes me believe that others will be encouraged to become an ER Professional! We need our youth to find themselves in rewarding fields of medicine. This show is the ticket to expose everyone to the day to day drama that is found in our hospitals.
Please bring Code Black back. I’ve really gotten into the show especially after the last two episodes. Great team. Great show
Please, please renew Code Black for another Season! We love this show! It is our entire families favorite!! YES to Season 3 and 4 and 5 and beyond!
