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.

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.
Code Black is the one program we look forward to watching each week. It is real and has great actors playing interesting characters. Quality wise it is on a par with ER and is so much better than the other medical show now playing.
We loved the show and waited anxiously for the next week’s episode. However, after several weeks there would be, on numerous occasions, some special or other show taking it’s place, so we got frustrated and didn’t make it a priority.
Please don’t cancel this show it’s one of my favorites. Never miss it.
I like this one and couple of others listed the bad think in the Texas area is the dates keep moving it around hard t find event TIVo’d as it moves around time wise. then it is not recorded but wifi’d and can’t always get them to play as they are currently unavailable
I love this show. Never miss it. It’s far better than most anything else on tv. I think the problem with the ratings is due to a lack of advertising. Not to mention it’s SOO far between seasons.
Please bring back Code Black for it’s 3 re season. I really liked this show.
I think this is a wonderful show! I didn’t tune in until Season 2 and then didn’t miss an episode after finding it. Please bring it back for a Season 3.
Please bring Code Black back for Season 3. The cast is amazing, particularly since you’ve added Rob Lowe. It deserves another season!
Please plan on a season 3 for Code Black!! Love this show – would be a real loss if it doesn’t come back!
Please, please, please do not cancel code black is my absolute favorite,I love the entire cast, the show in its entirety is fabulous.
I watched every episode when I learned of this show Code Black. I cried during most episodes. Specially the final aired episode Fallen Angels. So sad when Heather passed away from that virus. I don’t understand why you quit showing this but you continue with the stupid comedy shows, with people acting stupid. CBS bring my dramas back.
This is a great show. One of the best i have seen. Please renew it for season 3
I love code Black CBS you better renew it for season 3
Do not cancel this show,it is awesome! !My boyfriend don’t normally like shows like this but he loves it too!!
