NBC has made a schedule change for the final Sunday of May sweeps, May 18th. The network has replaced Crisis and Believe with an encore of The Women of SNL.
While the Sunday night dramas haven’t been officially cancelled yet, they surely will be. Being pulled from the schedule during the sweeps period — replaced by a rerun of a clipshow, no less — is a very bad sign. The move isn’t a surprise though. Both Crisis and Believe have been performing terribly in the ratings.
Crisis is averaging a meager 1.1 in the 18-49 demographic with 4.48 million viewers. Believe is averaging a 1.3 in the demo with 5.45 million. Both shows drew a 1.0 in the demo this past Sunday and have each dropped below a ratings point in the past few weeks.
Both shows were already off the schedule this Sunday and are now expected to return on Sunday, May 25th. They each have 13 episodes in their respective seasons. Eight episodes of Crisis and nine episodes of Believe have aired so far.
Hopefully NBC will run all of the episodes. Hoepfully the finales will cap the series in satisfying ways. Unless there’s some kind of miracle, neither of these shows will be returning for a second season.
What do you think? If you were running the network, would you cancel both of these shows? Do you think one is better than the other?
DONT CANCEL BELIEVE!
Our family looks forward to Sunday to watch a clean awesome show!
We can not wait for Sunday night.
I love believe do they base there ratings only on tv if so they will keep going down I and almost everyone I know watch hulu plus to watch believe and crisis and they are very popular so maybe since we live in a new error you should base ur rating with all the others ways we can watch the show duhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please Don’t Cancel Believe I made the following comment for NBC. Am just heartsick about the cancellation of believe. I caught it by chance one Sunday night when the first episode aired and have been a fan on Hulu Plus ever since. I was so upset and disappointed when I read that you were going to cancel believe. It’s the well plotted story of a young lady with special gifts of telekenesis, future visions and premonitions as well as the ability to read minds. She’s being protected by a psychologist/mentor and her Dad who was rescued from prison. Together with… Read more »

I also went to the NBC web site and left my opinion. I didn’t see any other comments but mine. It’s worth a shot, if everyone on this site goes to NBC and leaves their opinion. Oh yeah, as much as my kids and grandkids love everything Saturday Night Live, they were forbidden to have any of the 5 t.v.’s in our house on NBC last night.
NBC, please bring back Believe and Crisis.

I am so angry why would they cancel two of the best shows I like to watch. I agree with all the commenters before me.. Little Boo is an extraordinary little actress and its so beautiful to see how her relationship develops with her father along their spiritual journey.. There is very few movies out there where actually we can see what this movie Believe delivers to an audience. Both movies Believe and Crisis is keeping tou tight to your seat in every series. Even though I have to give up something very important in those two hours I still… Read more »

Please bring believe back its not fair that you got us watching the show and you took it off!! Plesse plesse bring it back
I just looked at the ratings for NBC, and truthfully, they don’t make sense. Go look for yourselves. Programs ranked below Believe and Crisis have been renewed, so there is more to all this than meets the eye. Also, even though I do watch The Blacklist, it is not a stellar program, yet, it is NBC’s top ranked program. Doesn’t say much for NBC’s program executives.
NBC, please bring back Believe and Crisis.

Please don’t cancel Believe. We love watching the show and how the characters are developing. It leaves you on the edge of your seat every time the show is finished.
It is all BS folks. The ratings, Nielsen, the 18-49 demo crap…all of it is an illusion. Resurrection is still on, but they cancel Believe and Crisis? It would nice to see Believe and Crisis go to USA, ION, TNT, etc. and tell the so called major networks to stick it. Truthfully, I see the cable networks producing better programs at a fraction of the cost and with less annoying commercials. By the way, Johnny Sequoia (Bo) of Believe will be a superstar someday. She is one heck of a little actress. I still don’t get the name Johnny for… Read more »
My family loves Believe! I’d never cancel it.
