Well, that was quick. After just two weeks, CBS has pulled their new Doubt TV show from the Wednesday schedule. Has the series been cancelled? Will it be back?
The Doubt TV show stars Katherine Heigl as Sadie Ellis; Elliot Gould as Isaiah Roth; Laverne Cox as Cameron Wirth; Dreama Walker as Tiffany Simon; and Kobi Libii as Nick Brady. Sadie is a brilliant attorney who starts to fall for her charismatic client. Pediatric surgeon Billy Brennan (Steven Pasquale) was recently accused of murdering his girlfriend, 24 years ago. Sadie has to hide her growing feelings from everyone, including her close friend and colleague, Albert Cobb (Dulé Hill). Getting involved with her client could put Sadie’s career and happiness at risk — particularly if Billy is found guilty. She must work all the harder to prove reasonable doubt, even while she has some doubts of her own.
When the series debuted two weeks ago, there was no “doubt” that the new CBS drama series was already in trouble. The premiere attracted a meager 0.76 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.31 million viewers. This week’s installment drew a 0.60 rating with 4.03 million. Those figures are just too low for “the most-watched network” and CBS has now pulled Doubt from the schedule.
On March 1st, Doubt will be replaced by a rerun of Bull and, on March 8th, CBS will launch the second season of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. While CBS has not officially cancelled Doubt, there’s no chance that they’ll be renewing it for a second season.
The network ordered 13 episodes of Doubt and all of them have reportedly been completed. Prior to the series being pulled, CBS had only scheduled four more installments of Doubt. In the past, CBS has burned off leftover episodes of cancelled series on Saturday nights over the summer months.
What do you think? Do you like the Doubt TV show? Do you think that CBS should cancel the series? Would you watch the remaining episodes?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I was heartbroken when it was cancelled. It is such a great show. I don’t know how it is possible to cancel a show after 2 episodes when others are so boring and stay on for years. Every character is intriguing. So glad they are showing the episodes that were already taped. Wish there was a way to bring this back!!
I was eager to see this show as I like Katherine Heigl a lot. Surprisingly, I thought the premier show was dumb and boring. BUT.. I kept watching, and the character’s became complex and interesting and I begin to care about them and love the show. So of course, it was cancelled. Come on! After 2 showings? Give me a break! Network TV is becoming a joke. Nothing but reality TV and stupid game shows. We need good drama’s and intelligent stories for those of us with brains that still watch TV. With Streaming shows and Cable, Netflix, etc.. if… Read more »
I wish this show was renewed. it was very entertaining !!!!!
I was glad to see the show back in the schedule today, was sorry to hear it was canceled after only 2 episodes, I will enjoy seeing the remaining episodes
I’m sorry it was cancelled. I will watch the remaining episodes.
I really wish they would play the rest of season one of this show and Time After Time. They didn’t give either of those shows a chance, which pisses me off cause they keep the stupid reality shows. I really don’t understand that. I hope they play the rest of the episodes tho!!! Wish other channels would pick up Doubt and Time After Time.
I enjoyed the shows, loved the actors and actresses and was extremely disappointed it was taken off the air without any explanation. How is that anyway to run an operation.
I was glad to see a law show that was both funny and interesting. Of-course falling in love with a killer so quickly…anyway. It would be nice to see several more episodes or seasons of a show before it is cancelled.
Too many shows are cancelled before they are given enough time for people to get to know the characters and plot.
It was really good — we talk about good shows at work to watch and I told my coworkers about this. But now we couldn’t find it. You should give it more that two weeks to prove that it is bad or good.. Again – this was a good show .. Please put it back on and show the 13 episodes and give the people the right to chose
I really liked that show! I can’t believe they cancelled it after only two episodes! That’s crazy! Now I suppose they’ll put on another stupid reality show or ridiculous comedy show!
I LOVE THIS SHOW…bring it BACK!! These are strong characters with brilliant actors!! Give it another shot!! It is a GREAT show!!
They Need to give the shows a chance. I thought the Cast was amazing and the scripts were great. But you guys never give quality shows a chance to build an audience. Trust the writers and cast on this one and let it build.
I jusr found this series on my wi fi. It has u epusodes up. So i thought it was a chrrent series. The furst 2 were amazing. I was so excited ti find a great new legal Damaty with such a steong cast to boot! After rhe secind seeies the 3rd wouldn’t load. I goigled what metwork which was CBS. But it wasnt there . Not on demand. I googked to fund ut was cancelled after 2 episodes. RIDICULOUS . Im so invested in the characters. Not judt an amazing well noted cast , the characters were strong and relatable.… Read more »
keep this show!! great characters, fab story lines… give it a chance!! fauling that cmon Netflix… this show has the makings of a long long row of seaaons ahead
Unreal. This was a delightful series to watch. Quickly grabbed the attention of both me and my wife. Have been looking forward to the next episodes. Give the show a chance. 2 weeks is hardly enough time. Obviously the others commenting agree. That should carry some weight with CBS but apparently not.
I love this show! At least play the remaining episodes! I’m already committed to these characters. Let me see how it ends, for crying out loud!
