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 don’t think it is right for the network to cancel doubt what’s up with that it was nothing wrong with the show.
I liked the show went to my list to record and couldn’t find it. Was waiting for a show with Dule Hill and now it’s gone. Don’t make a decision on just two episodes. Bring it back!!
I actually liked it. My liking anything is like a jinx to the show though. Figures
cheers to CBS for dumping that dreadful show so quickly.
I was in Vegas recently and I attended one of those test screenings for new TV shows. I was “lucky” enough” to have drawn the short straw and got assigned Doubt! I could NOT have informed them in any greater strength NOT to go ahead with this POS! It was obvious from 2 mins that this was going to fail. I went out of my way to tell them to NOT PROCEED WITH THIS! I could not have done more, yet because one person in the room gave it a 72 (because she thought it was “not polite” to say… Read more »
It seems most people commenting actually like the show, me as well along with the friends and family I have asked. I hope they reconsider and bring it back. So glad they didn’t listen to you.
Just watched the two episodes on demand last night and enjoyed it. Went to set up to record the series and found out it was cancelled. Stupid!
I actually enjoyed the program. Disappointed it is cancelled. I would have continued watching
Doubt is trash like most of the new CBS TV shows. They cancelled/ “ended”‘ POI and and they keep bringing patetic under mediocre TV series like MacGyver, Bull, Pure Genius, Kevin Can’t Wait, Ransom , Training Day ( which is an offense to a great movie ). “Good Job”.
Doubt is a great show! Don’t cancel it. Give it a chance. Is it fair to determine a shows fate after just 2 weeks?
i liked the s how i would give it chance it was going up against CHcigp PD and Desgilnated Survior is coming back Imean I would s till tape it but I would put it another time slot or sdifferent day. I would like to see the last 4 that they had completed and see how it all playe s out. try to give it achance
i did like ldoubt i thought it was good i would air t he l ast four espides and see hwo the vierws go with it. i would say to put in a different time slot or different day since DS is coming back march 8th and that good great ratings.
The show was ip against shows that had a great following. We liked the combination of people. Always like Dule Hill. Please continue with the four episodes you have and give it a chance.
I really like Doubt! Please give it a chance to find its audience. They are out there! Talk it up! Publicize it!
I really like this show. Networks just don’t give new shows a chance anymore. Please let the remaining episodes air and give it a chance!!!!!!
Omg. I really like this show. Hope they don’t cancel it.
I liked this show and was looking forward to a new series for Katherine Heigel. Would rather see this series on the schedule & Bull cancelled
So you want to CANCEL CBS’s #1 new drama and bring back this debacle? Good thing you don’t run this Network.
