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 really enjoyed the show. Was very disappointed to hear it was being cancelled.
Why not give the show a chance to gain an audience?
I too am tired of watching new shows only to have them cancelled. Seems they keep the ridiculously goofy ones and nix the more intelligent, well thought out shows. Happens to me all the time……………sigh………….
Saw 2 shows & I liked them. So tired of liking good shows & them getting canceled.
Give them a FULL SEASON test before you judge them, many gett better as time goes on.
I really liked the show you have to give people a chance to discover a new show every time I get invested in a show its cancelled I’m going to have to stop watching these networks
I like the show and would continue to watch it. Cancelling after 2 episodes doesn’t give people a chance to discover a new show and start watching.
I am going to stop watching this network altogether. Every time I start liking a new show (stalker) the cancel it. Ridiculous how they don’t give a show more than 2 episodes.
Most people I spoke to hated the show…so, there’s that.
Please reconsider cancelling this show. The show is GREAT. I just hope you’re not trying to put it on CBS all access because most of the people I spoke to will never pay for free TV. Try cancelling one of those tired NCIS shows, you have too many, and their not that good.
I agree to not canceling Doubt and the original NCIS with Gibbs. The other ones I tried and don’t care for
Ya, Shannon! Or another hour of Criminal Minds…really?
Please don’t cancel this series. Its really very good. Are going to cancel it to put it on CBS all access because I don’t think anyone is going to pay to watch free tv. In my opinion, you’re making a huge mistake. Try cancelling one of those NCIS shows.
I figured most people here would be upset this show was cancelled.
Thanks for cancelling. I couldn’t even watch the promos. Yuck.
This is why stopped watching any new show a 8network premiers. They NEVER give it time to catch on. I mean, its only aired 2 episodes!! I haven’t allowed myself to watch any new show til the second season just for the fact that every new show I would start to watch….I’d really like and they would cancel ? it right as I was getting attached. SMDH!! I knew better then to try watching this
Doubt is much better than Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, Scorpion and Bull (I’m a fan of Michael Weatherly, but he will always be DiNozzo). I wish they would give this show a chance.
Agree about Michael Weatherly! The first episodes of Bull were ok, but I don’t like this no-fun Michael Weatherly. He’s kinda getting to be this arrogant loner dude and I like DiNozzo SOOOO much more. And I like Doubt more than Bull!
I just started watching the show on my DVR. I would definitely continue watching it!! I think it’s ridiculous to pull it after only two episodes!! If the series has already been filmed, air those episodes and see if it takes off. If not, simply don’t renew it for a second season. This makes me not want to watch new shows on CBS anymore…
