As fans may already know, CBS has pulled the Doubt TV show from their schedule after only two episodes, making the show effectively cancelled. What do you think? Did the network end the series too soon?
The legal drama stars Katherine Heigl as Sadie Ellis, an ambitious attorney who falls for one of her clients, a pediatric surgeon accused of murdering his girlfriend. The cast also includes Steven Pasquale, Dulé Hill, Laverne Cox, Elliot Gould, and Dreama Walker.
Doubt premiered on February 15th to a lackluster 0.76 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.31 million viewers — very low numbers for a CBS show. The series’ second episode dropped even further in the ratings, bringing in a 0.55 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.03 million viewers.
CBS initially ordered 13 episodes of Doubt, which were all reportedly filmed. It remains uncertain when the remaining episodes will air, if they ever will.
What do you think? Have you seen Doubt? Was this CBS TV series cancelled too prematurely? Should the network have given it more time or, were they justified in pulling it after two very low-rated episodes?
Why is it every time I like a show and get interested in it the Network cancels it. Doubt was a very good show plus I like Katherine Heigl. So PLEASE bring it back need to watch the rest of the show
My husband and I enjoyed the show very much. Hope it returns.
My family like the show and what it back on tv
Great show! Do not understand how the muckity-mucks think. Loved it from the start, but some people do need a few episodes to get into the plot. Like a new baby, give it some time to start breathing before giving up.
After only 2 episodes? What idiots made this decision? The 2 episodes that were aired were really good..CBS maybe needs new decision makers? Or at least give a show a chance.. Come on Netflix.. Grab it.
I agree what idiots! I liked the show, so it started a little slow most of them do.
They need to rethink an by the way I’m 60.
I hope Netflix picks it up.
I started watching the show but was annoyed with the background music that was playing while they were talking. It took away from their conversation. Thought it as a distraction and irrelevant to what was happening
How can you make a decision after 2 episodes? The backstory was good and the cases each week were interesting. I would continue to tune in if they brought it back.
Unfortunately I started watching it through on demand and was trying to find out when it aired, finally resorted to Google and was very disappointed to find it was cancelled. Great cast, good plot and I was anxious to see how the story progressed. I don’t think we’re needed another spin off to replace it after 2 shoes. Will another network pick it up?
WHO DOES THAT.. REALLY CBS Doubt is an awesome show get it back on the air.. come on you can do it…
If this is how CBS starts and ends a new series, I highly doubt Ill be watching anything new from this channel. Ratings or not. It really sucks to get viewer’s interested in a new show that has great potienal and replace it with already ongoing series. Bad call CBS ! Wont be viewing any of your other new shows .. what’s the point.
Absolutely! The show was informative, entertaining and very well acted. Sadly, the majority of the American people are unable to equate to intelligent drama.
Look at who they elected for President? Need I say more?
I really liked this show and am very disappointed it was cancelled so quickly. It seems every time I get interested in or like something on TV it gets cancelled after just one season or in this case just 2 episodes…I am finding myself not even wanting to watch any TV anymore (esp. the news)…gonna start reading more books!!
I am so sad to hear this. I Love Katherine Haigl and every time she has a show it gets cancelled!
I was really liking Doubt too and totally disappointed to hear it had been cancelled.
Well that was just dumb. Great stars, great script WTF CBS?
