Time has run out for CBS’ science-based drama. Based on a British series of the same name, the network has cancelled Eleventh Hour after 18 episodes.
Eleventh Hour revolves around a team of scientists and FBI agents who work to solve strange crimes that involve science and possible paranormal activity. The drama stars Rufus Sewell, Marley Shelton, and Omar B. Miller.
Debuting on October 9, 2008, the show started out with an audience of 11.37 million viewers and a 3.2/9 rating/share of the 18-49 demographic. The season ended up averaging about 12 million. While that looks fine on its own, the series consistently lost a large percentage of its CSI lead-in.
The show’s been “on the bubble” for awhile and now, the network has decided to cancel it. All of the show’s episodes have aired and there’s been no word on a DVD release.

You have GOT to be kidding me!! I love this show. Why in the world would CBS cancel this show.
I can’t believe they are cancelling this show. Why do they get rid of the good ones. Please don’t do it. I love this show.
CBS may have been shortsighted enough to cancel Eleventh Hour, but the Campaign to bring it back is not over. If you love EH like we do, check out this new link at our new site. There are still possibilities to save this show but we need each and every fan to help!

That is a load of crap. How the hell can they cancel a show like Eleventh Hour? Why don’t they cancel NCIS?! First they cancel The Unit, and now this… the network executives are waist-deep in BS right about now.
CBS = Can you Believe this Sh*t?
Another great show cancelled!! I sear whoever is making these decisions isn’t listening to the public or giving the shows long enough to attract more attention. Why not change the night it’s on rather than cancel, one season isn’t long enough for the public to get hooked. Give it more time Renew!!!
I can’t believe they cancelled this show. I absolutely loved it. Rufus Sewell was wonderful as Dr. Jacob Hood. The show was smart and interesting and as usual that cannot stand on network tv. I am so sick of good shows getting cancelled while drivel like reality shows just won’t go away. If they keep this up, I will just stop watching the networks and just watch cable where all the good shows are.
WTF, CBS?! You cancel a great show like Eleventh Hour but keep crap around like Survivor and NUMB3RS?! I tried to get into NUMB3RS but it was seriously the longest hour of my life. I really hope another network picks Eleventh Hour up. There may be hope, ABC picked up a crap sitcom like Scrubs so maybe they’ll show interest in CBS’ left overs.
cbs cancels any new show that is not a megahit like the mentalist. moonlight and the eleventh hour both got respectable ratings and both were canceled. i give up on cbs and will watch other networks or cable networks.
ANOTHER GREAT SHOW CANCELLED!!! Everything I watched on TV is now gone!
Reality TV has low production costs and if they yield any viewers they are considered a hit with the networks! Shows that require writers, locations and good actors can’t compete unless they have GREAT viewer numbers!!!
Get used to more reality TV in the future.
Another good show cancelled! What are they thinking? I can;t believe the networks leave mindless shows on the air.
Eleventh Hour is a great show! Quit bringing us stupid reality shows and keep the intelligent ones for a change! I am really getting sick of all the networks ie: CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX you are all brainless!!!!! Bring Eleventh Hour back!!!
BRING IT BACK! I had my TiVo set to Eleventh Hour. They leave brainless sitcoms going and pander to the kids and reality-freaks. Shows like The Hills make it for seasons on end. What’s the goal here? Keep only the shows that get lampooned on The Soup on?
Well this is the 2nd show I really liked on CBS that is cancelled. The other is The Unit. What can CBS be thinking when they cancel 2 great shows but keep the brainless reality shows. I do not care who wins in survivor. I would like to see CBS and the other networks keep shows like 11th hour and the Unit on as they are actually thought provoking and entertaining. At least your brain doesn’t change to goo with either of those programs
Please bring them back!

As Lourdes said above, we are all very serious and committed to this. We even have the ear of EH’s creator, Stephen Gallagher. We all want to bring this back together. Come and take a look at what we are doing.
Has anyone started a bring it back campaign yet for the show? I know it worked for friday night lights and family guy. That Earl show on NBC got cancelled and has started one on twitter. I just wanted to know because i’d be on board to try to get this show back.
