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.

C-couldn’t B-be S-stupider!!!! PETITION IS A GREAT IDEA—-COUNT ME IN—IT’S WORKED IN THE PAST. I SAY LETS DO IT AND BRING THIS SHOW BACK. THE STORYLINES ARE NOT FAR FETCHED AND COULD HAPPEN, MORE FACT THAN A ‘REALITY” SHOW. THE POWERS THAT BE PROBABLY ARE ASHAMED BECAUSE THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND IT. THEY NEED MORE FAKE REALITY SHOWS FOR RATINGS, WHICH ARE STUPID, MINDLESS AND WORTHLESS! I SEE THEY ARE ADDING ANOTHER NCIS! WE NEED THIS? THEY JUST KEEP REPEATING THE SAME STORY. NO CREATIVITY, NO RESPECT FOR QUALTIY AND NO BALLS!!!
What were they thinking, maybe we can dign a petition and see if we can get it back on cable at least….. I love the two of them toghter..
Ok the description of this show is misleading. There was no “paranormal activity” in the episodes I watched. It was kind of like a cross between “Bones” (except it was more like biological science not bones) and “Mentalist”. He was just a really good scientist who had excellent powers of observation. The found drugs in a pipeline that were poisoning people, some bizarre perfume using phermones to make men aggressive and combative, he found some dude dumping mercury into a river to intentionally make people sick. None of this is paranormal, just science! I really want it back too!
What are they thinking! How idiotic can they be; it was arguably the best show! Wake up CBS!
As 11th hour just finished in the UK thought I would just check when next series due to start. I CANNOT believe it has been cancelled. It was brilliant. Just remember 24 and look what a hit it is now.
Huge mistake, HUGE. Why do they do away with an intelligent show such as Eleventh Hour and add more boring, stupid, pathetic reality shows. WHY???????
THAT SUCKS. I LIKE THIS SHOW!
What are you thinking.. one of the most intense and fantastic shows you have on your schedule… NCIS material…
I think you are going to the reality shows which I dont like at all and giving up on the suspense..
horrible decision……such a good show……i hate getting into a new show for it to be cancelled
What were CBS thinking? Haven’t we had enough of ‘cheap’ shows full of ordinary people with no story lines because they were easy to make? Finally when great shows come along they are ditched even when they get great results because it’s just too much effort. This was a fantastic show that really stepped up from where CSI sits – shouldn’t programming get better? Why don’t the execs give it a chance?
C-Cancel B-Best S-Shows. This has to be what it stands for because you guys are just fucked in the head. This was an amazing show that kept me interested for the whole episode. It lost some of CSI’s lead in audience, who cares 12 million people an episode can’t be wrong. You pissed me off when you cancelled my Unit. You really pissed me off when you then picked up Medium. So you will pick up ****** shows but cancel good ones. I think to many of you guys there are to secure in your jobs because you are pissing… Read more »
CBS HAD TWO REALLY GOOD SHOWS — MOONLIGHT AND ELEVENTH HOUR AND I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY CANCELLED BOTH. JUST AMAZING!!! I AGREE THAT CSI NEEDS TO BE OFF THE AIR NOT THESE 2 GREAT SHOWS.
I can’t believe they have cancelled this program. It was great acting and great scripts. Come on CBS.
FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!! CBS DISAPPOINTS ONCE AGAIN, WHO MAKES THESE STUPID DECISIONS? DOES THIS MAKE ROOM FOR YET ANOTHER STUPID “REALITY” SERIES? FINALLY, A WELL WRITTEN, EDGE OF THE SEAT SHOW, POLISHED AND ACCOMPLISEHD ACTOR LIKED RUFUS SEWELL AND WE ALL LOOSE! I’M SO DONE, BACK TO READING FOR ME TOO! WHY INVEST TIME, INTEREST AND ANTICIPATION ONLY TO HAVE THIS BE THE RESULT. I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH NEXT—-I WON’T BE THERE TO SEE IT! BIG MISTAKE!!!
Bye Bye CBS. I am tired of the cancellations of decent programs. I read about your two new series and they are losers before they begin. I stopped watching CSI shortly after Grissom left. Now you cancel my other favorite, Eleventh Hour. I guess now I can catch up on my reading because I won’t be watching CBS.
