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.

So VERY dissapointed that this show was cancelled. One season is just not enough. This was a great show with very good stories. There are not very many really good shows on TV like this one due to all those stupid and ridiculous reallity shows. They should be taken off the TV not Eleventh Hour.
PUT “ELEVENTH HOUR” BACK ON!!!
once again another one of my favorite tv shows goes down the tubes. The shows get cancelled so fast that they don’t have time to develope a fan base. Heaven forbid a show be given 2 or 3 seasons to catch on. Thanks again CBS.
WHY DON’T NETWORKS GIVE ANY SHOWS A CHANCE?? IF A SHOW DOESN’T GET TO PLAY MORE THAN A SEASON OR TWO HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO CATCH ON???

I’m going to miss Eleventh Hour–it was one of my favorites. CBS keeps cancelling all the good shows. When will they Exec’s realize that we are all sick of Reality Shows and don’t want to watch them anymore.
Bring back the good shows–especially Eleventh Hour–it was the best show on.
CSI is getting old and older by each season–don’t even watch it anymore. Boring same old stuff.
WTF?
CBS is cancelling all the good shows. The elventh hour was a greatt show . my favorite. they should realy bring it back, and release the season one dvd.
CBS is getting friken pathetic cancelling shows!!!!!! Just cause they don’t get 40million watchers they’ve got to cancel it god its getting old!!!! sorry ********.. and these stupid ass reality shows
CBS YOU SUCK!!! Eleventh hour is a GREAT show!!! Reality TV sucks and is anything but reality!
I loved Eleventh Hour!!!!!! I kept looking for previews for the season to start. CBS, I’m through with you! I absolutely HATE all the reality TV shows. I have very few shows that I actually like (Eleventh Hour, Flashpoint) and you keep canceling them. Why bother watching CBS. I will pass this on to my friends and family also.
You have GOT to be kidding me!? Why is it that CBS feels the need to cancel this show?? WHY? Because there wasn’t enough SEX or BOOBS in it for them? I do not understand!? They boast about “Watch CBS’s Most Popular show ELEVENTH HOUR NOW! on CBS!” for what?? So, it can be ripped away from all of us 12 MILLION viewers?? And how does that happen? I mean, the decision to abruptly cut a show practically mid-season, with only 18 episodes to the first season, AND never to return?? I think that really blows…which makes me wonder, is… Read more »
Why does CBS keep cancelling the good shows?
WHAT! why? this is so stupid! I was totally obsessed with this show. Why!!!! They HAVE to show it again PLEASE!!!!!!!!
I will miss Eleventh Hour! Too bad everything that requires some intelligence is cancelled. You would have thought CBS learned their lesson with Moonlight…
I have truely enjoyed the Eleventh Hour shows. Reality TV is stupid. I watch primarily CBS shows but will sorely miss the one. Please reconsider cancelling.
Since the fall is here I was trying to find out when Eleventh Hour was going to start this season and then I found this blog. I tell you television has gone to heck. Every time I turn around it is another reality TV show with people just sticking it to each other. I am sick and tired of this kind of television. CBS, unfortunately you are not good anymore and I am going to stop watching you.
It shocks me that with 12 million people watching this show (Eleventh Hour) CBS feels that it should cancel it. It was one of the few shows on TV that was interesting & entertaining. I guess it’s because it wasnt some reality bologna or as I like to refer to shows of that nature as non-reality. If you ask me more of these networks need to go back to the good ole days and slowly drop reality TV and bring back the sitcoms and drama’s.
Just my take.
