Vegas hasn’t been a ratings hit for CBS. Will Golden Boy preform better or will it be cancelled after one season, like so many others TV shows? We’ll have to wait and see.
Golden Boy revolves around an ambitious young cop who goes on to become New York’s youngest police commissioner. The show typically airs on Tuesday or Friday nights on CBS. The cast includes Theo James, Chi McBride, Kevin Alejandro, Bonnie Somerville, Holt McCallany, and Stella Maeve.

Compared to the series premiere of Vegas, CBS was down by 25% in the demo (vs a 2.4 rating) and down by 30% in viewers (vs 14.85 million). Not a good start.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Golden Boy TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Well written, complex characters, interesting storylines. I hope CBS has the good sense to renew Golden Boy. Give it another season and viewership will grow. Golden Boy is certainly a much better series than Body of Proof on NBC and that silly ABC matchmaking show on Tuesdays at 10. People are getting tired of all these ridiculous reality shows on TV Bring back the good dramas!
I really like this show! Keep it on!
Love this show!!!
I love blue blood an elementary an person of instrance I might not watch them on tv that night cause a other show on I watch at that time but I do watch it later that week online an golden boy
I love this show why would they think of canceling it for a other dam realty show please no more
This is a fabulous show with a ton of potential- please don’t cancel this!!!!
Love the show. Very Blue Bloods like, and that’s a good thing.
One of the very few shows I look for and record for later viewing; have enjoyed it immensely. Extremely well done.
I totally agree! “Golden Boy” is probably the best cop procedural on CBS right now. I don’t count”Elementary” or “Person of Interest” as they are not, strictly speaking, one’s typical cop procedural. It’s a fresh, new show where the actors truly have unheard of surprised; very much so, in fact!…for a freshman debut, of course. Sometimes, we need a little light!-heartedness in a cop show…and that’s what “Golden Boy” brings to the table. While I’m not knocking the other coo shows on t.v., I’m getting sick of shows that use gratuitous violence in order to capture the cable t.v viewership.… Read more »
Love it. Love the character of Walter Clark. Acting is superb
I love this show and I have friends who are hooked to it as well. I hope they give it a chance and do not cancel it because I would be so disappointed. I would probably not watch any more new shows on the big tv networks because they are quick to pull the plug on new programs if they don’t get the big ratings right away in their first season.
I think Golden Boy is one of the more interesting shows on TV. A lot of complex but believable characters and interesting stories. Hope they don’t cancel it.
Love this show!! Please please don’t cancel it!! Great story and characters – so much more to see and unravel…. want to see our Golden Boy grow up!!
This is a quality show with great story lines and acting. KEEP IT!!!!!!!
This is one show that I look forward to seeing each week. I love all of the actors and the storyline is great. Please don’t cancel this show.
