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.

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?
My wife will quit watching your network is you cancel Criminal Minds, Golden Boy or Vegas. After 31 years of marriage I’ve learned she means what she says. Take heed!
I LOVE Golden Boy. Its the best show on TV with an intense talented ensemble cast.
I LOVE this show, hope it’s not cancelled…
I love Golden Boy, it’s just a little different, that makes it so good. Please DON’T even think cancelling it.
If anyone at CBS is reading these message boards, take heed….I BEG OF THE CBS POWERS-THAT-BE NOT TO CANCEL ‘GOLDEN BOY’! Theo James is stellar, as is the supporting cast. Mr. James is a fabulous actor who brings a sweet subtlety to his role not often seen on television these days. There is great chemistry between members of the ensemble cast and the show is a diamond, much in the fashion of ‘Person of Interest’. Both shows have me as a viewer absolutely glued to my seat, leaving me at their end wanting more and greatly anticipating the next week’s… Read more »
I have to agree. Your comments summarize what viewers have to be left with.
“Funny” shows that are mindless, versus shows that give you something to thing about. Too bad the networks have abandoned viewers with a mind.
I love Golden Boy! It is well written and beautifully acted. Please give it time to build an audience. I remember when cbs wasn’t sure about Blue Bloods-another great show. It is time to keep quality shows on the air!
Please keep Golden Boy. It is interesting, well written and a great show!
Please do not cancel Golden Boy or CSI NY. They are both outstanding shows. They keep your attention with quality story lines. Both shows have wonderful casts. Please don’t take then away. Dana in Tulsa, Oklahoma
Love this series. Please don’t cancel Golden Boy. Give it another chance and
don’t change the casting.
Love Golden Boy and the casting is great! Please don’t cancel.
CBS -SHAME ON YOU. FOR NOT PROMOTING GOLDEN BOY. OR AT LEAST FOR NOT TRYING IT IN THE SUMMER WHEN THERE IS SO LITTLE GOOD TV. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP SAVE THIS GOOD DRAMA WITH SOME GOOD MORAL DILEMMAS??
GOLDEN BOY – ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS MY HUSBAND WATCHES TOO. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A PROMO FOR THIS NEWER, AND ETHICS DRIVEN TV STORY. WHY CANCEL ALREADY BEFORE IT’S HAD A CHANCE TO FIND ITS AUDIENCE?? HOW CAN WE SAVE IT?? WE ARE A FAMILY IN YOUR DEMOGRAPHICS .
Love Golden Boy why don’t they promote it? Please don”t cancel!!!
I love golden boy. Definitely should be renewed.
CBS should renew Golden Boy. It is a different type of ” cop show” and is intriguing and clever every week. Give it a chance. With proper promotion, the audience will build.
I love Golden Boy. It just started out and as many new shows it needs to find it’s core base. I am 62 years young and Love the show..DON’T CANCEL IT! My husband and I love it…
