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.
Below are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if Golden Boy will be cancelled or renewed for season two.

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.

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?
Please, Please, DO_NOT CANCEL This show. It is one of the BEST I have watched in a long time. Great casting and writing. I have not missed a show. You are making a BIG MISTAKE…
One of the most interesting of the new shows. Never miss it, but must admit to using DVR and not watching til its a good time for me. Give it a chance…I want to know how the story goes!!!
I think Golden Boy should be renewed it was very well done and very exciting to watch.
I can’t believe CBS is cancelling this show. I’ve watched since day one and the finale was incredible. A great show!! Please don’t cancel it!
Please reconsider the decision to cancel Golden Boy..! This is a great show and millions will be disappointed if season 2 isn’t aired.
Golden Boy is one of the few good shows on TV. I can’t believe they would cancel that and renew trash like “Two and a Half men. It just goes to show you where the morals lie.
Should be saved Great show wanna see how it all ends
Please save golden boy great showp
Love this show ! Please dont cancel !
It’s sad that a really good series is getting cancelled (golden boy), while other sorry, less intelligent reality shows keep going and going. Ridiculous.
Please don’t cancel golden boy it offers such a breath of fresh air not like all other police shows before it. Good cast and acting
This is a very sad day, Golden Boy is cancelled. This is one of th Best shows on TV. CBS should have promoted it more. The charactors and ongoing storyline gets you hooked! Please CBS change your mind, do not cancel Golden Boys!!!
My boyfriend and I watch Golden Boy every week faithfully. It is a well written and well acted show which should not be cancelled. We love it that it is shot on location in New York. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS FABULOUS SHOW
Golden Boy is a very interesting, great show. It’s the only police drama I watch, it’s the only one that’s ever caught my attention. Please renew it for another season. The characters & storyline are some of the best I’ve seen in a while.
I wonder if they count how many people have to DVR the show when going through the ratings scale?
I like this show and hope it returns. I don’t watch the graphic shows like Bones or Criminal Minds. There is enough horror on the news. I much prefer shows like Vegas, Golden Boy, Elementary and Person of Interest.
My Husband and I both love The Golden Boy, however he works 3rd shift so I DVR each episode and we watch it together on Wednesday morning. Every week we can’t wait for the new episode to come on. Please, give it a chance and promote it more!!! DO NOT CANCEL GOLDEN BOY… PLEASE!!!
Original, highly entertaining and great acting. But not reasons enough for CBS to continue with this superb and highly entertaining series. Better to play it safe and renew the inane, incomprehensible tripe that passes for good drama. Example: Hawaii Five-O, Body of Proof and Blue Bloods.
I like most of you, hope Golden Boy returns, but realistically our opinions don’t count for much when it comes to CBS’s bottom line, so I’m not holding out much hope.
