The drama at Lakeshore Sentinel Hospital won’t continue into the 2022-23 TV season. CBS has cancelled Good Sam, ending any hopes of a second season on the network.
The Good Sam TV show stars Sophia Bush, Jason Isaacs, Skye P. Marshall, Michael Stahl-David, Omar Maskati, Davi Santos, Wendy Crewson, and Edwin Hodge. In the story, Doctor Sam Griffith (Bush) is a gifted heart surgeon who excels in her new leadership role as chief of surgery at Lakeshore Sentinel Hospital. The former chief of surgery, her former boss and renowned father, Doctor Rob “Griff” Griffith (Isaacs), had fallen into a coma. When Griff wakes up months later demanding to resume his duties, Sam is tasked with supervising this egotistical expert with a scalpel who never acknowledged his daughter’s stellar talent. As Griff defies Sam’s authority and challenges her medical expertise, the big question becomes whether this father and daughter will ever be able to mend their own relationship as expertly as they heal the hearts of their patients.
Airing on Wednesday nights, the first season of Good Sam averaged a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.20 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). It was the network’s lowest-rated scripted series in both categories. In the live+7 day ratings (which includes a week of delayed viewing), Good Sam averaged a 0.40 demo with 3.77 million viewers.
The 13-episode season launched in January and finished airing last week, on May 4th. In the past 24 hours, CBS has also cancelled B Positive, How We Roll, Magnum PI, and United States of Al.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed watching the Good Sam TV series? Are you sad to know that it’s been cancelled and won’t return for a second season on CBS?
I loved this show !!!
I really enjoyed Good Sam. I wish it would continue.
I loved this show! Bring it back p,ease!
I really like Good Sam. It seems like if a show has an intelligent, talented, not too mention beautiful woman starring in it, it gets cancelled. Says alot about us & our culture!! But definitely put some more game shows on & animated comedies & hook-up shows!!
I enjoyed Good Sam. I am extremely disappointed that it was cancelled. The powers that be should consider cancelling some of the FBI series and other programs like that. We have enough real turmoil in this world. Happy How we roll was cancelled as it was the most boring program.
So disappointed that this show got cancelled, I absolutely loved it!! Was truly hoping for a second season, due to the fact the last episode was a cliffhanger!
I really liked this one and I don’t really like most doctor shows so sad to see it go so soon. But I really hate when they cancel a show on a cliffhanger with no closure at all which cbs is famous for doing and it needs to stop.
my husband and I looked forward to this show every week and are very disappointed in it’s cancellation. So many poor shows stay on and a really good one doesn’t. The powers to be need to rethink things.
