What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television 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.
Season One Ratings
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). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Good Sam stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
Good Sam has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Good Sam for season two? While the network has plenty of crime and procedural dramas, CBS doesn’t have any other medical dramas on the schedule. That could help the series’ chances but, it’s also the lowest-rated scripted series on the network. Good Sam could be renewed but I think it will most likely be cancelled instead.

I am so tired of INVESTING TIME in TV and just left hanging. Why can’t these shows at least END!!’with an ENDING, my time is worth that atleast.
Bring back good sam. It was a really good series..its a real shame CBS cancelled it…you suck CBS
I use to watch this show on a regular basis. I LOVED this show! I enjoyed the comradery between the actors who played Sam and Griff. After the last show, I was ready to see what the next episode was going to contain in it. I wish it wouldn’t have been canceled. I was so looking forward to that next episode. It’s a pure shame they canceled it. Bring it back!!!!!
I love Good Sam . That was a excellent show . I am very disappointed it is being canceled. I will stop watching CBS.
So bummed good Sam is cancelled you suck cbs
I LOVE this show. I hope they renew it. I wish when they looked at ratings they realized that those of us who use a DVR do so because we can watch shows whenever our schedule permits (which doesn’t always fall within they’re number of days). Everyone that I know that watches GOOD SAM loves the show and really hopes it will continue.
You have to actually put up good ratings on DVR. Good Sam did not. It didn’t improve.
Nice show, much better than a lot of junk that’s on nowadays. Please renew season two and further.
