Heartbeat has officially flat-lined. Variety reports NBC has cancelled the medical drama after one season.
The series centers on Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George), a cardio-thoracic surgeon trying to juggle her personal and professional life. Dave Annable, Don Hany, Joshua Leonard, Jamie Kennedy, D.L. Hughley, Shelley Conn, Maya Erskine, and J. Louis Mills also star.
Nearing the end of its first season, Heartbeat has continued to fall in the ratings. The series began strong, receiving a 1.39 in the 18-49 demo and 6.304 million viewers for its March premiere. However, the show is currently averaging only .85 in the 18-49 demo, with 4.631 million viewers.
The season one, and now series, finale airs on May 25th.
What do you think? Do you watch Heartbeat? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
Heartbeat is a great show….I’m not sure why it’s not continuing. The storylines keep getting better and the actors are really good. I love Melissa George- and everyone is really good. It’s different and more unique than other medical shows. I like a couple of the others too….but this one has a completely different feel to it. It’s too bad that good shows like this can’t at least get 2 seasons to see what happens w/viewers.
One of the best new shows I have seen in a long time! Refreshing storylines and great actors. One episode made you experience so many different emotions. I do not believe this show was given enough time to get viewers to follow. PLEASE reconsider….
I think this is one of the best shows on TV. I think NBC is making a big mistake. They should have been doing more promoting. The caracters are just now really starting to develop and take a direction.
I love heartbeat Melissa George is awesome NBC didn’t even give it a chance
I absolutely love this show Makes me so mad when I love a show and theoust it after 1 season. It’s really sad that I rarely watch anything new for fear it will be gone shortly. This one has a story line that is easy to follow. Unique, serious, humorous, not boring. Puts things in a realistic manner with a DR that isn’t arrogant and truly cares about people. About done watching shows on NBC. What about the people over 49, do we not count. I’m sick of all the shows going to reality. Are they running out of decent… Read more »
It should stay on air because the show is great and it kinda reminds me of Grey’s anatomy and I’m sure people would pick up the liking to this show once Grey’s is all over! It is my favorite show I have to watch it on demand because I’m working on Wednesday night’s.
Love this show. Hate to see it go!
NBC needs to get rid of some of their cop/crime shows and start showing more family programs. Heartbeat was that show. No wonder NBC has bad ratings as a network. Maybe they should review their own reviewers!!!
I swear, I should never watch any new show on NBC. Every time I do they cancel it. Believe, cancelled. Growing Up Fisher, cancelled. About A Boy, cancelled. The Player, cancelled. I guess if you put “Chicago” in the title you might be safe.
I don’t care how good the promo’s are going to look, I’m not going to watch them anymore if NBC has them first….
This is a great show how can they cancel it? Idiots!
I loved this show. It was different, bold and daring. Just when it got good they do this to me. Hate you people. Ugh!!
Where the hell do they get their tallies from on who watches the show???
This show has been a breath of fresh air with great acting=great stories=fantastic writing=really pulls you in & makes you feel like you are there with the characters=have loved all the storylines=Was excited to have a NEW GREATSHOW TO WATCH===Please don’t give up on Heartbeat=let The
“Heart Beat On”!!!
Yes it should be renewed. I thought it was a great medical show.
Hello I am a viewer of the show heartbeat and I’m telling that heartbeat encourages people to sympathize about people’s situations in life. This show reveals a different side to doctors and human beings. If you are to cancel the show cancelling te idea and truth that people do care about each other. I may do be older than 21 yet but I still know that not many people know how to sympathize yet and this is a show that makes people be in other people’s shoes and realize there can be a change in the world for the better.
This was supposed to be the show that was going to get NBC to cancel Mysteries of Laura. Thanks for NOTHING!
I’m mad because I watched her beat and mysteries of Laura and they both got canceled it’s BS
I can’t believe they cancelled Mysteries of Laura either!!! Both great shows….I hate NBC
