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?
NBC really making poor choices.. Loved Heartbeat this show was unique and uplifting its a shame to cancel it. this and mysteries of Laura. Undateable guess I wont be watching nbc anymore
I loved Mysteries of Laura too.
We we love the show so much we watching every single episode even the Beautiful song they put in the show please bring it back we are one huge fan
I loved this show! You never quite know what would happen next. Every person was so endearing. Sad thing is NBC didn’t give real people a chance to voice our opinion on this wonderful show. Another sad thing is you keep shows going forever, some should have been retired a few years ago & not willing to keep a show going for awhile. You should given this show more of a chance like you did Grimm. It had a shaky beginning just be loved now 5 seasons later. I wish you would rethink this NBC. Guess this why I don’t… Read more »
I loved this show it was funny…serious…sad and entertaining….no season 2, shame on NBC….it seems all the good shows are prematurely taken off the air and all the crap stays on…hopefully just like Nashville, another station will pick Heartbeat up!
I enjoyed this show because it was different and unusual! Heartbeat was loosely inspired by the real life and achievements of Dr. Kathy Magliato, this unique character-driven medical drama follows Dr. Alex Panttiere (Melissa George), an outspoken world-renowned heart transplant surgeon and one of the few women in her field. Stubborn and fearless, Alex always operates on her own terms. She revels in a racy personal life that’s a full-time job in itself, manages the daily demands of skeptical faculty and dutiful interns, and pushes the boundaries of medical science to impressive new heights. Kudos to Dr. Kathy Magliato and… Read more »
I absolutely loved this show. Your rating should consider people that DVR it, and also who watch it on On Demand. I’m not always home to watch it live, but I do make it a point to DVR it.
. I am so disappointed that Heartbeat has been cancelled. I thought it was a great program. Please reconsider it!! All the great programs are cancelled, while you leave some of the crappy ones on!!
Loved this show…please reconsider and renew for next season.
I am so sad that this is cancelled! Heartbeat was unique. Loved the unexpected and the difference in this show compared to most!! Bad call on this one!
I watch a lot of these medical dramas and this is the best one theres been for a long time..what a shame it has just finished in England with a cliffhanger so we will never find out what happens next.
Dr. Magliato’s memoir HEART MATTERS was published in February 2010.
Hopefully it might give you the ending you want!?!
Such a shame I loved this show and as usual another good one gone … Shame shame shame
Heartbeat was canceled because of low ratings… Who are you basing your rating off of??? I’m not on the list of what TV shows I like and what I don’t. Is it everyone on the east coast?? What about the west coast?? It’s the 18-49 age range, but I’m 16 and my mom and 54 and where’s our say-so?? I want to be a surgeon and go to medical school so this show is amazing in the medical aspect and has a beautiful sense of friendship, drama, love, family, and real life patients and struggles. This is extremely unfair to… Read more »
Don’t cancel this show! Loved watching season 1
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW. IT IS ONE OF FAVOURITE MEDICAL SHOWS NEXT TO GREY’S ANATOMY. PLEASE…..I BEG YOU….
Please don’t cancel this show! I found it on HULU and watched the whole season in 3 days. I love this show! Please bring it back!!!!!!!!!
I feel the same! If you try and take the same effort you can watch DOUBT as a catch-up See my comment of HEARTBEAT for details as to how to do it. It is another AWESOME CANCELED show that was canceled after just two episodes by CBS. They are showing the remainder of completed episodes on Saturdays at random times.
