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?
This is so very sad NBC has made a big mistake this show was great and a must watch. You guys are so willing to cut a show without giving it a fair chance other shows of far less quality are kept on far too long but a really good show that does not get the ratings off the bat gets cancelled. Do you wonder why you are the lowest ranked network out ther….this show being cut off is why. NBC used to be a good network for shows…remember E R….I do and I loved that show too…you need to… Read more »
I think NBC is making a big mistake this is a good show and I would love to see it back but if not on ZNBC then another network would be just fine by me.
I am so bummed that this show was cancelled! My daughter wants to go into the medical field because she thought it was so cool that a woman Doctor could hold a heart and help people. She wants to do the same.
I LOVED THIS SHOW and was waiting (hoping) for it to come back on. SO BUMMED!!!
Being an Aussie I love that Melissa George and Don Henry were two of the main characters! Loved the show!
We all LOVED Heartbeat!!! How could you cancel a great show like that and keep so many crappy shows?!
Guess I’ll see what other networks have!
I absolutely do not understand how this show could not be renewed !! This was one of the best shows that has ever been put on . Not only do I like that it has comedy but it also is entertaining. NBC you really messed up on this cancellation.
Renew!! I LOVE THEIS SHOW
NBC dropped Heartbeat to soon. I loved watching this show with my family. Hearbeat had all the “best” components that television series have to offer. Loved the characters, plots were exciting (great writers), and the setting fit perfectly to create a highly entertaining weekly show. I will miss it. I too, hope some other network picks it up.
I can’t believe they cancelled Heartbeat. It was a great show. NBC had cancelled so many great shows over the past 2 years. I start watching a new show then it’s cancelled after only 10 episodes. Allegiance being one of them.
OMG….THIS IS DEVASTATING !!!!!!!!!!!
I really like Heartbeat. It’s the only NBC show I like.
Far better show than anything on NBC. Big mistake NBC.
NBC is dead wrong to cancel heartbeat. It was really a cute show. TV needs more humor these days. Melissa George did a wonderful job and should certainly be given more time to profect her character. The show was really just getting started when your cancelling it. Please give it some more thought. Listen to your audience . TV today has blood and gore, horrible language and heartbeat was delightful. Thank you for listening and I hope you will reconsider.
Typical corporate B.S!! I loved this show. It was unique and a breath of fresh air from what is out there now. Bring it back!! The crap on major networks suck! You have to keep things interesting and new. A little risky if you want to compete with netfix. I bet they will buy it from NBC when they see all these reviews.
