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?
I LOVED this show, such great acting and humorous. Looked so forward to it every week. I cannot believe it is being cancelled. Such a mistake. What are you going to have another stupid reality show. This was the BEST show on TV. I was always so emotional every time I watched, either made mE smile at the end or most of the time I was full of tears at the end. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
Please! Please!? Do not cancel the best show on TV of late. From episode 1 I’ve been enthralled. The character studies, the storylines relating “current world” relationships of people LOVING ONE ANOTHER despite real-life obstacles.
I live with a very ill spouse and this series actually gives us hope, not just entertainment but HOPE!! And I hope, with all my heart, that this show comes back. It truly gives us something to look forward to. We record and re-watch over and over. Please reconsider.
I just watched the episode where they donate the little boys heart to the chimp. Literally in tears. I watched Greys Anatomy for several years and while there were touching episodes, they can not compare to this. I got tired of all the non stop hook ups that seem to take over the show. Heartbeat’s basis is around unique medical situations and not whom is hooking up with whom. In a sea of reality shows and shows that are just plain ridiculous, this show is in a league of its own. Please do not cancel a show that is actually… Read more »
Of all the MANY series that come and go…this is, by far, the biggest disappointment!!! Who cares how many medical shows are currently airing…what about the ridiculous amount of reality shows that are airing and multiply at an alarming
rate. These shows are geared for a particular breed of viewers!!! There are millions of intelligent viewers that want a more intelligent form of entertainment!!!! The female surgeon is the most CHARMING AND ENTERTAINING I have seen in a very long time!!! GET A GRIP!!!
So disappointed the show is being cancelled – so different from the other medical show currently shown
Very disappointed on cancelation of Heartbest. I really enjoyed the cast and stories. Each week medical miracles took place. Bummer
Do not cancel the show! its an awesome show with amazing characters and has only had one season! why do you keep the crap shows and cancel the good ones!
Please don’t pull the plug (seriously, no pun intended)! I got hooked first time the show aired and loved the unpredictability of the plot, the balance of serious and light hearted moments you don’t see in other shows. Please, please reconsider and renew Heartbeat – this show is way better than other so-called “dramatic” reality shows out there.
This is s great show!!! Dang another one down
This is so much better than Grey’s!!!!! Shame to see it go!!
I wish that they would get rid of Greys!
What a Shame that another good show gets cancelled. Parenthood was set for cancellation also a while back and had a resurrection and became a big hit. Why do you judge the show so quickly? Please reconsider!!
Sad to see this cancelled was a good show funny with some excellent drama and mind pondering thoughts as we watch the struggle for life.
Please Please don’t cancel this show!!!!!!!!
Please Please Please don’t cancel this show!!!!
