CBS hasn’t announced that Medium has been cancelled but, while attending an event last weekend, Patricia Arquette said that the show will indeed be ending this season.
Like her character, series star Arquette can indeed see the future. Now, Medium creator Glenn Gordon Caron has confirmed that the drama is finished. Of the last episode, Caron wrote, “Allison Dubois will dream her last dream on Medium Friday, January 21st. In what we believe will be a series defining episode, Allison and her family will stare destiny in the eye. And destiny will not blink.”
The ratings for Medium have taken a real hit this season. Despite frequently winning its timeslot, the drama has averaged a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.41 million viewers. CBS reduced the number of episodes to just 13 as a result.
What do you think? How would you like to see Medium end? Should some of the characters die or should Allison lose her abilities? How about Joe and Allison finally getting a good night’s sleep?

I think I got a Neilson Rating twice in my life so I have no clue where they get their statistics from either. I think it s*cks. I love Medium. First they ax Ghost Whisperer and now Medium. They were two great shows with one leading in to the other. CBS s*cks.
Medium is one of the few interesting and mind-bending shows on TV with all it’s twists and turns and weekly surprises. It allows us to escape to Allison’s world, a world of intrigue, drama, mystery and suspense that include the side stories of her husband and children adding even more interest. I love that her daughters exhibit some of the same pre-cognitive abilities. Also, Ms. Arquette’s portrayal is delightful and genuine. It is a refreshing departure from the “norm” of most shows. I am very disappointed that this show will not continue. It has never disappointed me since the very… Read more »
Joan of Arcadia…Without A Trace…Medium. .What’s wrong with this picture??
wouldn’t you know it something that was good for every family member and now
gone. If there is a way to change this outcome please let me know.
Money it figures!!
I am so sick of these “head-of network” idiots deciding for EVERYBODY what they do and do not want to watch!!! I have never missed a single episode of Medium, and I know of a lot of other people that don’t either. I even DVR it every week in the event that that is how they determine ratings. What more can we do to save our favorite shows when nobody asks US what we want to watch? Just how many CSIs are out there? One for almost every city, and only ONE Medium!!! Get rid of a couple of those… Read more »
Medium is the best show on Friday why do you have to cancel a good program. We look forward to this show. First Ghost Whisperer and now this. Come on CBS give us a break!Why not cancel CSI Miami it really sucks….
So let me get this straight, Medium wins it’s time slot regularly but gets canned anyway? What the flunk is that all about? Is it a shows fault that people don’t watch TV on Friday’s, especially fall Friday’s when A LOT of, probably TV viewing people, are at high school football games? This is another in a continuing line of dumb moves by the little 3 networks! You can’t refer to them as the Big 3 anymore as they are no where near what they once were, thank goodness! Can you imagine if the only choices you had for TV… Read more »
A show wins it’s time slot and gets cancelled? What’s up with that? Obviously Friday isn’t a big TV night so the numbers won’t match those of other nights except Saturday! Not to mention, fall Fridays would be worse due to high school football being a big part of a whole lot of peoples lives who might otherwise be watching TV but not on that night at that time of year! Bad form CBS, NBC and why not ABC! You all suck!
For those of us who are exhausted at the end of the work week and look forward to Friday night TV with Medium, CSI:NY, and Tom Selleck, CBS provided great TV for us Baby Boomers still in the work force. Now Medium is being cancelled…what is THAT! Come on, CBS…reconsider!!!!!!!
I was wondering where do they get these ratings from. I’ve never been asked or can they tell what we are watching???
I don’t know what’s wrong with CBS…Cold Case last year and now this. Both shows were well worth keeping. Sad to see them go.
i think medium is one of the few good shows on tv i hope they do not cancel it there are some crappy shows on tv cancel hawaii 50 instead it sucks
I am so bummed. It is one of my favorite shows. Of couse it has low ratings, they moved it to Friday, then to 7:00. First Ghost Whisperer, then Medium, what’s next, the Mentalist and the Defenders. I would like to boycott CBS, that probably won’t do any good. I hope some other station picks it up. To Jay that said it’s about time, what does he care, he just doesnt have to turn it on Geez. I can’t believe that Two and a half men being the highest rated, he is always just trying to get someone in bed,… Read more »
I absolutely love this show. My alarm is set to it. I am devastated. There is nothing else that I get excited to watch. I am begging CBS to reconsider.
A good Friday night show.
Nothing else really like it on television (regular channels)
Her soon to be ex-husband’s show “Good Guys” on Friday nights
although it was pretty basic – was somewhat entertaining – and
that’s going too!
I’m reading more and more and turning on tv less & less.
I think it’s time for Allison DuBois to retire. The show had a good run, but it has run its course and has been struggling to keep my interest the past couple seasons. All the increased violence and gore have made it more shocking, but not necessarily better. I wish Allison, and especially Joe, a good night’s sleep…finally!
