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 will miss this show. In the putrid wash of reality shows such as “The Bachelor” and the violence, profanity and downright sadism of some of the other shows such as “CSI” and Crminal Minds” that now air, “Medium” was a standout of creativity and suspense. The family life was real, and the love of Joe and Allison was sincere. Why cancel a show that reflects solid family life and leave sordid trash and shallow plot schemes. I guess the almight dollar always wins out. I am disappointed in the network. I don’t think the ratings were the only issue.
I agree. Bring it back! Please!
I am so sad! This was a terrible way to end the show. I didnt even realize it was the series finale until it ended….HORRIBLY! She should have lost her ability not her husband. I will miss this show 🙁
Very disappointed that this series has ended…I had no idea…I don’t understand how the ratings are low….this has been the BEST show for Friday nites.
I have never enjoyed a show more, this is the only show that showed us “real” family dynamics. After reading comments others have left, your “stats” MUST be wrong.
probably replace it with another CSI or Law & Order or NCIS. I am so sick of the same old show. Medium was different & intriguing. There is less & less worth watching.
I loved Medium. It was my favorite show. I cannot understand why shows like CSI Miami can continue with mediocre actors and Medium is cancelled with such wonderful actors.
I can’t believe the show was cancelled – it just flatly ended so quickly. One of the best family shows on TV – yes it had a bit of violence but nothing compared to what is on the air now. Stupid- Stupid – Stupid – let’s put more “CRAP” on TV for family viewing. Friday night was probably not the night to have it on – more like Monday or Sunday when more families are watching TV – great show – super actors – wrong decision folks!!!
Very sad, love the chemistry of the family. What were they thinking to cancel this show. Must have something to do with the divorce of the Gramer’s
I am so disappointed about this show being cancelled. They kept “Ghost Whisperer” on way past ridiculous —-the whole her husband died and is in another person—
Medium did a fanatic job of portraying a very believable family dynamic. Full of problems which were realistic but the love they shared for each other was amazing. Also it was not a fairy tale where everyone turned wonderful when they passed over and that there were consequences for a person’s actions—-
I am really sorry to see this end –the last episode was just as great as it’s predecessors!!!!!
I was so sad to see this show end. But I loved the way it ended. Kudos to the writers it was wonderful and very moving and I hope that the cast knows they did a great job… BOO HOO
Bring it back! The best show. First Ghostwhisperer then this!
This sucks totally sucks! I don’t know where they get their feedback on who is watching what but apparently my household doesn’t count! At least Medium got a chance to have a meaningful ending! They just pulled the plug on Ghost whisperer with no series finale ending! Wake up CBS!
You would think they would check with your household
before programming changes!
I’ve watched Medium since in inception…I never watch CBS until Fridays when Medium is airing…I usually recorded it because 8pm is too early for me…I like watching it by 10pm…a great way to end my Friday…The fact that CBS cancelled the greatest show on TV…tells me…it was the show that drop in rating…it CBS who doesn’t get the attention it needed to maintain the show…NBC should have kept Medium or many allow ABC to take the show over…they seem to have more viewers and I am sure Medium could have kept up for years…I am so disappointed that I won’t… Read more »
I was totally floored when I found out that Medium was being canceled . I can’t believe it!
The only thing I watched on Friday night and now its gone? You guys at CBS are crazy!
Some people are sick of reality shows and comedy crap that isn’t even funny. This was one of my favorite shows to watch and now its gone! Great going CBS!!!!! Medium will be missed!!!!!! Looks like we are going to have to get Net Flix and watch movies all the time instead of tv since there is nothing on worth watching!!!
I with ya all. I cant believe that Medium is no more. It was the only show I watched on Friday night’s. Just won’tbe the same..
