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 WAIT WITH EXCITEMENT ALL WEEK LONG IN ANTICIPATION OF AT LEAST ONE HOUR OF TOTAL ABSORBTION , ENJOYMENT, ESCAPE AND THAT ”O’HENRY” MOMENT AT THE END. I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE,LOVE THIS SHOW AND ALL THOSE INVOLVED. PLEASE CANCEL ONE OF THE SHOWS THAT THERE ARE 30 MORE JUST LIKE IT, INSTEAD OF ONE THAT TRULY ENTERTAINS US.
To CBS:
Please don’t cancel Medium. I love it and as others have said it’s well written and warm. It’s about a couple who loves one another and work out differences in a way I’ve never seen. Please, please don’t cancel it. I’m all for boycotting CBS entirely.
Medium is an excellent show. I am SO disappointed that it will not continue. It’s hard to understand how a truly well written and superbly acted show can be canceled when other trash survives!
This is one of most interesting shows I watch. It’s done in good taste, and the family structure is actually realistic. AlthoughI don’t know of anyone with ESP dream abilities, I have had paranormal experiences myself.
This program provides great entertainment. Maybe they’ll substitute the Medium with a program containing language, semi-nudity, and/or violence for better ratings! SHAME ON YOU, CBS!
Perhaps one good way to protest the cancelling of quality tv shows, such as The Good Wife (no not cancelled yet, but idiots probably will) and Medium, is to protest by refusing to buy any products advertised by those arrogant stations, especially by the show’s replacements. Hey that would be a good way to protest a lot of other offensive material.
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! Stop taking off the good shows! Cut some of the “reality” shows. All fake garbage!!
I cannot believe that you are cancelling MEDIUM and replacing the current EARLY SHOW cast – what is the problem ? MEDIUM is one of the best written and best acted dramas on TV. Of course, those always get cancelled. And, the EARLY SHOW – what are you thinking ? I guess only falling ratings will get your attention. Those, surely, will come.
It is a shame that a n entertaining show such as this was canceled.Our family certainly enjoyed the Dubois’ family and their weekly dreams.This show will be missed.It’s not often that you get romance , comedy , murder ,suspense and ghosts in a family drama.
Thanks for 7 seasons of must see tv.
Would a heavy-duty write-in campaign help keep the show alive? It’s CBS’ fault this show had low ratings — Friday nights at 8:00? I have been watching Medium since day one and will not miss an episode. It’s my most favorite show. If CBS had moved it to a better night, e.g., Mondays as it was on NBC, it prob. would’ve survived.
Every show I get hooked on, CBS winds up cancelling.
It’s not a bad show, but I think it sort of jumped the shark when Allison had her brain tumor. Now the oldest daughter is out of the house (and off the show?). I’m also getting a little tired of everybody being skeptical of Allison’s visions, even though she’s got a pretty good track record. Time for it to go, IMHO.
Wow! Was not happy to hear that Medium has been canceled. Loved the show and actors. Really looked forward to Friday nites .
We, as a family, only agree on a few shows to watch together and now Friday nights will be coming to an end. Thanks for the wonderful show. Sorry, that intelligent themes and well written story lines do not interest the masses anymore. Do try to keep shows about people acting like social misfits to a minimum, would you? Oh one more request please no more police dramas.
First AFTERLIFE then JOHN EDWARD CROSS COUNTRY then GHOST WHISPERER and now MEDIUM.
TV NETWORKS YOU SUCK!!!! CABLE IS GONNA WIPE THE FLOOR WITH ALL OF YOU NETWORK STATIONS!
REALITY TV is for YOUNG KIDS, and THEY DO NOT BUY MERCEDES and CADILLACS. They do NOT supply your advertisers with customers, so the ratings are not always going to equal dollars! GET A CLUE!
THE INTERNET IS SHOWING THE OLD SHOWS ONLINE FREE, and YOU CAN NOT COMPETE!!!!
Bummer! Medium was really well written and exquisitely acted. My wife and I often glance at each other in disbelief over the similarities between the Dubois family and our own — from the “spooky” intuition of Allison, to Joe’s rocky employment; my two oldest are dopplegangers for Ariel and Bridgette. Of course, we’ve four girls to their three. But what we love most are the nuances played so well between Allison and Joe, so natural, so refreshing, already so missed.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CANCEL EVERY SHOW THAT MY FAMILY LOVES? GHOST WHISPER? MY GOSH!!!
