The latest medical drama on CBS is going the way of Three Rivers and NBC’s Mercy and Trauma. Miami Medical has been cancelled after one season on the air. However, there is some good news.
Miami Medical follows the exciting lives of a group of talented surgeons who work at one of the best trauma centers in the country. The Friday night drama features Lana Parrilla , Jeremy Northam, Omar Gooding, Mike Vogel, and Elisabeth Harnois.
The CBS medical series got off to a poor start on April 2nd with a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.59 million viewers. In week two, the numbers dropped to a 1.4 rating in the demo and 7.1 million viewers. Viewership has continued to tumble and thus far, the season has averaged a disappointing 1.3 rating in the demo and 6.7 million viewers.
To put these figures in perspective, Numb3rs’ season had better numbers — an average of a 1.8 rating and 8.27 million — and was ultimately cancelled.

And now, like so many of the other medical dramas from this season, Miami Medical has been cancelled. There won’t be a second season.
On the positive side, the show was scheduled to finish its run tonight, leaving five of its 13 episodes unaired. But now, CBS has added some additional airdates.
Next Friday’s will be a repeat of the pilot episode. Then, original episodes will return on June 4th, paired with new installments of Flashpoint. The last episode of Miami Medical is expected to air on July 2nd.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Miami Medical’s been cancelled or should it have been pulled awhile ago?

r u freking serious. this show shouldn’t have been cancelled at all. it is better than most medical shows that have been made. Is an average of 8.2 million viewers not enough i find it pretty amusing. if all these people like the show why take it off. If you had left it for more time maybe people would have noticed and more people would have seen it. In Spain the show arrived a few weeks ago. Bring it back plz.
This is one of the best shows on TV!!! My whole family really enjoyed it.
I was looking to see when the new season was starting and am very disapointed that it isn’t coming back. I absolutely loved this show. Please bring it back.
I hate that this show was cancelled. I loved the show and the actors. I looked for the new season for a long time until I finally looked and saw it was cancelled. I hate to get into a new show and then it is cancelled. Just like Eleventh hour. What a shame. PLEASE BRING IT BACK. Once people give it a chance it would do wonderfully.
Once again, just as I’m getting into a show, it gets cancelled. So why would I bother watching any of the new programs when the TV stations are constantly pulling them off the air? Instead, they retain the “reality” trash and *yawn* clones programs of other TV stations. Guess the good news is that I am back to reading books.
So sorry to hear of the cancellation! Our family loved this series. Too much garbage out there! What am I supposed to watch?!?…Jersey Shore crap!?!
I loved Miami Medical. I hate to see it cancelled. Hopefully they will bring it back.
This show was a great blend of the characters’ work and personal life. If the show had been on TNT, USA or another cable network it would have survived. What a shame that a great cast wasn’t given a fair chance. They should have kept this show and gotten rid of the tired CSI shows. Same with Mercy – it would have done well on cable. No wonder the CBS, NBC and ABC networks are losing out to cable.
I am thankful that I saved all the shows on my PVR as they are so well done. The cast from the beginning engaged you. I know once a show bites the dust there is no way it will be brought back. It seems that Friday night is almost a graveyard for shows.
liked the show sorry to see it was cancelled
I LOVED THIS SHOW!!! WHY do they do that?? It sucks because now you don’t even want to watch TV!! Everytime I get to the point that I LOVE a show they decide to take it off!! WHY NOT just give it another season to see if people will catch on, this REALLY UPSETS ME!!!
Really? Are you kidding me? Every time I really like a show it gets cancelled! 7 million viewers and that isn’t enough? I really liked the cast on this show too. I wish there was a station out there that didn’t mind a show with 7 million viewers and a show lasted for awhile.
I absolutely LOVED MIAMI MEDICAL. My husband and I never missed it. When it didn’t come back on he got mad because he said all the other big shows were getting too gross and showing to much . He just doesn’t watch tv much anymore. If he does it’s oldies.PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s quite a pity, I am such a BIG fan of Jeremy Northam… Pleeeeeeeaze, give it back, give it the second chance for this poor foreign (Yes, I’m watching this in Korea!) fan!
It beat the hell out of all the reality crap on TV>
Better than ER, more in line with Chicago hope ( had MUCH petter writing than ER, just bad time placements)
Bring it back,,,,,Lost finally got Lost, and the Evening is something that NO ONE cares about !!!!!!!!!
