What would be the smart move? The season one finale of Pure Genius just aired on January 26th, and we want to know if you think CBS should cancel or renew the TV show for a second season.
A medical drama, Pure Genius follows a team of doctors as they team up with cutting-edge tech experts and try to push the boundaries of modern medicine to save lives. Doctor Walter Wallace (Dermot Mulroney) is a disgraced but brilliant surgeon who is recruited by a young Silicon Valley tech billionaire, James Bell (Augustus Prew). Wallace learns that Bell is harboring a secret and he begins to question just what the young founder is really trying to achieve. The cast also includes Odette Annable, Reshma Shetty, Aaron Jennings, Ward Horton, and Brenda Song.
Pure Genius debuted on October 27th with middling ratings for CBS. The pilot earned a 1.05 rating in the 18-49 demo and 6.23 million viewers. From there, the numbers only declined. With only 13 episodes under its belt, season one of the series received an average rating of 0.86 in the 18-49 demo and a total of only 5.34 million viewers. The show’s ratings currently rank third to last out of CBS’ 22 scripted series for the 2016-2017 season.
Given the low ratings and CBS’ decision not to order more episodes, it seems likely Pure Genius will be cancelled.
But, we want to know what you think. Should CBS cancel the medical drama or, renew it for a second season? Tell us what you think.
Great series with interesting storylines. I hope the network keeps this show in their lineup.
This is a great new program with a great cast and very interesting story and characters. It makes people have hope for future miracles in medicine. Please encourage the network not to cancel this program.
This show is awesome. Gives people hope that one day there will be a place like this where anyone could go to get treated..
This show was outstanding from start to finish in not only content and creativity but in the writing and acting. Keep it going please! We need good shows like this.
Definitely keep this show
Oh my god please DO NOT cancel this show! I love it! My family and I watch it every week and even my dad (who is really picky when it comes to series) loves it, and that is a difficult thing to achieve.
We LOVE this show! Great acting, thought provoking, moving. Hopefully it will be renewed.

Going to really miss this one! ! Please bring it back
I hope it gets renewed. Enjoyed the show with a new concept.
Hopefully it will be renewed
Finally! A show where people are trying to help people! So what does the network do? Kills off the show. I believe people are conditioned for all shows to start in the Fall. When the year ends and things calm down another mish-mash of TV scheduling starts; such as TV specials, surprise introductions of new shows and the like. The continuation of the Fall shows as far as scheduling goes, is not as it used to be either. Unfortunately, I realize that the bottom line for the networks is just $$$$$, which is translated from the unseen numbers watching. I… Read more »
