It looks like CBS has quietly cancelled the Pure Genius TV show. Deadline reports the network has decided not to order any episodes beyond the initial 13. That said, expect all produced episodes to air.
A medical drama from Jason Katims, Pure Genius stars Dermot Mulroney, Augustus Prew, Odette Annable, Reshma Shetty, Aaron Jennings, Ward Horton, and Brenda Song. Production will reportedly wrap on December 15th, with episode 13.
Pure Genius: A Look at the Ratings
Pure Genius premiered on October 27th. The pilot garnered a 1.05 in the 18-49 year old viewer ratings demographic and drew a total audience of 6.229 million viewers. It has been mostly downhill since then.
To date, CBS has aired four episodes of Pure Genius. The show’s season average in the demo is a paltry 0.94, and its total average audience is 5.617 million viewers. In other words, the cancellation is not a huge surprise.

The majority of new shows on TV are an insult to our intelligence. Pure Genius showed compassion and innovative thinking. It’s a shame it was cancelled.

This is a very realistic show when it came to the surgical pics and language of medicine. I had recorded every episode but the last episode left a lot of unclosed affairs. If your going to close this show, answer those unanswered questions, as main patient dreaded disease, and what happens to Augustus Prew in the end and Dr. Wallace, his relationship with his wife and closing of hospital.
I loved that show and recorded it when I couldn’t watch it on that night. I love the actors and the premise of the show. It was entertaining and educating to a small degree. Please bring it back.

It’s no wonder this show was cancelled. Instead of entertainment the writers decided to breach to the audience! Ultimately the consumer reigns! learn the lesson people!
