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.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Pure Genius TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Sound off, in the comments.
Please renew the show. Wife and I love it!!
I love this show. It took me a few episodes but am hooked. I really hope it comes back for another season
This has quickly become my favorite show. So sad that it has been cancelled. I very rarely watch television and made an exception for this show. Boo to CBS for barely giving it a chance.
Pure Genius has become one of my favorite shows. I wish they would keep the show on a little longer for others to discover what a great show it is.
Pure Genius is tied with Scorpion for my favorite show! My husband and I can’t believe that it’s not getting great ratings. Wish it would stay on. If we are not home to see it, we tape it!
Pure Genius is one of the best shows this season. The stories are varied and interesting and always leaves you with a warm feeling. It’s great to find a show that is intelligent and without violence. Gives humanity hope. Seems to me that any time there is a show that has substance and quality, it gets cancelled.
I think this is one of the best shows on. It’s not mindless and is always interesting as a matter of fact maybe it’s a peak at what the future of medicine could be with a few of the million/billionaires contributing to good and not just bigger yachts.
Please don’t cancel Pure Genius, it is rare to find a show that had everything wrapped up into one wonderful hour of hope, love and family.
Love, love, love this show and cast. Fascinating to see the evolution of medicine as enhanced through technology. I’m sure so much of this is futuristic, but it’s exciting to see the possibilities in our future to conquer common as well as rare diseases. Really hate to see this cancelled. By the way, I’m part of the “old” audience but really love the cast and their characters.
Don’t cancel this show please!
A favorite new show, would be a shame if it gets cancelled. 🙁
