What do you think? Are you watching Pure Genius? Do you think it should be renewed?
One of the few really positive shows please renew and have a 2nd — xx season! My wife and I really really love it!!
I think that this is a fantastic show. Please do not cancel it.
It is going to be cancelled. The live ratings for The Blacklist have been lousy this season and Pure Genius can’t finish ahead of it. Pray that Netflix or a cable channel picks it up. It’s a goner.
My husband and I watch this show faithfully!!!! Please don’t cancel this show. There were several new shows this past season and this is by far the best!!
This is the replacement for me and my wife for Royal Pains. Good, different clever and a good feeling show, but does that sell xy or z?
Please do not cancel ” Pure Genius “, This is the VERY BEST TV Show on TV. Perhaps CBS could air it earlier, it would gain a
Older and also younger audience – The 10 pm air time excludes a lot of people that would love this show.
I get if someone likes of show but do people have to keep using it’s the is the best show on TV line. Annoying just like this world is
Give it a better time slot, it’s a great show and consider a different demographic, you know the older viewers who actually have money to spend
if you have money to spend you should send it my way I could use it more than the stupid TV producers. Like 4 bills and spaying/neutering the cats around my house
Don’t just look at the young demographic group! There IS a following, they support your sponsors as much as the younger viewers. Other shows pick up speed season 2- give this show a chance!
Great show, gives a person faith, hope and it is a good show to watch. Very heart warming
Please do not cancel Pure Genius. We really enjoy the show. It is one of the better shows on TV. There are so many other TV shows that have violence and vulgar language so it is refreshing to watch a show that has no violence or vulgarity in it. You need to give Pure Genius another season. I sure the ratings will increase as more and more viewers begin to watch it.
Please don’t cancel. It’s one of the best shows on TV. It’s innovative and intense and inspirational . We love it.
I have fallen in love with Augustus Prew and cast of Pure Genius!! I enjoy every episode more the last and can’t wait to see what comes next. It may seem a bit unrealistic but so is much of the actual innovations we live with today, 20 years ago. I have seen so much in my 60 years, I can see all od the a reality in the not to distant future. This type of break through is only a dream and research away. We need to keep this show and hospital thriving..
CBS finally has an excellent medical drama depicting the technology age we are in, the possibilites of medicine, & giving hope for the future. Actors are excellent, with good chemistry without turning the show into a soap opera! PLEASE KEEP THIS ON!
Sounds like the end is coming. Maybe TNT/TBS should pick it up. They renewed Good Behavior with a 0.19 live average ratings. The ratings on this show blow that away.
It’s s different but good show. Although it had a slow start it definitely deserves to be renewed.
