What do you think? Are you watching Pure Genius? Do you think it should be renewed?
Really enjoying the show. Please renew it and keep it going.
I really have enjoyed this show, it’s like House only with more realistic characters. While some of the cures are futuristic and may not be realistic, it gives good impression of what could be done. But the characters work extremely well together as a group. They picked a good cast. I think it is one of the reason’s why this show works well. Bell’s selfless character, and his relationship with Dr. Walter Wallace is a good balance. This is also way better show then Grey’s (which I am not sure why people like because it is such a whiny show).… Read more »
This is one of the best shows on TV. Please don’t cancel it. Maybe change the time slot. Just don’t cancel.
Love the show. Renew it please.
Love it. I’ve bonded with the characters and love the futureistic elements. It gives hope and is nice to see positive tv.
Take a page out of The Listener and see how much support had that show running for 5 years. It was the same thing. Stop axing your shows before your paid support disappears………it will happen. Get rid of some of the reality junk and put a show with a great storyline back in the running. It’s been too long. This is better than Grey’s Anatomy and I watch that prime time soap for many years. Pure Genius is not only entertaining, it has the potential to be around for many years. If you can’t see a future for any show,… Read more »
This is the only good show on for me right now. I’ve followed shows that are int heir 7-10th seasons and I hate them now. This is new, fresh, fun and emotional. I love the relationships between the doctors and their patients. It’s so strong and so real, and I actually like the couples between the doctors. The show is going somewhere and I NEED them to renew it. Please.
This is a fantastic show! Great cast, great stories! Please keep this show!
This show is phenomenal. It helps me believe that there are motivated professionals out there that can look beyond standard protocol. I truly hope the show is not cancelled. I have been hooking friends on it each week.
My husband and I love this show. We have just recently introduced friends to the show, and they love it as well!! Please don’t cancel Pure Genius!!!!
I love this show! Renew it PPPPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!!!
Renew please
Pure Genius is, by far, one of the best-written shows, currently playing. Canceling the show would only further expose the absolute ignorance of television execs.
To be honest, I will be really disappointed if this show ends for good! It’s hard to have a show to feel so care about life nowadays with all those zombies & vampires stick around, which creates the teenagers killer in the school! Redirection of people’s mind has always been hard but doesn’t mean we give up trying just because of the figures!
I really hope this show will go on or at least ends with a promising progress with James as it is rare enough to find such a kind of good in rich people anymore!
My wife watched the first episode and said she liked it but refused to watch all the rest of the recordings on the DVR because she said CBS would probably cancel it, and why invest the time. She now says if the network won’t support a show for more than two years she will not watch anymore new programming. She is getting tired of watching one season efforts and then getting let down. If there are complete seasons to watch on Netflix or Amazon Prime, then she will binge watch complete years worth of a series’s in days. Is it… Read more »
