The team members on the Pure Genius TV show work together to save lives. It’s a noble cause but will their stories attract enough viewers to bring big ratings? Will this new CBS TV series be cut down in its prime (cancelled) or, will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Pure Genius follows top medical professionals 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. Others on the team are played by Odette Annable, Reshma Shetty, Aaron Jennings, Ward Horton, and Brenda Song.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available.

What do you think? Do you like the Pure Genius TV show on CBS? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season two?
5/15/17 update: CBS has cancelled Pure Genius after one season. Details here.
Please renew. I love this show . bringing medicine and technology together is brilliant. Great storyline
Please keep on the air. This show is awesome and the cast is fantastic.
Keep pure Genius on the air. It’s intertaining, real live situations and hopefully it will be around for at least another season. I think the reason it doesn’t have a larger following is it’s not advertised. So many new shows are featured for weeks before they actually start the season. Please keep Pure Genius on the air for another season
Please renew. It’s the best medical show in a long time.
Excellent show that should definitely be renewed.
best medical tv show i’ve seen in a long time CBS always cancels the good shows
Please keep the show. If it gets cancelled, I’m done with CBS.
This is one of the best shows on tv today and should really be renewed
please renew pure genius, It’s a great show!
Bunker Hill is the very best tv series new or otherwise I’ve seen in years. Please DON’T cancel it
Finally an intelligent drama that has a cast that fit together…chemistry with one another. The stories are new and refreshing and interwind from week to week. This isn’t all fantasy..some of this is actually cutting edge medicine. This is not mindless dribble that are out to make fools of one another…those shows are safe. Please give it at least another season. This will be a classic like medical dramas of years past that we fondly remember. Don’t cancel it before t has a chance.
Please renew this show is Excellent. Give it a chance so much potential
Awesome show! RENEW RENEW! Uplifting, just what we need RIGHT NOW. Great stories, gelling cast, cool tech.
I absolutely love this show, my husband who can barely sit still for a half hour of most tv shows, just sat through 2 hours of this show to catch up on it. Please renew the show.
This is the most innovative show I’ve seen in years. Please bring it back !
