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.

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.
The program seems to show what the futures lies ahead for medicine. It also shows that it’s not a “FACTORY” Bringing in patients and shoveling them out! Maybe some of our larger HUGE HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS SHOLUD TAKE A GOOD LOOK ! I REALIZE it’s only TV but it gives a great feeling and doesn’t have to be dirty to be good! Thanks!!!!
Don’t cancel this show! It is great, love the story lines! You need to promote it better!
I absolutely love this show. There’s nothing else like it on. It’s so heart warming and has had me either nearly crying or actually crying a few times. They’d be insane to cancel it.
Please do not cancel this program. All the networks are cancelling the good programs. You get into a show and then it ends not knowing how it ends. They leave you “hanging”. Please reconsider.
Pure Genius is our favorite show!!! Please don’t cancel it!!!
Please keep this show. If you tried a little harder to promote it, you would get your ratings. I found it by accident and now love it.
This is a refreshing and AMAZING show… please don’t cancel it…. the show itself truly is “Pure Genius”.
Honestly… I missed three episodes because you changed dates and my PVR never recorded them. I assumed it was not back from the holidays yet…
My Mom and Husvand all watch this show as well and we are so tired of really good shows getting ca cancelled
Please keep this show. Please don’t cancel it!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show is amazing! I love the story lines! It is so nice to have a show that has an edge but shows the strength of these characters and their willingness to take on any challenge and help people that have lost all hope. It’s inspiring especially in today’s world! Please don’t cancel it!!!
Please keep this show on the air. My husband and I love it. It’s so refreshing to watch a show that offers hope, even if it is far fetched at times. Definitely a feel good show.
Please keep Pure Genius it’s the best drama on TV it’s refreshing and encouraging. With today’s society and dramas all about taking lives, finally a show that’s all about saving lives!!!
We love this show!!! Please renew it for a second season!
Pure Genius is a refreshing change. Please give it another season with better promotion. You might want to consider a better night and time slot. This show is very uplifting in a very challenging time for our nation. Please, please give it another chance!
Please do not cancel this show! I love this show. All of the characters work so well together. The story lines are brilliant.
Pure Genius is a very good show, with an excellent cast. Bunker Hill Hospital owned and run by a billionaire should be able to branch out with as many episodes as the writers have imagination. Please give it a chance to grow, and to develop the characters more fully. Especially Augustus Prew’s character of James Bell. There are so many possible plots and story lines a billionaire genius with a heart could branch out to.
