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.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
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.
Come on Its only been 13 episodes, CBS needs to give It a chance to pick up followers. It hasnt had enough time or exposier to pick the numbers and follower up yet. The show Is Pure Genious and will pick up followers as the show goes on just like Scorpion did, which Is another brillant CBS TV show. The show just has not had enough time. Atleast give It one more season and get the word out their It will become the next Greys Anatomy or E.R, people love medical show. This will become big.
Love the show, please bring it back

Love the show, please bring it back!!!
Pure Genius is one of the best new shows on! CBS talked about canceling it around the 3 episode. Give the show a chance. New viewers don’t want to start watching a show that is going to be cancelled. I love this show and so do my adult children!! CBS never gives shows a chance, if this show doesn’t get renewed I am going to quit investing my time on any new shows the channel puts out!!

Pure Genius is such a good show! Definitely a new favorite! Please keep making episodes! I HAVE to know what happens next!!
I cannot believe CBS would not bring this drama back for season 2′. CBS usually on-point in recognizng great programming. NCIS and Madam Secretary as examples. I have been a Nurse fo too many years to count . I cannot tell you how many times I have talked with fellow nurses and docs and we have said..”just wait till I have my own hospital”. This program is the animation of of our conversation. Please. rethik it guys.
Best new show of the year. Give’shope of what is to come.
Refreshingly positive show. One of best shows on tv…So much better in many ways. Please renew!
I love this show! The characters are so well developed. The acting is genuine and so believable. It is by far my favorite show. PLEASE DONT CANCEL IT!!!
I love it. Important for people to see. Hope for the future
Love the show,please don’t cancel it.
This is the smartest show on TV. Please bring it back. It is one of few truly uplifting shows. America desperately NEEDS more programming like this now that’s there’s a reality show ratings maniac living in the White House. Please give us something to hold onto that involves Pure Love…PURE GENIUS.
Shame on you for even considering cancelling one of the best new offerings on the CBS lineup!!! We look forward to watching every Thursday and would really miss this fine program. Please reconsider and renew.
