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.
Please don’t cancel Pure genius. It’s one of the best “dr” shows around. I’ve cried watching almost every episode and am so curious to find out what happens to Louis, Wallace and his wife , Zoe and Malik, James and the nurse, Angie and the priest. Tour many good story lines to cancel. It’s keeps us on the edge of our seats wondering what they are going to do next to save someone and if there is going to be any complications.
Rather than “one of the best “dr” shows around”, I’d say “best ever!!!”
This is a show my family looks forward to watching. I hope a season 2 is considered.
We hope you give Pure Genius another chance . It’s one of the few shows worth watching these days.
My family loves this show! Please don’t cancel! We have to wonder… who are the ones giving this show low ratings? It would be such a shame if this shoe didn’t get renewed.
This is one show I look forward to seeing every week. It gives us a glance of what the future of medicine could be. It’s ahead of its time but not that far-fetched. It is so much more stimulating than any CBS program reality show on the air at this time. Good premise, good acting-please do not cancel this show. I have never left a comment on a show that was on the verge of being cancelled but feel very strong about this one.
I am very disappointed to see that pure genius won’t return for a season 2. My fiance and I absolutely love this show and it is set to record on dvr every single week. There are many shows that have had a much longer run on television that don’t even start to measure up to this show. Please please BRING BACK PURE GENIUS!!!!
I absolutely love this show. Please don’t cancel.
Please don’t cancel this show. Every week I look forward to seeing what innovative treatment they try. I love the chemistry and drama between the characters. Please put it in a time slot to get maximum viewing so orhers can see what the rest of us do.
Please Renew Pure Genius!!! It is a wonderful show!!
We always record the show on the DVR and just found out that the show is going to be cancelled. Our family really enjoys this show, I don’t want to repeat what the other viewers wrote already but PLEASE do not cancel it, we loved every episode and always look forward to see what will come next.
Incredible feel good show. Please renew. My husband and I would miss this show.
Absolutely LOVE this show! One of the very best on TV! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t cancel!!!!!!!!
I am very sad to hear that Pure Genius will not be returning. Love this show! It is so many things that other shows are not. It is such a refreshing departure from the overdone “reality” format, the violence of the many crime shows and the lies and deception in most dramas. The ideas that the doctors try on their patients are actually things that are currently being worked on by researchers. I very much enjoy the intellectual side to this show. Too bad there was never much promotion by the network to advertise this show and gather a following.… Read more »
