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.

5/15/17 update: CBS has cancelled Pure Genius after one season. Details here.
Fabulous show. Interesting amd heartwarming all in one. I look forward to it every week during my on demand weekend binge. Very sad at the thought of it being cancelled. Please keep it.
Please renew, we find it to be very entertaining.
Yes, renew, find, we find the show very entertaining.
Pure Genius is exactly what the show is it should be renewed to get a chance to catch on let’s put it simply I’d rather be taken care of at that hospital than morons at Greys anatomy all that is is a soap opera of whose humping who at the hospital
Both my husband and I Love Pure Genius! It is fresh and close futuristic medical science. Love those shows as they bring Hope to situations that are virtually incurable. That’s what we need these days instead of gloom and doom and the world is coming to an end sort of thing. Please renew for 2nd season! Thank you for keeping a little hope in our lives.
Please please renew pure genius, it’s the only show both my daughter and I really like!
Pure genius is such a wonderful show! Wish we could at least keep a few good heart warming shows like this. Very disappointed
My husband and I love the show. Please give it another chance.
My husband & I love this show. It is pure genius-it needs to be given a chance. Would be wonderful if this is our health care of the future-gives us hope
I know this is a repeat of all who have written but it is a show that touches people deep down. It is emotional and stimulating. I to look forward to this show each week. A departure from the same old tired repetition of every other medical drama being aired these days. A new and refreshing idea.
It gives us hope of the medical advancements that are before us.
The show talks to us saying can we do this, yes it is possible.
Please renew this show! It is one of our favorites. I think the ratings are w because The Blacklist is on at the same time. Pure Genius is a wonderful show! Great actors, stories and its clean. Please do not cancel it!
Prue Genius is being cancelled but Scorpion and McGyver are staying?
No bed hopping, insensitive language or comments, reasonable dressed personal, kind of refreshing. So nice for a change.
How about letting those who enjoy an interesting story have one show they like to watch? You know maybe a little customer satisfaction here.
My husband and I really enjoy this show and we hope it isn’t cancelled. We are tired of watching criminal shows that have resorted to sadistic, violent & gross story lines with the female investigators wearing low cut tops, skin tight pants and ridiculous footwear just to keep or boost the ratings.
My husband and I absolutely LOVE Pure Genius. We we SHOCKED to learn it isn’t doing well and is on the chopping block!! It’s an intelligent and amazing show. You just can’t cancel it! It’s by far the best new show this season…much better than Bull! Please keep it! Advertise it more!!
Would like to see CBS keep series going. Cutting edge and timely with pace of medical research. Weak link is time slot and lack of CBS promotion.
Please don’t cancel! My family and I look forward to watching this every week. It breaks our heart to know that it’s ending. I love how every episode has so much meaning and emotion. Give us another season!!!
