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.
This is by far one of the best new shows on TV. The last thing we expected to hear is that it will be cancelled. My entire family watches every week and looks forward to it. It gives you hope that people are thinking outside the traditional medical protocols for diseases that would have no hope. Please keep it on….
Finally an excellent show with no cursing and showing acts of human kindness towards the patients. For a change it’s about how medical care should be instead of being all about money.
But I assume most of us want to hear foul language, see blood and gore or even better: watch a fake reality show. Sad…
Loved watching Pure Genius. I can’t believe they are taking it off the air. I am a nurse and work long hours but stayed up to watch every Thursday. Please give it a second season.
Pls do not cancel the show. I am looking forward for season 2. I want to know what happen to Bell.
Please give Pure Genius another season, don’t leave us hanging. It’s not just for the 18-49, my husband and I are late 50, early 60 and recorded every episode and loak forward to watching. This show is such a refreshing change from all the other medical shows. Even though it’s TV it makes you think what could be possible combining medicine and technology. It’s like the show House for the new age. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL.
Please don’t cancel Pure Genius. I think it’s a great show. I have watched it every week. I think it’s different from most other shows. I love this program. Please don’t cancel the show. It’s a very good refreshing program and different from other medical tv programs. I look forward to watching it every Thursday. It amazing with strong characters. Please please give it another season. Great show!!!
I look forward to watching pure genius every week
One of the best feel good shows out there, amazing and strong characters and not “junk” tv – it’s the ONE show that my entire family watches together!! Give it another season, please!!!
Please bring the show back another season. This is one of the few shows my husband and I faithfully watch and enjoy every minute of it. Besides we need to see how James fares for the future. Too many shows on that are boring- CBS you all have stepped up your game keep it going!
