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.
It’s different then other shows… it’s a great appealing show & deserves to be renewed. There are some many other shows that have so much violent behavior…..Pure Genius leaves you with hopefulness …. people that are willing to go the extra mile to help others!! Great family entertain that promotes Thinking & creative problem solving. Please renew!!
Thank you for your commentary one of the best I’ve read for the additional ordering of Pure Genius
The show grew on both me and my husband. I really think it deserves another season. There aren’t enough well done medical shows !
My husband and I look forward to watching this show and find it’s creativity and medical challenges compelling. The show is a topic of discussion often with groups of friends! PLEASE don’t cancel this quality, thought-provoking, quality show!
I love pure genius. It portrays hope which is so needed
My wife and I love Pure Genius and so do many of our friends! It is a good, non-violent show that demonstrates helping people in need. The characters demonstrate their desire to do everything medically and technically to restore health and peace to severely ill people who had no other hope to get well. Forget the 18-30 demographics of those who haven’t learned that the best work is helping and serving other people. Save this show. It is as good as NCIS.
I’m sick and tired of ratings. How is it some of the stupidest shows stay on for years but good enjoyable shows like Pure Genius get cut. I record the show and love it I hope they keep it. I’m seriously running out of good shows to watch.
I love this show!!! Please renew it!! Dermott Mulroney and Augustus Prew make a great pair in this show!!! Definitely want to see more ❤
I think Pure Genius should be kept on – it is refreshing and a great show that can be watched with the entire family which is rare these days – maybe it would do better in an earlier time slot!!
Please keep Pure Genius on… We love this show…
I LOVE this show – please don’t cancel. It’s a refreshing change
I just love this show. The whole concept is very engaging. Augustus Prew who plays James Bell is so enduring. You may want to rethink cancelling this one.
Please don’t cancel the show Pure Genius it’s the best medical show you have. It’s so close to real life situations n technology. My husband loves watching it too which is saying a lot.
So Please keep the show.
Best new show on TV which means it’ll probably get cancelled like every other show worth watching.
