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.

Love this show. One of the better new shows and old shows on. Please don’t cancel this show.
Love this show! It’s an intelligent well acted show. Please renew!
I absolutely love pure genius and honestly I am to the point I’m am going to stop watching CBS it seems like every time I get into a new show it is cancelled I mean come on Beverly hills 90210 was one of the lowest rates series of the season when it first aired they put a little faith in it and aired a 6 week summer season and it ended up being a top rated show for 10 years I think these television companies give up to easily on these shows run the series again on off season and… Read more »
Exactly!!! I always gage whether a show will make it or not on whether I like it? If I like it, it will not be renewed!
Omg! I totally agree! Whenever my husband and I pick up a new show, which we enjoy, it gets cancelled all the time! But when we stop watching shows they are all renewed. I just don’t understand. I really hope Pure Genius will be renewed!
It is fantastic that a teenager is willing to watch any show with her parents! That fact alone speaks volumes about the quality of this show and should be worth keeping it on the air!!
Please renew Pure Genius. I love this show. This is an excellent show. Give a chance.
The ratings are also inacurate as so many viewers don’t watch the show the night it is broadcast but rather record it so they can watch it later like every other show we watch. The people making the decisions neef to take this into account and not be so quick to come to the conclusion that any show isn’t being watched by enough viewers. Give pure genious a chance unlike many othet shows you have made the wrong decisions about and canceled.
I love this show, it’s different and brilliant. A show should not be removed afyer just a few episodes and Ure Genius is no exception. Pleade do not cancel it.
I enjoy Pure Genius & watch it every week. I hope the network reconsiders canceling this show. The stories are interesting with the mix of cutting edge science & very touching human relationships.
Please renew, my wife and I enjoy this show. It has a positive message, so hard to find on tv.
I would love to see this show come back for a second season. I had obligations throughout the fall and finally got around to watching all the episodes- this show is EXCELLENT – well written and family friendly
I love this show….please don’t cancel. Give it a chance to find an audience!
Please renew…it’s a show with brains…
For the sake of good television and for those that are inspired and renewed by this show, it’s characters and vision… PLEASE, DO NOT CANCEL!
I definitely think the show should be renewed. Love the ideas outside the box and the possibilities for the future of medicine.
