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.
Star Trek was a futuristic show and was cancelled and look at it now. Having seen all 13 Episodes I believe the stories were excellent and give hope to people with LIFE THREATENING DISEASES.
PLEASE RETHINK YOUR DECISION.
THANK YOU

Pure Genius is a amazing show! It might not be getting the best reviews from some people but that shouldn’t ruin it for the rest of us who want to see what the future of medicine could be or how driven doctors should really be to save lives. We need many more seasons of this show…..it makes you wonder how Purely Genius the human mind is!
This show is such a fun combination of really cool technology and medical drama. There is nothing else like it. Please keep it going!
Please keep Pure Genius on for season 2. I love this show & look forward to watching it each week. It is so different from other programs. We have enough gloom, doom, & sexual content on tv. Pure Genius is a refreshing distraction from all that & I love happy endings! I wish that there really was a Bunker Hill Hospital! Do your ratings include people watching on cbs.com? If not, they should.
I love Pure Genius. It is brilliantly written and extremely interesting. It is also thought provoking. The cast is a perfect ensemble and has chemistry. Do not cancel this great show! So many shows are predictable. This is a unique and fabulous show!
I love this show and am disappointed that it was not continued. It is refreshing! And a refreshing look at medicine as well. I certainly hope that you decide to continue with it next year.
Pure Genius is a heart-warming refreshing medical drama. The character’s dedication to each situation is a welcome change to the same old/same old of so many shows portraying frantic activity. Please keep it going!
Pure Genius is a refreshing heartwarming take on medical shows. It should be renewed for all of us who appreciate its heart and dedication to life!
I agree with Karen. All the good shows get canceled. I believe most ratings are incorrect as people prefer to record shows (so we aren’t subjected to nothing but commercials). We then watch ar our leisure. So I don’t think those statics are being counted. I’m sick of reality shows and slapstick comedies. Pure genious is an engaging, intelligent series. CBS should continue this show.
Wtf ! Every time I start watching a show I love it gets cancelled but you keep all the same old boring shows …Pure Genius is just that Genius ! It’s a fresh new idea not the same old who killed John Doe or ER trauma bs …I love the way this show mixes futuristic technology like they used to do in star trek etc with medical drama and it’s characters are sweet and funny …Not every show has to be filled with gloom and doom ..My daughter and I love this show.please keep it going !
Karen you comment nails it, it is so true Good positive shows get the boot and the crappy, negative, brain numbing shows prevail. I just love the technology and the humanity the show and it’s characters protray.
DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!
I love Pure Genius it is so much better than the mundane medical shows like Chicago Med my very least favorite though I don’t really like the head doctor he should be replaced.
Pure Genius is definitely a program you’d want to keep on the air because of all the possibilities in medicine that is being tested that the population is not aware of. Pure Genius provided the lay community with possibilities in healthcare being shown on othe programs such as Chicago Med with its 3 dementional surgical practice program , medications and lab tests that aid in diagnosing diseases that were onc ignored. I would have liked to see how the writers would have impacted Dementia, Parkinson’s and other genetics mutations.
I watch most of CBS drama shows and look for something to take me away from the realities of daily life. Pure Genius is a show that uplifts us and gives us hope
in a time when we need this the most. Please do not cancel this great and unique show!!!
i love love love this show…its clean its family oriented its interesting, love the characters
