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.
I found Pure Genius to be the BEST show on TV: Excellent acting, superb script and most encouraging to think such things could happen. Please do NOT cancel this great show.
Please bring season 2. This was the best show I have ever seen. Loved it!!
I have been looking forward to a 2nd season, now I find out it was canceled. This is true disappointment. Please rethink.
This was the best TV series. Just when you get a show that is amazing, one that makes you smile, cry and laugh with no smut, it gets cancelled. Are you kidding me? Get real. Bring our good program back. All the characters were great and love them all. Please, please, one of you networks with some heart bring it back and make it soon.
Agree 100 percent. Wonderful show. Bring it back!
I love this show! Please don’t cancel it!
We love this show, please give us second season
Seems like nowadays if it isn’t a lot of of guns, blood and guts or has Chicago attached to it you can bet it will be cancelled! This show gave hope and showed a billionaire using his wealth in the most genuine ” love of fellow man” way possible. Please bring it back!
Exactly Debbie. You said it and echoed my feelings. No guns, blood, guts? How can it be any good? Alas, the general TV watcher wants more of that than a program like Pure Genius.
I love the show! I don’t understand I’ve been looking for it every week for a while now where is it and don’t cancel it. It’s a really good show maybe you just need to advertise it more or something I don’t understand why I’m not seeing it on TV bring it back and I want to see what happens I like the show its interestIng, intelligent and a show of hope. Bring it back, so when can I expect to see it on TV? There are very few shows at like scorpion, Grey’s Anatomy, big bang and pure genius… Read more »
Keep pure genius!!!! Best show on tv! My whole family thinks so
Not again! I have fallen in love with the team at Bunker Hill and now, just like Red Band Society, Emily MD, and so many more amazing medical dramas that show snippets of so many lives, this too will come to an end with no actual ending. I’m disheartened to see that medical dramas that don’t have people talking trash, having affairs in the on-call rooms or better yet patient beds, or other craziness having nothing to do with patient care are cancelled. Don’t get me wrong I’m a Chicago everything junky and Chicago Med is a great show but… Read more »
Please, please, please CBS renew this favorite show of ours “Pure Genius”. It is one of a few tv series we look forward to watching every week.u
Please renew
Pure Genius is one of the rare prime time series I wait for and watch each week with my son. PLEASE re-market the series with better trailers before taking the final action of cancellation. I agree with the comments about how predictable most other series have become. Be trendsetters and break what has unfortunately become the new norm of TV.
I really love Pure Genius. I hope that this show will continue
I really love Pure Genius, very disappointed when I heard that CBS didn’t order any new episodes. I really wish the would try to re-market it before nixing it completely. If people would just give it a chance, I’m sure there will be many more that would fall in love with it. If not them, maybe another network would pick it up.
