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.

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.
Love Pure Genius and really hope the don’t cancel it. Seems like just about every show I get into ends up being cancelled.
We love Pure Genius and really hope the series will be renewed.
Please renew!! Loving this show and waoting for the next one!!
We really enjoyed Pure Genius. Hope it returns.
Show is great:) Please don’t cancel. I watch every episode, I always cry or got choked up because of how touching the episodes are. The actors and actresses of Pure Genius are wonderful:) I wish they were real Doctors, because I would let them help my son with his situation that he has with his health. Love this show:) Thank You:)
Please renew this show!! Love the chemistry of the actors and LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Great show!!!
Please review!! This is a great show!!
please renew Pure Genius, you did not give it enough time for people to see it
It’s a great show. Please don’t cancel it. Needs a second season at least.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!! My daughter who went through a horrible medical ordeal last summer loves this show and every week at her bed side we would watch it together. We were looking forward to it coming back. I know you look at ratings but us as viewers become so invested in these shows and then they are yanked because of numbers. Please gives us back Pure Genius.
Pure Genius is a unique take for a medical drama. I look forward to watching it every week. Please bring it back for another season or two. It was one of my new favorite shows and was so excited for a new season!
Please renew it. It’s much more interesting than NCIS series
Please renew for a Season 2. I love this show!
Why would you cancel this show and keep Big Brother, Big Brother over the top, Survivor, Amazing Race. they are really boring and stupid shows. I mean I understand Julie Chen is married to the big dog. But come on get some or keep some better shows with real actors.
We are disappointed and saddened to see that Pure Genius has not been renewed. It was a great show with a great cast. Please rethink your decision CBS and renew this show.
