Does the first season of the Rise TV show on NBC lift your spirits? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Rise is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all of the Rise season one episodes here.
An NBC high school drama, Rise stars Josh Radnor, Rosie Perez, Auli’i Cravalho, Damon J. Gillespie, Marley Shelton, Rarmian Newton, Ted Sutherland, Amy Forsyth, Casey W. Johnson, Taylor Richardson, Joe Tippett, and Shirley Rumier. The series centers on Lou Mazzuchelli (Radnor), who is the fictional analogue to Lou Volpe in the Michael Sokolov book, Drama High. Although he is committed to his students at Stanton High School, Lou knows he needs to shake things up, in order to rekindle his passion for teaching. To that end, he petitions to direct the school’s theater program, but soon realizes he signed up for a whole lot more than he originally expected. Soon though, the faculty, student body, and even the town residents find themselves caught up in the new spirit at the school.

5/11/18 update: NBC has cancelled Rise so there won’t be a second season. Details here.
I loved this show!! Please don’t cancel it! The “kids” were awesome and deserve a second season. Wish I could have seen them perform the entire show. Saw Spring Awakening on Broadway 3 times…Mazzus production was AS good as Broadway’s!
One of the best Broadway musicals ever. The cast of Rise did an amazing job. I wish I could see them do the whole shoe too.
This show happens to be the very best show on tv. The actors are so believable so real. Life experiences without exaggeration. Very emotional, loving, caring and hope for people who need to be diverse in being a part of today and the future of positivity and unity.
RISE was a great season nbc should renew for a second season
You are crazy for cancelling this show before giving it a full on chance. It has an incredible cast and hits on so many subjects kids and teachers today are dealing with in life! I know a teacher like this his name is Ted Lewis and he has helped to save so many kids through tech and theater and a few adults along the way. This needs to be on where kids can feel they are not alone that there is a way besides bullying and suicide! Please reconsider and give it a chance!!
I absolutely loved this show! I haven’t taken the time to watch any sitcom’s in years and I have fallen in love with this program. It is a reflection of our society and the times now and it’s positive message is amazing! Please don’t cancel this show it is so impactful to your audience!
Do not cancel Rise. Great stories and a fabulous cast!
I absolutely love this show!!!! I never take the time to watch any sitcoms and I have been hooked from the beginning! This show is so revelant to our society in the now and we need it’s uplifting platform. Please keep it
Please don’t take Rise away. One of the best shows ever. Love the story line and actors. Well produced and presented.
I’m bummed I REALLY love this show! Real story lines. And it nice to see the actor from how I met your mother in a serious roll. I think he’s great. Give it another season!
Bring Rise Back, love this show. shows the real world and I never was a fan of Glee
I sure hope this show comes back for another season! I love it! It was a perfect fill in when This is Us took break… How awesome would it be to have 2 amazing drama series together!!!!
I love these characters and the story!
I really hope this gets renewed. Tuesdays are my favorite days now and I don’t want that to end.
This show started out a bit shaky, but it’s really improved throughout the season! I really hope it gets renewed, because of its high fanbase in the teenage group. Likely, because of its low reviews, it will be cancelled, though, and that’s really disappointing. The age group it’s directed at doesn’t have a say in the matter whatsoever.
I love this show i watch it all the time please don’t cancel it please please renew it for 3 more seasons or more cause it’s really a good show
This show is getting better and better. I love all the episodes.
