The doctor is out. USA Network has decided to cancel their Rush TV show after one season of 10 episodes.
Rush revolves around a talented and handsome physician (Tom Ellis) who had it all — but then lost it in one fateful night. Six years later, he’s a private doctor who treats less-than-squeaky-clean clientele in Los Angeles. The rest of the cast includes Harry Hamlin, Larenz Tate, Odette Annable, and Sarah Habel.
Debuting mid-July, the first episode of Rush attracted 1.7 million viewers with a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Not a very good start. The numbers for later episodes went up and down and the season averaged 1.65 million with a 0.4 in the demo.
Satisfaction, another new drama, had very similar ratings and either show could have been cancelled or renewed. USA ultimately chose to drop Rush and renew Satisfaction. The defacto series finale aired on September 18th.
What do you think? Did you like Rush? Would you have watched a second season?
I never heard of RUSH in 2014 because it wasn’t marketed much by the network, but decided to buy it on youtube after seeing how great Tom Ellis performances were in Lucifer, Merlin, and in BBC’s Miranda. I loved the story lines, and it’s a shame that FOX cancelled it at the end of the 10 episodes. Too bad that Netflix didn’t pick it up for streaming as they did with Lucifer. I would have loved to see what happened in Season 2…3…and beyond. Kudos to the theme music, too.
je viens d’achever la saison 1 de rush avec Tom Ellis honnêtement j’ai adoré et j’aimerais bien revoir une autre saison de ce beau concept
Just bought Season 1 of Rush with Tom Ellis, other than some accent problems (which I’m sure a good coach could work out) I loved it. I didn’t hear of the show in 2014 and that is the networks problem. USA missed out on what could have been a hit. Just look at what Netflix did with “Lucifer.”
I am very disappointed with cancellation of rush i lovede the series and tom Ellis
