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 am so disappointed that USA network has not renewed the show Rush. The show was so good and I like it so much more than Satisfaction. I’m really tired of the really good shows getting cancelled. USA network please bring back Dr. Rush..
I’m very disappointed that Rush was canceled, i wish that USA would bring it back am so sad that it’s goone .
Lucifer is trash. Bring back Rush!
I am so disappointed that Rush was canceled, especially with all that was going on in the last episode!
USA could at least given us Rush fans some closure. Bad move!
It’s one of my top series I’m watching why would this happen. If only they continue the season 2 I know for sure the rating’s gonna pick up. Please bring it back
I have been a Trauma Center OR nurse for over 20 years and I loved Rush. I loved Tom Ellis and the rest of the cast, the story line, the crazy medical emergencies he encounters (I’ve seen crazier) and I cannot believe it got cancelled. And banal Satisfaction was renewed. Ridiculous.
I thought it was a great show. I don’t know what to watch, send like any show I like and start to watch gets cancelled.
That’s the truth . And it’s always the good shows that get cancelled, such as the show Gang Related from Fox network…
Should we be surprised that fantasy sex, sci-fi and violence themed viewing trumps over gritty well-played real life drama such as Rush?? Had hoped that USA would allow a little extra time for the show to gather steam with the more discerning demographic. Understand that Tom Ellis (Rush) has been penned for Lucifer coming out in January…….i rest my case.
does not make any sense why they would not bring this show back. it was awesome. tom, (rush) did such a great job with this character…now he is doing lucifer coming out in january…hope it is good because i am saddened they won’t be bringing back rush…what a wonderfully different show
I just knew it was going to be another serious especially with the rift between him and his Dad,,Dads wife lol
Please bring back Rush!!!!! I have been waiting for season 2 to start.
Rush was one of the best – can not believe it was cancelled?
Please bring back Rush! I’ve been waiting for season two!
