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?
Guess what USA?? 18 years olds do not have the money the advertisers are looking for. Their parents and grandparents do. Just becasue the over 49 group liked it best does not mean it is a loser. I am over 55 and I have the money to spend on those products. So do my friends
Get a clue about what your cadencies enjoy. .
My friends and I loved this show, So fun to watch , entertaining. Why would they cancel this great show??? Because it was good, that’s why. Dumb move.
People had not had a chance to find it and how good it is. My friends who had watched it really do like it. I love it!!!!!
excellent show, why did they cancel it
We should ban USA. I loves RUSH!!!
Great show with excellent lead! So what do they do yup get rid of it. My wife had a crush on Rush and hey I don’t blame her! Fox should pick up the show if they are smart? They have a older audience that have some smarts. 18 to 49 group don’t have a CLUE!
I lived Rush!! I’m so bummed out….
Loved the show! Hate it that it was cancelled.
Can’t believe they cancelled this show! It was far better then satisfaction!
Rush was an awesome series. Unique, different, eclectic, intriguing. It was my “must watch”, always recorded, weekly show. Please bring it back. The ratings really don’t reflect the creativity and talent.
Omg. I want season 2. I love Rush, I need Rush. I would watch all the new episodes and now it’s gone?! Can’t believe it. It’s so interesting and entertaining. I want Rush back!
I really wish this were not true. “Rush” has that slick, entertaining factor that isn’t on tv elsewhere. Ellis is an amazing leading man, and the supporting cast has interesting plots. I really wish USA would not sacrifice the equally rated, yet more “costly produced show,” to keep “Satsifaction,” which I watched all season and was a snoozefest. For its subject matter, I’ll just watch Showtime’s “The Affair.” “Rush” can’t be compared to any other. When people tried to draw connections with “Ray Donovan,” they failed, as that show runs so much more dark. It’s fantastic, itself, but they are… Read more »

Loved the show, want to see what happens , plus my niece was in it. Please bring it back.
