It’s the end of the road for Rush Hour. According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS has cancelled the series after one season.
Based on the popular film franchise with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, Rush Hour stars Justin Hires as an LAPD detective who teams up with a detective from Hong Kong (Jon Foo). Wendie Malick, Aimee Garcia, and Page Kennedy also star.
Only seven episodes in, Rush Hour has not performed strongly in the ratings. So far, season one has received an average of .92 in the 18-49 demo and around 4.6 million viewers.
Hires confirmed the news on Twitter:
It's my unpleasant task to announce that Rush Hour is not being renewed for a second season.… https://t.co/9myYYDCLtC

What do you think? Have you been watching Rush Hour? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
Bad decision, this show is good, better than the reality tv rubbish out at the moment. think this show was badly recieved partly on the fact that in uk its shown on a friday night, which is not the best time. move it to another night and give it a second shot. let the viewers have time to see that its good.
Damn, I really like this show. It’s funny, diverse, and interesting. Fingers crossed that someone picks it up.
Both my husband & I love this show! Please do not cancel! All our friends could not believe it when we told them it was to be canceled – one of best new shows.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO don’t cancel the show
This is one of the most bland, boring shows I’ve ever watched. The movies were classic. This shiw does it no justice.
My husband and I are shocked that Rush Hour is cancelled. We think it is a very well written and well acted show. Shame on CBS! They really made a bad decision on this one. It was a truly funny show for all ages.
I love this show!! It’s really entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Don’t cancel the show! Give it a chance!!
It should have been renewed, whoever decided to cancel it made a bad decision. Perhaps because they rather put another reality show on which is cheaper than a good series like Rush Hour which has a great cast, funny, great action. Just when I started watching CBS again, they disappointed me.
Cancelling Rush Hour after 1 season is ridiculous. It’s like the networks don’t give a show enough legitimate time to succeed. Seriously, this is a good (funny and serious) show. Put it back on and market it right! Let people know how good it is and give everyone time to tune in. Also, when checking ratings, I hope they take into account TIVO viewers.
From the very first episode I was hoping it would be a long series me and my wife loved this show but looked online today to see other shows cancelled or renewed and see this one was cancelled man I was upset that’s why I hate watching new shows nowadays they rarely last even if they are good
I like the show. It’s just up against other very popular shows. I watch it and see the other show on Hulu. Move it to another time slot rather than cancel it.
I agree with you! I hope it get picked up on Hulu or another network. I really liked watching Rush Hour!
Figures, all the good clean shows get cancelled!
Man this sucks I hate watching new shows that are good and having them get cancelled.
I make it a point to watch every week. Only episode I had to miss was the second because we were switching to cable. When the DVD comes out I’ll be buying it, if CBS decides to give us that. There is a loyal fan base out there for the show; I’m even trying to get people in my group to watch so there are more. Give it another season. (Just look at the comments. Only one hater out of 14 commenters).
I actually like the show. I was hoping to see it for another season. Maybe moving it to another night would’ve helped.
