What do you think? Are you a fan of the Rush Hour TV series? Are you grateful CBS will air the the remaining episodes of the cancelled show, or are you thinking, “Why bother?” Should Rush Hour have been cancelled or renewed?
I can’t believe CBS cancelled Rush Hour,It’s like the funniest detective series out there.After watching the movies so many times I was so anxious to watch the series,and I also wanted more seasons.It’s a real shocker and disappointment that CBS did this.
My husband and I really liked Rush Hour. We are disappointed it was canceled. I wish the networks would atleast let the shows run for 2 seasons before canceling. Makes me not want to watch anymore shows for fear of them being canceled.
In the infamous words of Florida from Good Times, “Damn, Damn, DAMN!!!!” This was a good show CBS! Ya’ll are getting on my nerves canceling shows!
I can’t believe CBS cancelled Rush Hour! My family and I loved that show. It’s one of the few clean decent shows on tv and now it’s abruptly cut and for what. Smh
I loved the movies and i was getting into the show as well. I liked the show for what it was because it has the same humor the movie had. i was looking forward to many more seasons of this series. I would hate to see it cancelled or gone forever. I think they should renew the series and give it a chance.
I really liked Rush Hour. Am shocked that it has been cancelled. Good show.
Rush hour series is love. I cnt undrstnd why they cancelled it.:\ vry mch hurt
My husband and I loved this action packed fun show. The networks don’t give new shows a fair shot anymore. Try a different time slot or night before it’s cancelled and at least air all the episodes. I am disabled and do watch TV on Saturday night.
Only tune in to watch Jon Foo. CBS should take the chains off, let Jon do what he does best–great stunt work. Would attrack more viewers. Loved his stunt work in Bangkok Revenge. MORE Jon
Watch Rush Hour was a good show the showrunner is the one that should have been cancelled too much of my cousin Gerald rush hour is about Lee and Carter nothing else didn’t you see the movie
Why do they bother doing this? I like both shows but why the hell are they torturing us by bringing them back for the last episode I rather them not show them at all! Cbs is so full of crap, it’s unbelievable! Now we’re going to view the shows ever going to like them those who enjoy watching them and he said it again that the shoulder being canceled again! What I’m hoping is that CBS realizes they screwed up and they will put them on the air for good !
I am disappointed that this series has ended. In today’s society this was one of the few family shows that I enjoyed watching with my 13 year old son that seemed “clean” with minimal foul language no controversial issues, just wholesome comedy/action. We found it somewhat similar to the Hawaii 5-0 series. Sad to see the contract wasn’t renewed.
Why is CBS cancelling another good show. Rush Hour was a good show. You cancelled Mike and Molly . And that was your best sit com out there. It was so funny
Why CBS? It’s really upsetting that you cancelled this show. I thought Rush Hour was fresh and entertaining. You had something good. I’ll rely on ABC and FOX from now on.
Got some good points here and I do understand, but if not just CBS doing this ABC NBC and the other networks are also can’t sleep good shows after a short showing.
RUSH HOUR is a great show! I was excited to see it, every week. I loved the movies,band was hoping someone would come out with a show. CBS is stupid for cancelling it. Netflix should pick it up. I dont understand how CBS and some of these other Networks can get great shows and just cancel them so quickly.
