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?
We love rush hour we always looking forward for this program. Please bring back rush hour. Thank you.
It was nice to see a series that you could sit down as a family and enjoy Rush Hour. I really wish you would reconsider, and bring it back. There are too many reality shows on that need to stop. Bring back Rush Hour…PLEASE!?
I really enjoyed the tv show. It is a real mistake canceling the show. It plays better than Rush hour 2 and 3. Please bring it back!!!!!!
Rush Hour is a dope show!!! I was very disappointed when I heard that CBS was taking it off the air!!! Very Bad Move!!!
Do hope they reconsider taking off Rush Hour, great entertainment and love the whole cast. Would be nice if another network picked it up, please think twice.
Great show… hopefully they reconsider another season.
Great plots, funny cast.
We love Rush Hour , we do not understand why it is being canceled. It is funny and entertaining .
I’m disappointed that CBS canceled Rush Hour. We truly enjoyed the comedy and action in this show. We also felt that it was a hit. The cast and writers gave such a fun fast paced performance. I hope CBS reconsiders its cancellation.
Finally a new program that we liked.
We all LOVE this show…..it just gets better and better and CBS just gets more and more stupid cancelling it before even giving it a chance to catch on with more people. Ever hear of word-of-mouth CBS? Hope someone else picks it up…..plenty of cable networks!!!!!
Love this show. Love the characters. Love the cousin. The plots are good. It stands alone with no need to compare to the movie version of the same name.
Well what a damn shame. I really liked the show. It was based off the movie and made it its own. It was good. I loved the actor who played Lee, Carter and the crazy cousin. Another good show dropped before the first season actually ends. What a shame. maybe you should listen to the fans and not cancel it. You canceled Rush Hour but un-cancelled Code Black? Wow who do you have making decisions? You should fire the idiot who made that call! Bring back Rush Hour or let a better network pick it up. The show was too… Read more »
So good show have everything comedy action and they cancelled but still renew big brother is suck stupid show still renew but good show are cancelled like leverage get cancelled too
I really enjoy the show! Please reconsider for a second season!
I’m pretty sure CBS is studying NBC in efforts to take over 4th place among the networks. Really enjoyed the show.
This is a great show it is very entertaining and funny my wife a I look forward to watching it each week. The chemistry between the characters is great. Please reconsider the shoe
