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 liked this show what’s wrong with the people that run these shows they need to bring this show and grimm back
I have really enjoyed this series. It’s a shame it’s going to be cancelled. If the network would leave these shows on a little longer, maybe the ratings would go up. One season just doesn’t make sense. Some shows are cut after just a few episodes. This is just plain stupid! But they keep some of the worst sitcom comedies I have ever seen!
I really liked this show. Please bring it back as soon possible.
They need to bring rush hour back. Its a very good show. Dont know why they cancelled it. Seems to me they didnt give it a chance. Bring rush hour back to tv.
Loved Rush Hour, please bring back.
I enjoyed Rush Hour very much – sorry it was cancelled
I don’t think the network gave the show a chance
Would like to have the show back
Think about bringing it back – even only for summer time when all the reruns are on
Give us viewers something to look forward to
Thank you
I liked the show I thought it was great . And it really sucks that it can just be canceled for the reason given. This has been happening to much with a lot of new shows, even some old. Tv is almost not worth paying for any more. I’d rather watch Netflix these days
Why does every good show get cancelled and replaced with a crappy show? Rush Hour was action packed had a good story line and the acting was great. This is why I will quit watching CBS. They just will not give shows a chance. So long!!!
Definitely bummed that this is cancelled. Watched it in the spring and summer and was excited to continue watching it for a second season.
I liked the show. Hires is gonna be on Macgyver now
Am going to miss the show! It was full of action, good scenes with Foo. Had humor and loved the cast!
Going to miss it! Thought it was fresh with humor and good action scenes from Foo.Kennedy was funny! It was a good show!
This Show gave a break from the Real world hustle and bustle, you can sit back relax and enjoy Carter and Lee’s antics, This show is one of the best shows there is out there natural raw talent, doesn’t seem over choreographed, I love that every episode ties in with the next and always bring more fun and excitement to the next. Please if my opinion counts don’t cancel this show.
