USA has done very well with Royal Pains, a show about a private doctor who treats the wealthy. Now, the cable channel is trying a different twist with Rush. Will this series be a success and run for many seasons as well or, will it be cancelled after one short year? Stay tuned to find out.
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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
10/2 update: USA has cancelled Rush after one season of 10 episodes.
Final season averages: 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.65 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Rush TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Big Burn Notice fan, but this show is just as good IMO. This show has a lot potential, and I for one would like to see where it goes.
Love! Love! Love!!!! This is show is edgy and different. Love the cast and Love!!! Love!!!
Tom Ellis – Do Not Cancel!!!
I can’t believe the numbers dropped so dramatically in one week (8/14) . Who exactly are they polling? Everyone I know loves this show. Gosh I hope the don’t cancel it. I really like the show and look forward to it every week.
1.Camera angle-10 pacing-10 storyline-10 acting-10 THERE IT IS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I PRONOUNCE RUSH THE BEST SHOW OF IT’S KIND “EVER”! Which probably means it’s gets cancelled this yr..Hope I’m wrong..I find myself on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode…THIS SHOW IS THE BOMB 🙂
Rush is actually the best show I have seen on TV and at 62 years old I’ve seen a hell of a lot of TV. As far as the cast goes…….perfection!
and at 52, I completely disagree
What types have been your favorite television shows? I am not trying to be snotty or anything just curious to know if there might be have anything in common that has been watched and liked on TV. Would you mind saying what you do not like about it…again not trying to be rude.

I love this show. It’s like Royal Pain meets House. Please renew
I think that it is a great series. Good story line and very good actors.
please don’t cancel the series.
true!! And Tom Ellis is SOOO HOT
I love this show so I hope it continues, being cable I say take it up a notch! Keep it goin!
My boyfriend and I really like this show and hope it doesn’t get cancelled. It reminds me of Nip/Tuck in a way, which was a show I really loved. I think Tom Ellis, and all the actors on the show, do a great job. I wish they would market this harder on BRAVO. I think all the folks that watch the Housewives Series would enjoy it.
I watched the first three episodes tonight. I didn’t mean to let them go this long but life got in the way of TV watching (!). I won’t say it is the best show on television or the best show I’ve ever seen. I will say that it is good enough and engaging enough to make me want to go back again for episode four and even look forward to it. I personally have no problem with characters who are seriously flawed like Rush is here. Granted, his bad habits are habits that I myself would never be guilty of… Read more »
royal pains: the west coast ******* edition is the best way I can describe this show.
ahh, so you liked it! I think that’s great.
not even close, watched about 20 to 30 minutes and turned it off.
Love this show!! Congrats to USA. Love it ALMOST as much as Royal Pains.
I missed the first show, tuned in to the second and tried to get through the first half hour. I couldn’t do it. It was a lot like Rake, where the protagonist does too much damage to himself when he is not working. I like my good guys to be better people than that, more like the people I hang out with in real life. They don’t do drugs (that I know of), gamble or drink profusely (again, that I know of). In other words, I just don’t want to see that on my TV screen on purpose, it’s just… Read more »
I agree. It’s not entertainment to me.
I agree, just don’t like this show at all for the same reasons you gave.
Like this show! Very edgy and unique storyline. Will continue to watch! Hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
I’m enjoying the show so far. I like the fast pace and the different situations presented on the show. The characters are interesting and I like the way the individual stories are wrapped up at thee end of the hour. Please don’t make it overly complicated because we want entertainment, not the Bible. I am seriously tired of Royal Pains
and some of us don’t want non-stop gutter crawling either trying to mascarade as supposed entertainment
I’m really starting to get into the show. I like it a lot, and hope the vieworship goes up so it can be renewed.
