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.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Rush TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I enjoy watching Rush and I hope it isn’t canceled. I think on time the viewer will increase.
Fantastic show!!! Do not cancel!!!
I like the show and hope it is renewed!!!!
I love Rush. I am 55 have worked in hospitals most of my life and find this show hysterical and absolutely love the medical aspects. Believe me some of those crazy medical issues do happen . Oh the stories I could tel you about the goings on in the medical community. I tune in every Thursday and am even buying the shows from amazon. The cast is right on. Tom Ellis is so wonderful as the brilliant but seriously flawed physician and I believe no one could play this character but him. I have never heard of this man before… Read more »

I’d rather have a root canal than watch this horrible acting!!
based on the ratings, it looks like most people agree with you. so much for this show being one of the new standard bearers for USA.
Why leave such a “horrible” comment? I don’t understand when people go out of their way to be deliberately condescending and insolent. Just turn the channel or at least leave constructive criticism.
My reply is in response to Phyllis’s comment.
I LOVE RUSH!!!!! This show is great! The cast is amazing! Fast paced and fun!!! I look forward to it every week!
Okay, after reading a few comments, I’ll give it another try, instead of casting my “Cancel” vote. I think I started off with a negative attitude just by watching all the previews prior to the first episode that actually was a turn off for me.
This is a fantastic show! It has great twists and turns and the characters are so awesome! This is actually my fave show so far of the season!
Rush is just getting better and better.The Neilson Company is claiming that their ratings are the only “actual” ratings and other outlet ratings are just estimates. It is my opinion that unless every home with a television or other device that is able to view “Rush” had the device that the Neilson Company installs in selected homes to actually know what people are watching, their ratings are also estimates. It would actually be close to impossible to be able to who is watching what unless maybe the Neilson Compny did install one of their devices in every single home. They… Read more »
I’m with you Becky! I’ve never known anyone with a Nielson device or known anyone that knows someone with the device. As far as we know, the Nielson company could be just telling us what they want us to watch or what companies have paid them to rate highly.
this show is a chum in the water waiting for the cancellation shark to put it out of our misery
rush and satisfaction will go hand-in-hand to the big cancellation pile of crud in the sky.
Thanks Chum….I mean Nemo.
When RUSH is renewed for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th season, we’re gonna send Jaws after you Nemo to take a great big bite out of your opinion….
I hope it is renewed for those who like it. I am just saying I don’t and why and as a result, why I believe it will be canceled.
This is a great show. Unique, fast paced and sexy, all at once. It needs promotion, it needs to be given a chance. It will catch on. Terrible when networks cancel a show before it even shows it’s characters, it’s story lines and it’s joy ride..give it a chance.
DON’T CANCEL RUSH! DON’T CANCEL RUSH! DON’T CANCEL RUSH! PLEASE NOT EVER!
Rush is the best show on TV, EVER! Might even be better than my favorite shows NCIS and Sherlock Holmes at PBS. I love, love, love this fast, exciting and fascinating show full of unpredictable story lines. The cast is excellent. P lease give it a chance and do not cancel.
