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?
Love this show! Sooooo tired of the networks canceling a series after one season! Especially a summer show! Give it a minute will you? Quit pulling out too soon. It’s like bad sex!
I love this show, it’s funny & dramatic & it’s fast paced. I love Tom Ellis, he’s funny & handsome & he does have real feelings in spite of his drug use. It’s kind of like Ray Donavon, but with medical issues. Please have another season!
I absolutely LOVE Rush!! Please …i hope they don’t cancel it. It’s definetly one of the best shows out now!!
I absolutely love the show and the characters. Rush is a flawed soul but he has a good heart. I hope this show gets renewed for another season. It’s a shame that the only shows that tend to do well these days are chessy, fake reality shows.
We love it and so do all my friends.
Something different.
This show is addicting. I wasn’t sure whether to like it or not after its premiere but the writing gets better and better. The episode tonight (9/11) got more into Will’s character, very interesting – will he straighten up his act or not? Please renew this show for another season!
Love this show. Not just a medical drama. It’s gritty and funny. Great cast.
I like Rush because it is different and not the same ole same ole. The problem I see with the storyline will be more of the same. I loved House until they made him go to rehab. I stopped watching. As with most shows the writers listen to idiot focus groups instead of sticking to a storyline that makes the show work. Take away the crazy drugged Dr. on Rush on and you have a bad show just like House. Not sure I want to invest my time knowing this is what will happen.
Worse TV show I have ever seen. I watched about 20 minutes of the first episode and changed the channel, it was pure garbage. Honestly, if you were very rich would you pay $15,000 cash for a doctor to treat you for a possibly severe illness or injury knowing that doctor was high on cocaine and/or miscellaneous other drugs. Hopefully nobody is that stupid.
CANCEL IT!!
Your $15.000.00 . senario never happened and I have seen every minute of every show. Also you would know that when some one did have a serious illness Rush ws able to convince the guy to go for treatment. No one in the guys family could convince him to see a doctor. If that patient would have been my loved one I would pay 15,000 bucks
and be thinking that was money well spent. I think you may have missed some key information since you only watched 20 minutes.
Agree! How can you possibly judge a show after watching only 20 min. This is the best new show USA has had in a long time!! 2nd. Season, PLEASE!!
So based on your opinion, instead of just turning it off, which is your choice, you want to cancel it. This is a fictional drama/comedy. I guess you have never watched Dexter either, you probably would completely freak out. And honestly, the “rich” made up characters are paying through the nose because they don’t want the sleazy paparazzi to find out or social media.
Love love love the show
So do my friends
Please renew it please please please…..
I love this show. I was afraid to get hooked on Rush because so many things I like are getting cancelled. I have found myself getting more and more hooked each week. Tom Ellis is a phenomenal actor. I read that he wanted to take this flawed person that does despicable things and make people see the redeeming qualities. Mission accomplished. I cheered when Rush went after the abusive baseball player for beating his girlfriend. It broke my heart when he apologized to Sarah over the phone for leaving her alone. I felt his pain when he realized that his… Read more »
Please oh please renew Rush and Satisfaction!! My summer time guilty pleasures!! Oh and the main character are nice to look at too!!
looks like people would rather watch football than rush
This show is not for the straight-laced person. So maybe why the few negative comments. I love this show because it’s a bit crude and more realistic than your typical doc show with the typical story lines. It’s edgy, and Tom Ellis is awesome in his portrayal of a flawed bachelor doc with some bad boy tendencies (smokes pot, does drugs). I really hope it gets renewed cuz there is no other adult only show like it!
“It’s edgy”
in other word full of cussing and other smutty, ****** and gutter dialogue as well as sex drugs and rock n roll lifestyle type situations.
I get it, you watch it because you love that kind of smutty talk!
The amazing thing about a television – it has a channel up/down and a power off bugton. If you don’t like Rush, try Matlock.
Now that’s funny, swhall!!
Hello Nemo 🙂 We meet aaagain…. Swimming around in the tank of righteousness seeking whom you can devour??
I’m sorry. I should have said the tank of “self-righteousness.”……
I am not being self righteous. I am voicing my opinion why I don’t watch this show.
why is it ok to love this show because of all the smut, drugs and cussing trying to pass itself off as good writing but not ok to think it isn’t emmy worthy?
also, if this show is so great why are the ratings circling the drain? seems more people agree with me than with you.
Nemo, with due respect…these ratings do not reflect my opinion nor do they reflect the opinion of thousands of others who love this show. I’m not sure which populace has been polled, but it certainly hasn’t included me, therefore, I find the numbers and their relevance insignificant. This show is definitely not for everyone, but which program is? Look at all the distasteful comedies and reality tv today. Do you complain as loud about those? I watched one the other night on a major network that was filthy. I simply turned the channel to something more palatable. Rush has humor,… Read more »
Star trek was cancelled John Doe was cancelled shows are cancelled because of sales no money no show and after 60 yrs of TV watching I would say the shows that are cancelled often are to quick to sharp and to deep for an uneducated America…did u go to public school? unless u did a lot of study on the side by definition u are uneducated these shows always get cancelled because the masses are asses!
according to these ratings i would say it will be cancelled maybe ur just not jaded enough like me where sex and drugs and r&r tend to numb u to certain debauchery and it seems normal…it’s not.
Very good show! Fast paced and riveting, and the main character, Tom Ellis, is EXCELLENT.
It has all the tried and true ingredients: glamour, a good / bad boy main character who is a tortured genius, medical intrigue, gangsters, comedy, unforseen twists, yet with a new shiny spin on everything. I love the show and hope it continues.
Love this show!! Keep it on!!!
