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?
This was a great show, why cancel??
They’re not listening to the fans as usual.
Tom Ellis amazing!!
I can’t believe they cancelled Rush. What a mistake. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring it back.
Bring back Rush!
If you have to cancel a doctor show, cancel Royal Pains. Rush has feelings. He gets mad he’s happy. He shows emotion. Hank is void of any of those feelings, not to mention the lack of chemistry between Hank and his brother. USA definitely got it wrong this time.
What the hell is wrong with you people???
A refreshing different show and you gave it ten weeks. I told friends how much I enjoyed the show and they’re all waiting for it.Have you seen some of the slop you run for years?
Get your head on straight and please give it one more chance.
Please bring back Rush!!!!! You need to give it one more year. Satisfaction makes me sick and it should be cancelled…..KEEP RUSH AND GIVE IT ONE MORE YEAR BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION.
One of the best “new” shows! USA got it wrong. Aren’t they supposed to go against the consensus?? Please don’t succumb to the boring network low standards. I am grossly disappointed.
Agree with all those above who want RUSH renewed STAT! Great show with great, great potential! Don’t let RUSH be an orphan. Bring him back USA!!
I can’t believe they chose to cancel this very refreshing series. The casting/acting was great. The story line so very interesting and a wonderful change to many of the current medical programs. I hope they will reconsider cancellling Rush and bring it back next season.
USA, the people that run your network need to remove their heads from their asses!!! They do an awful job of show promotion and truly one season is NOT enough time to settle in and find an audience… let’s keep a million Law and Order re-runs on the air and not develop any quality new shows!! Then you wonder why people flip right past your sad network… NO substance
Well said ..Ms. Otis! I agree with you 100% .
B.B.
No I dont think they should have canceled Rush. the biggest prob is they dont play the programs long enough for people to find them cuz like me I only recently found it and love it now i am stuck with a cliff hanger and thats it all cuz once again another great show is GONE. im so sick if all the stupud shows that are getting renewed while really great ones are canceled. and its literally because they ar not given the time. 10 episodes WTF….it was summer…and this show is much better than Royal Pains which was good… Read more »
WHY WHY WHY Would you cancel this show!?!?!:!? It was one of THE BEST shows I have ever seen. Not to mention the show was left WIDE OPEN. HOW could you do this. I hate you forever.
RENEW this show! It’s a great take on the Hippocratic Oath. A doctor who wants to do good, but circumstances are a challenge for him.
Love this show !!!!!!
Not exactly an ethical or moral doctor and more like a soap but still different and interesting show..bring it back!!
Loved, Loved, Loved the show Rush. So disappointed that it was cancelled. Please bring it back!!!
Tom Ellis was GREAT…. This show was so different and Exciting…. Not your regular “run of the mill” doctor/medical show…. I set my recorder so that I would not miss an episode. It is very disappointing to hear that it will be cancelled….
Do whatever can be done… to BRING IT BACK…..
Whoever made the decision to Cancel….. made a BIG MISTAKE…..
