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?
Rush is a very well written show,with more than one story line going on. Not just handsome Doctor but a cast of caracters with life worth following. USA has made a big mistake not giving Rush more than 10 weeks to find a following most people did not hear about it.
Too good to cancel. Bring it back RIGHT NOW!! Please…
Rush is definitely a keeper. Season one’s low ratings maybe due to viewers’ misconception that it’s just another medical drama. Yes, currently there are too many of those being shown. For those who have skipped Rush, watch it! The unorthodox, quick-thinking and witty Dr. Will Rush will certainly entertain you. Like so many of us have vouched, Rush is so much better than Royal Pains! So, USA, give Rush a second season! It will come out to be a winner!
Keep RUSH. It’s better show than Royal Pains. Give it another season. You have a real winner with RUSH.
I completely agree with the “bring back RUSH” comments. Can we possibly leave RUSH not knowing whether he will be arrested or not? He is a good guy with some issues. Let’s see how he evolves (or not) in a new season! Plus he is so incredibly cute…….
Puzzled. ONLY new show I am watching. What is wrong at USA?!?!?!?
So disappointed!!!!! Truly wish you would reconsider USA. Your decision to cancel RUSH has negatively impacted my tv viewing experience, and I KNOW I speak for many. You make me sad.
Please bring back Dr. Rush to continue his practice for a Second Season! Simply love watching the brilliant doctor at work! By the way, Tom Ellis is the perfect cast as Dr. Will Rush! Couldn’t find a better actor to play the role!
Please, please DO NOT CANCEL RUSH! Already a fan after the first episode and we are on the sixth episode now in Asia. Rush is refreshingly witty and fast paced. There is never a boring moment in each episode. The critics are so wrong when they said that Rush is a “bland medical drama with an overly familiar concept”! It is nothing like Royal Pains! So, from a fan in Asia, we are hoping and eagerly waiting for a Second Season of Rush! Or even a Third Season!
really? the best show we have watched in the last ten years and it gets cancelled! thats just plain stupid!
Please do not cancel. WE have been in need of a Really hot Bad Boy and Rush is it! The story stays fresh and it intriguing and gutsy just how low the writers will have Rush go. I mean when he slept with his Dad’s wife.my jaw dropped I was hooked and quite jealous of her.. While at the same time having the real compassion of a doctor. It is refreshingly captivating. please keep it. Tv is just too boring with way too many reality shows. I mean. lets get real I can’t beleive the Kardashians are still on. and… Read more »
