There’s been no shortage of TV shows about doctors who have lots of problems. Some are ratings hits while others are cancelled after only one season. How’s Rush on USA Network been doing? Will it get a second season?
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.
Launching in mid-July, the first episode of Rush attracted 1.7 million viewers with a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. It wasn’t an impressive start for a scripted show on USA.
For the episodes that followed, the numbers have bounced all around — up and down like a ping-pong ball. Last week’s installment hit series highs while the previous week hit new series lows. It’s difficult to explain but, when the ratings get this low, it doesn’t take many Nielsen viewers to watch or not watch a show to cause a dramatic shift in the ratings. Still, it is unusual.
Like Satisfaction, Rush has very poor ratings — even when compared to the rest of USA’s ailing scripted series. It seems very likely that USA will cancel Rush but, given the cable channel’s current situation, it could easily go either way.
But, what do you think? Do you like the RushTV show on USA? If you ran the network, would you cancel or renew it for a second season?
10/2 update: USA has cancelled Rush after one season of 10 episodes.
Keep Rush. It’s the best show on Television besides Sons of anarchy and then the old BREAKING BAD! Season 2 better come. Or we will come and get you. USA sucks. It should be on a better channel . Cancel that weak wussy doctor show THAT IS IN THE HAMPTONS. That’s fake a$$ life. RUSH DOES WHAT REAL DOCTORS DO. 89% of Doctors get high. Simply cause they never get tested!
Bring it back. I see it going to season 6-8 !!!!
USA should renew Rush. Would really like to see
outcome of his actions. DON’T CANCEL!!!!
Rush is a very interesting show that i can watch and can’t wait a week to see what’s going to happen on the next episode
My hubby and I absolutely love this show. I changed my work schedule around so I could be home in time to watch it. If this show gets cancelled I will be heartbroken. Please please please don’t cancel this show. I hope it can continue for a good while. Major props to everyone contributed to making it. We give it 4 thumbs way up!!!”
Omg plz plz another season you cant jus make things end the way it did and never show whats next .plz another season…
I like Rush and Satisfaction! Keep both!!
OK, so now JP is Dead again, Will he stay dead this time? Rush is in Trouble, Trouble, Trouble, How does he get out of this one ??? Where their’s a Rush, there’s a way HAHAHAHAHA !!! Are the writers stumped, trying to find a way to wiggle out of this one?? Only Season 2 can tell.
This is what they did in “Hell on Wheels” on AMC. They let us think that Elam was killed by a bear, but then we found out that he was alive, only to get killed by his best friend in the next episode.
DO NOT CANCLE RUSH!!!! This show is great! The ratings will pick up once word gets out. The final episode was awesome. I will be very upset if that’s the last one. If brutal shows like that disgusting family show called honey boo boo can last more than 30 seconds on TV than there has to be another season of RUSH! People who work at the network please do not make the mistake of canceling this show. It would be a GIANT mistake!! I never take the time to post anything but I hope ppl will see this and post… Read more »
I love this show! I would be disappointed in the Network if
they cancel Rush. Cancel satisfaction. Never had an interest
in the whole affair mess. Bring Rush back.
Love Rush please don’t take it away!!!
KEEP —- Renew the show!!!!!
I love this show and hope it is not cancelled.
We LOVED Rush! You can’t end it on a cliffhanger like that and not renew it! If USA drops this, I will never get invested in a TV series again. It’s just not worth it. Good actors, good writing, good plot. Oh, yeah, let’s drop really good television and keep the crap.
KEEP IT!!! I love both Rush and Satisfaction!
Rush is simply the best tv show ever! It’s the only reason I watch tv. Every Thursday I cancel everything and watch it. I give this show 10 stars.
Please dont cancel im in love i will never miss a episode as long as its on
