The marital issues of Neil and Grace Truman aren’t over yet. USA Network has renewed their Satisfaction TV show for a second season.
On Satisfaction, a successful married man (Passmore) has his world turned upside down when he discovers that his wife (Stephanie Szostak) of 18 years has hired a professional lover (Blair Redford). Through a series of events, he ends up deciding to try the escort business for himself. Others in the cast include Michelle DeShon and Katherine LaNasa.
The series launched in July to 1.7 million viewers with a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. It was not a great start. The numbers went up and down over the course of the season and the 10 episodes ended up averaging 1.38 million viewers with a 0.4 in the demo.
Most USA shows have been struggling lately and, based on the ratings, could easily have cancelled Satisfaction but they’ve decided to keep it. The cable channel cancelled fellow new series Rush.
What do you think? Do you like the Satisfaction TV series? Will you be watching season two?
This is a great show my husband and I watch it together. Yes we are looking forward to season 2..
I will definitely be watching.
Good Show I Hope It Didn’t End With The Main Actor dying.
So happy that Satisfaction will return. Disappointed in the ratings, but looking forward to it’s return. Rush is a sad story, though. The show has potential. I’m not sure what happened there.
OUTSTANDING NEWS !!! You made my day !! Can’t wait to see who falls in with who in season 2. Will be counting the days.
Reasons why “Satisfaction” was renewed over “Rush”:
“Satisfaction”‘s Live+7 DVR gains are bigger than “Rush”.
“Satisfaction is owned by a sibling studio (Universal Cable Productions (along with Sony)), while “Rush” was produced by an outside studio (Fox 21).
Marriage is a culturally-relevant theme at this moment, and “Satisfaction” is soon to be joined by Showtime’s “The Affair”.
Critical reviews for “Satisfaction” were pore positive than those of “Rush”.
Some of the above reasons are according to Deadline.com.
Glad it’s coming back.
Hope they just speed up the plotting a tad.
Too bad they are stuck with such lame “hook” to have to resolve in the first episode next season.
Glad that Satisfaction has been renewed. However, I wish they’d renewed Rush too.
I really liked the Glades better than Satisfaction. USA should pick up Longmire .
I am also hoping the USA network picks up Longmire. I too miss “The Glades” would have preferred to see that show instead of Satisfaction.
Life in the 21st century!!!
RUSH was a much better show than SATISFACTION: at least it had the courage of its convictions. Satisfaction would have worked if it explored a man trying to save his marriage by becoming a gigolo while his wife was seeing a male prostitute at the same time and how those outside trysts were complicating and yet saving their marriage — or not. Instead it kept wimping out on its core products and became a stupid show.
Core premise
Great, more porn on tv. They should’ve just axed it.
They should have cancelled it, as much as I like Matt Passmore, this is not a very good series, the wife is whiny and half the time they do not know where their child is, and it is not a way to help a marriage by cheating, talking is the only way. The morals on this show is not very good and I think it is just porno would not let my teen age children watch this when they were teen agers. I think USA needs to re-think this one.
Wow, can’t believe they renewed this terrible show. Crap TV has really taken over. I can scratch USA now from my channel lineup once White Collar ends.
Remember Monk, In Plain Sight, Burn Notice, you know when USA was good. now its crap like Rush and Satisfaction.
Yes, I watched all of them you mention. I still watch Monk reruns occasionally since there are no few new shows on that I like and I recorded and kept all of In Plain Sight. As I said the only original show of USA’s I currently watch is White Collar. TNT is sliding downhill fast too.
I was wrong, I thought this would go down the drain. But I guess USA couldn’t cancel everything
