CBS had been filling the Mondays at 9pm timeslot with sitcoms for years and years. Now, they’re trying a new drama — Scorpion. Will this change be a ratings success? Will the show be renewed for a second season? Will it be cancelled? Stay tuned.
Based on real-life events, Scorpion revolves around computer expert Walter O’Brien (Elyes Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits. They’re this country’s last line of defense against complex, high-tech threats. The series also stars Katharine McPhee, Robert Patrick, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Jadyn Wong, and Ari Stidham.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
1/12 update: Scorpion and two other shows have been renewed for a second season by CBS.
Final season averages: 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.96 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Scorpion TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Don’t like this show, the actors are not convicing too me at all and very slow at time, it doesn’t look real to me at all!!!
Like the show very much. Do not like the continuous background music!
Great Show!!!! I hope CBS gives it a fair shot to catch on.
End scorpion just like the title of the show.
Absolutely love the show can watch it with my children love it love it love it!!!!
LOVE this show……hope they DO NOT cancel!!!
Thought the pilot was over the top fun but I’ve preferred the following episodes as I get to know this quirky team. They’ve got high like ability and I like what I am seeing develop. I’ve never seen people be so “all in” or bashing a show —quite like this. It’s entertaining people …. and a window into high functioning people with low EQ’s. I love their imperfections and getting their back stories is cool too. I am in.
You said it perfectly! I love every episode more than the last, I’m in also!
Scorpion has been a great show it needs a chance to catch on. It will like wild fire. Reminds me of when 90210 started and they were going to cancel. CBS needs to wedge it into a slot of popular shows. They’re very little commercials that I’ve seen. Only stumbled across it because I can’t fast forward on demand.it caught my eye! Even the eyes of my tech husband and even more techy 23 year old! I’m a nurse and lived Kathryn how she normalized the genius’s .it’s even not too sexually racy , great suspense! And definitely hits thus… Read more »
love this show. hope the ratings and the no will keep up
CANNOT STAND THE SHOW…..KATHERINE MCPHEE NEEDS ACTING LESSONS…WHY IS SHE ON IT? I PREFERRED HER IN SMASH…..I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SHOW…REALLY….WOW….PLEASE CANCEL IT!!!
Totally disagree. Kat Mcphee is the real deal
I disagree totally, Kat McPhee is great.
Yup, McPhee is a keeper, she grounds the show. I was glad to see her get more “hands on” in this last episode!
Renewed! Look forward to it every week!
I can’t believe it. My wife and teenage son watch this show with me. My wife watches (almost) ZERO tv and my son can hardly be pried away from his game console to eat dinner. And my viewing is mostly Blacklist and football, with a spattering of other shows here and there. so I guess this show is an oddity.
Oh wow! Writing is fantastic! My favorite new show! Love it!
Show was ok, but didn’t have a hook that made me wanting to come back for more. So I won’t unless I am totally bored Monday night.
I totally disagree! The characters are deep and I can see a lot of great story lines based on all of these characters. Can’t a show stand on its merit with great writing without having a “hook” to bring viewers back. A lot like criminal minds does…a long running well written show! I think shows with great writing rather than having a “hook” do better. Many shows lose their audience once the hook is revealed like what happened to “The Mentalist”. But I appreciate your view point.
Love it. I have read some of the reviews,while I may not agree with everything said, I am willing to continue watching something new, different, out of the normal and maybe just a bit of fun for a change
