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?
Scorpion is the only show I watch on TV im in love with it…. This show actually kinda got me watching CBS I think you should keep it… Its the best show ever… every episode is better than the next its amazing Please keep it
Some people think this a documentary, Although it is based on a persons life, it is a tv show . There are enough silly sitcoms . I hope you will leave it on!
Love this show! Intelligent with a hint of romance and action packed. Who could ask for more!
I really do enjoy this show a lot! Don’t take it away. It needs time to be scene. I went back to find first few episodes, and I’m hooked. I love good shows with intelligence and really good thinking, acting, directing, photography, etc. in them, and this is a great show. Let it be. I’m glad it’s got another season, but I’ll wager it will end up being on a much longer run. It started here at least a bit late, and the holidays messed things up I’m sure. Walter is THE highlight and delight. I’m wondering how it’s based… Read more »
They almost lost me with the first episode, but it has improved rapidly since then.
I love the show Scorpion. It not only leads you into a suspenseful drama each time it airs, but keeps you in your seat the entire hour it is on. The plot line of the kid with the same having the same intellectual mind as the others keeps you wanting to watch more episodes. I look forward to watching it each week as well as the rest of my family. We watch TV together at night and this is one of my favorite shows. I hate reality shows and love action and suspense. And this show has it all. Please… Read more »
I love the show, I look forward to watching it every week. finally something real and intelligent on tv. I hate stupid comedy. Keep it and renew it for another season.
Do not like the show…..cancel it
Awww, spoiler! How many episodes did you watch? And it’s based on real life except I’m sure he doesn’t die and come back all the time, but now I want to research more. This is a very good show. I like things like this along with Criminal Minds, Law & Order: Criminal Intent (wish it was still running), Forever (ABC), and any really well done drama, crime show, romance mixed in, Blue Bloods (still running new), etc. I have to have stuff that looks real to me, has really good actors for the most part such as leading ones, good… Read more »
Scorpion is one of our favorite shows. It strikes a nice balance between serious and light. Not as intense as say NCIS or similar cop shows, yet still has a meaningful storyline and keeps you engaged, and the characters are ones you care about. Episode 13 featured Ralph, the kid. We’d like to see more of how he develops in his new environment with people that understand his genius.
Really? This show is flawed, every single episode is worse than the last. If you have no grasp of technology it might be entertaining, however those of us with a miniscule amount of knowledge about how the world works can point out glaring flaws in every single episode.
#CancelScorpion
as you say it is flawed and has things wrong with it… but it is also a T.V. show for people to come home from working a long day or a kid from finishing his four hours of homework… it is nice to sit back and watch something that might not be absolutely true but still have fun watching it and relaxing before bed.
NO. Some of us want it. You can watch something else. And I’m NOT stupid so don’t tell me that’s why you don’t like it (you are THAT bright????) and I really am enjoying it. Give it a chance.
Seriously? This is a great show for me and my 11 year old son to watch together. Canceling this show will just be another let down. Maybe, Monday Night Football interfered with the ratings? Give it till the end of the season before making a final decision. McPhee could use a bigger part. I think with more lines and being more involved with each scene could be a major factor, too. Some scenes are a bit cheesy and unbelievable e.g. driving 200mph under a plane at an airport? Pretty hard to believe that any runway is that long. That scene… Read more »
My entire family truly enjoys this show and is one of about only three shows we watch these days! I love that we can watch this with our daughter! Scorpion is so brilliantly written, with fantastic acting. We all really want to see this show renewed!
“brilliantly written”? This show has reality problems in every single episode. This show about extremely smart people, however whoever wrote the scripts is a complete moron. Every episode has glaring problems, this weeks glaring problem: They all go to a “comicon” type of venue and immediately hand over their wallets to their FBI handler because they fear that people might have handheld scanners that can read the magnetic strips on their credit cards. There is NO such device that can read magnetic strips from afar. If their cards had RFID that could be possible but you’d think the smartest minds… Read more »
