Last season, the Scorpion TV show saw a significant tumble in the ratings but CBS renewed the series anyway. Now, the network is moving the show to a later timeslot (when fewer people are watching television). Could Scorpion be cancelled or, is it sure to be renewed for a third season so there will be enough episodes for syndication? 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 quirky masterminds have found the perfect job: a place where they can apply their exceptional brainpower to solve the nation’s crises, while also helping each other learn how to fit in. The series also stars Robert Patrick, Katharine McPhee, Jadyn Wong, Ari Stidham, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Riley B. Smith.
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.
3/23 update: CBS has renewed Scorpion for a fourth season for 2017-18. Details here.
5/16 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The second season of Scorpion averaged a 1.77 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.64 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
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 still like Scorpion TV series? Do you think there should be a season four?
We all love Scorpion. Even our son at college watches it.
I love that show. Please, don’t cancelled!
please don’t cancelled the show cause i love the show. I even watch all the season 3 times. I would be happy if season 4 is not cancelled out
It’s my favorite show on tv. I love it. I buy it thru amazon so when my grand daughter visits we can watch it together. She can’t stay up til 10pm to watch it
Please do not cancel the show. It’s the best show that does not have violence and or displaying foul language, disrespecting anyone and great story telling. It showcases teamwork, and what our children and society should be viewing instead the nonsense, non moral, stuck up on themselves reality shows. Its good wholesome television, with a bit of love, science and great knowledgeable information that is not shiwn on any other shows.
Love the show!!! Something totally different.
Walter does need to show some more emotions toward Paige.
Who doesn’t love some romance….
I love the show!!! Walter needs to show more emotions though toward Paige!!
Everybody loves a Love story!!!
Yes love scorpion please please keep this show.
Love the show! and yes, make earlier like 8 or 9pm it would definitely get more viewers. Love the case, and their chemistry.
Love This Show, I have watched every episode !!! Please don’t cancel
Awesome show!! The whole cast is amazing. My 9 year old son relates to Ralph in an intellectual way and feels a connection with him. He’s no longer afraid to be himself and let his intelligence be his guide. Toby, happy, Cabe, the whole crew each have their own thing they add to the show. My family and I look forward to Monday night’s. If we miss it, we watch the next night. If it was on earlier, it would be better. Keep the show going!! It’s a rarity to have a show like this with everything in it!
Sweetpea@yahoo Love this show please keep this show want to see Page and Walter together.
Love this program. There has to be a target on my back though. Every time I find something I like, it gets discontinued. My husband & I both loved Pure Genius, it didn’t last. Anyway, I hope this stays on for awhile.
I Want….need…have to watch…..etc….season 4 pleaseeeee
There seems Direct Coralation between late Time Slot & Ratings. Could be a Simple Fix? I’ve also got an New Actress That could be brought in! Nepatisman, Worked For Kennedy! Bianca Lemaire, aka Bebe Dickerson. Just FYI! God Bless You All, Love This Show!
Are you saying the ratings have tanked because the show doesn’t belong in the 10 pm time slot? You may be right. Let’s see if CBS moves it next season. It is starting to head down the tubes(ratings wise) like Madam Secretary.
