After scheduling sitcoms on Mondays at 9pm for decades, CBS execs decided to try tech drama Scorpion in that timeslot last season. Despite lots of negative reviews, it became the network’s third-highest rated show in the demo. Will it continue to do well? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a third season? 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 Robert Patrick, Katharine McPhee, Jadyn Wong, Ari Stidham and Eddie Kaye Thomas.
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.
3/25 update: CBS has renewed this series and 10 others for the 2016-17 season. Details here.
4/26 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
For comparisons: The first season of Scorpion averaged a 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.96 million total viewers.
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 third season?
please get rid of this show once and for all, it’s making people around the world more stupid and is a giant waste of time, money and actors
RENEW!
DO NOT bring back the character Tim. We will not watch show if he stays. Bad addition
While the show uses a predictable formulaic approach, it is like Monday night chocolate cake without the calories – a true delight. I enjoy it every single week. It is on my “don’t miss” list. The network should consider not only the core demo it reaches but also the sub-demo – the values-oriented consumer who is highly desirable and approachable by the right advertisers. I predict Scorpion will survive for many years to come. My requested script: a time travel two-part episode featuring Katherine McPhee doing 40s numbers. It would be fun!
Scorpion is arguably one of the very best family shows in the market today. We never miss it, re-watch on-demand and follow it. May decide to boycott network if not renewed and advertisers as well. Think twice…
My Mom and I love this show and there has been enough great shows cancelled thru the years please do not get rid of this show bout please get them two to fall in love already, thank you
Please cancel this show already! There are so many good shows that get dropped and yet crappy ones like Scorpion stay on the air. The acting is horrendous.
If they cancel Scorpion it doesn’t mean that old shows will comming back again so shut it!! If you don’t like the show don’t watch it, is very simple. Please don’t go arround throwing ****. Thank you. The ones who really like this show will apreciate.

I love Scorpion! I am an MIT alumna and Scorpion speaks to me! The show is clever, imaginative, and inspiring. The characters are realistic and likable. It’s a great show!
Please renew!!
Please renew Scorpion…it’s my favorite TV show. I look forward to it every Monday!
CBS finally gives us a great show & there is talk if cancellation? Please don’t take this hour of enjoyable viewing and leave us scrambling for something else when trash like Super Girl & Limitless come on
Great show, please don’t cancel.I look forward to watching every Monday.
Love this show!
My husband and I never miss this show…we can’t wait for each new episode. We always record it, so I hope that doesn’t negate the fact that we are HUGE fans and have turned many others onto this show…they probably record it too. Please tell us this show isn’t ending. ..it makes our Mondays complete.
My husband and I found this series at the end if season last fall and fell in love with it. We spent the winter months watching the repeats to catch up with the show. I would hate to see ut go away.
