Season One Ratings

Telly’s Take
Sun Records got off to a mediocre start and the ratings dropped quite a bit after that. CMT has very few scripted series and this one attracted about half as many viewers as the first half of season five of Nashville. Sun Records could easily be cancelled.
5/5 Update: CMT has confirmed there will be no season two of Sun Records. Details here.
6/5 Update: The producers are shopping Sun Records, season two, to other outlets. Details here.

Would love to see Sun Records continue!
Please bring back Sun Records, it was outstanding!! A big old 72 yr old female loved the show and Nashville too!!!!!!!
Loved Sun Records! Bring back season 2! Drake Milligan is great as Elvis and all the actors were great! It didn’t get enough publicity and very few people knew it was on. Seems like every time I like a show, it’s cancelled!
Please renew it I love the show and the characters
I think they should try airing this show on Netflix I’m very saddened this has ended and hope they find something
This was a fantastic series. We looked forward to watching it. It was refreshing break from all the reality junk that is now on tv.
What a shame this was one of my favorite series. Brought back a lot of memories not to mention great music. Hope you change your minds.
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW I HOME IT COMES BACK ONE I LOVE IT LOVE THE MUSIC THE HISTORY ITS AMAZING SHOW
My favorite show of last year and it did need more promotion, if they even promoted at all.
TV Networks need to rethink how they determine which fledgling series live or die. The Elvis money train is still rolling along, propelled by a nostalgia for that era in history. The concept cannot miss yet somehow, in this instance, it is subjected to conventional thinking without a hint of foresight. Renew!
I think the show was great and should be renewed
I was a huge fan of the show and would like to see more of it; for we all know what happened to all these individuals but it’s more interesting to see how their lives were played out in dramatic form. So guys and girls bring it back for another season, I’d appreciated it!
Hope Sun Records is picked up by someone, love the show!
I looked forward to this show each week, really hoping there will be a 2nd season plus more. Love the cast of Sun Records. Please come back:(
The Sun Records series tells an important part of music history. Season 1 was very well done. As a former Memphian who grew up 2 miles from Elvis’ mansion, I would love to see more. I’m sure I’m not the only one!
