If you’ve been looking forward to watching The Code TV show on CBS this Monday night, you’re going to be disappointed. The network has pulled the drama series from the schedule. Will it back? Has it been cancelled?
A military legal drama, The Code stars Luke Mitchell, Anna Wood, Ato Essandoh, Phillipa Soo, Dana Delany, and Raffi Barsoumian. The story unfolds at the Judge Advocate General Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia and centers on the prosecutors, defense lawyers, and investigators who work on the legal challenges facing the U.S. Marine Corps.
The first season of The Code debuted in April drew pretty low ratings, right from the start. The eight aired episodes have averaged a 0.57 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.10 million viewers in the live + same day ratings. It’s one of CBS’ lowest-rated scripted shows of the 2018-19 season.
The Code has been pulled from the schedule and will, for the immediate future, be replaced by reruns of Magnum PI. Right now, the plan is for The Code to return on Monday, July 1st, but those plans could change.
While The Code hasn’t been officially cancelled yet, CBS pulling the series from the schedule certainly points in that direction. Some of the series’ small audience will get out of the habit of watching the program and the first week in July is traditionally one of the lowest-watched weeks of television. The ratings for the next episode will be much lower than they have been.
If there was any hope of The Code surviving to see a second season, I think this move makes it clear that CBS has given up on the series.
What do you think? Do you like The Code TV show? Do you think it will be cancelled? Would you watch season two?
I love The Code. I would support it 100% I think the fans need to get together promote the show on social media. Let’s get the word out that even during a week when the rates are the lowest we can defy the odds!
I love The Code….but obviously the writing is on the wall for it, as the saying goes.
Love this Show, do not cancel
We watch The Code and look forward to each new episode. It would be a shame to see it cancelled.
Keep Code on..we’ve watched all episodes
I like the code a lot. Good cast and plenty of stories to tell
I agree with previous commenters about questioning why age enters into it. The “older” segment of TV watchers has more discretionary income to spend on those items advertised yet we’re never considered to be the “ideal” sought-after audience. We enjoyed The Code very much – intelligent, a bit of humor, and drama. The game shows and reality shows and most of the comedies are just fluff!
Why does AGE come into play? I watch the Code and I’m 81 and a fitness specialist. I only watch TV shows that are interesting. Why cancel? The so-called “comedy” shows are not intelligent or funny and I won’t watch any of them. They are rude, crude and not written well.
Needs to go.Very phony and is an embarrassment to marine corps
I love it. And I am old!
I really like The Code but, since I’m not in that 18-49 age demographic, what I like doesn’t matter!! Personally, I would watch another season because I like the characters and the storyline.
love the show could use some more action but i really like it hope to see season 2.
please keep the show
I like the show
So far, every new show this season I actually liked has been canceled. Of course they are adding this one to the list. Why stop now???
