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 like the show. VERY disappointed network pulling it to run reruns…. please run all the remaining episodes. That’s the least u can do 4 all of the fans.
I love The Code.I believe it is very interesting.I don’t want to see it go
Excellent cast and scripts. Hate to see this go. Just starting to build momentum!!
I definitely like the show. I like NCIS and Blue Bloods as well
I like to see CBS give the Military Series The Code a Second Season by moving it to Sunday night at 10:00 replacing Madame Secretary on CBS on Sunday night at 10:00 pm Please I’m begging you move The Code to Sunday night at 10:00 pm
Actually the one show I look forward to watching.
Really like the show. Too bad someone stupid in the network had to go and ruin things by canceling or postponing. another dumb move. Maybe get rid of some of the lame reality shows our some stupid comedies with raunchy humor that is not family friendly.
Another dumb network move. Good show just like Jag was to start. Another nite would work.
save THE CODE, please
The Code was affront to those of who served in the Marine Corps! There are constant uniform mistakes, dialogue that would never happen, just an overall mess. It either needs a complete overhaul, with a military advisor, or cancelled.
Thought the show was pretty good
The Code has gotten better since premiering. We watch it and enjoy it, looking forward to it weekly. We want it to continue airing.
Why is it that people over 50 doesn’t seem to count in the ratings? The younger age group seems to care more about reality programs, but they the ones that the networks look at.
This show started off a bit slow, but as the characters were developing, the story lines got much better. I think it deserves a 2nd season.
I love the code. If CBS pulls the code I will stop paying for their streaming app and go elsewhere. That tics me off. I am a Marine and enjoy it.
