Years ago, JAG was cancelled by NBC after one season, but then CBS picked it up, and it ran for an additional nine seasons, before ending in 2005. The Tiffany Network’s NCIS franchise spun off from JAG and is still serving them well. Now they’re trying a different take on the format with The Code TV show. Can it too pass muster with the CBS audience and Nielsen households? Will The Code be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CBS military legal drama from creators Craig Sweeny and Craig Turk, 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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like The Code TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*7/23/19 update: CBS has cancelled The Code TV show so there won’t be a second season.

Bring The Code back! Love that show!!!! Great cast. Great storylines! Please, bring it back!
Please renew this show.. My family and I love it… Bring it back!
CBS is the blame for this wonderful show being cancelled. To keep changing days, times, taking it off for weeks then putting it back on is the wrong way to show support for a new show & the actors. These actors & producers put a lot of hard work into ” The CODE” and if it had a stable day & time the viewership would go up. Stop going the easy route CBS by bringing back old shows.

From what I researched, Active duty and Marine Vets were protesting the shows inaccuracies. The ribbons out of place on the uniforms and all the men needed hair cuts. They could have hired a former Marine Vet to be a tech adviser for the show. From serving in the Army myself, not everyone is an expert shooter. In my basic squad only 5 shot expert, everyone was a sharp shooter and bottom were marksmanship. All the lawyers were experts shots, which I find impossible since a lot of the lawyers I knew went to college, passed then bar exam, went… Read more »
Andrew, You’re exactly right about the show being painfully wrong and unrealistic, in everything regarding how Marines look and act. You are incorrect, however, regarding Marine lawyers.

They are not considered to be second-class officers. Having too… Read more »
