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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
7/23 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.

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 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.
Renew The Code
Please renew the Code. I love it!!!!!
I think you should definitely bring the code back for season 2. I really love this show.
Keep The Code- good show
I love The Code. It is one of the best shows on TV. I hope it doesn’t disappear.
An interesting entertaining program. I hope it will be renewed for season 2 OI never understood why the 18-49 demo was so revered. When I was that age it was all I could do to provide the essentials needed to provide for myself and my family. It wasn’t until I was past the age of 49 that I had discretionary income to purchase the things that the advertisers were trying to convince me to buy.
Always watched JAG and like the Code. Interesting that your target demographic is 18-49. I am 68 and watch all the NCIS shows and most shows I watch are on CBS. Too bad you don’t care what my friends and I watch. Survivor, Blue Bloods, Seal Team. May have to change what I watch.
Please bring us a second season. I find that show very interesting. We need that kind of show to show us the military side that military families and personnel go true.
The show is weak, but after JAG there is no comparison. CBS should bring JAG back the Characters were strong, the episodes were always different.
JAG will not be back. It has been 9 years. Harm and Mac are on NCIS Los Angeles. It was nice to see them.
I really enjoy this show. I loved JAG, and missed a military justice show. Please renew this show for a second season.
To everyone commenting about the hair regulations of the Marines: Please look up the regulations first. From what I have seen of the show no actor/actress has a hair style that is in violation of the regulations for Marine hairstyle.
I am looking forward to future episodes as the plot line seems to be getting more in depth and more interesting!!! I like it more and more every week!
I’m watching my first episode on The Code and the first thing that stands out is the longish trendy hair on the male Marines. Very distracting. Not a former Marine.
gotta go they forget all military grooming standards
Nothing and I mean nothing can live up to the legacy of JAG. The Code to me is incredibly disrespectful to the military and the JAG cast as well as loyal fans of JAG. Thank goodness we are getting Mac and Harm on NCISLA this year.
