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.
If the ratings are down on the shows aired on CBS mainly because Direct TV and Nexstar are not letting Direct Tv customers see the CBS channels. Each company are blaming the other for it being pulled from our viewing line up. I live in South Carolina and most of the shows I like are on CBS. I have also talked with others who prefer CBS shows. Maybe you should let these groups know they need to get together and put the channels back into the lineup.
We need more shows like this one. I prefer adult entertainment.
Our society needs this show. We need more adult fair
Love the Code. Please renew for season 2!
Enjoy the characters and story. Please renew for season 2. Give it a chance to develop a following.
It should be noted that Nexstar and ATT/UVERSE and locked in a contract battle and the show is not available on the blacked out channel on which The Code appears in many areas, so the viewed stats are no doubt heavily skewed as having declined.
Love the Code. Please renew for season 2!
Bring back The code for season two great show
