Aside from racking up impressive series premiere ratings (thanks to a special timeslot), The Resident TV show had something of a lackluster freshman outing on FOX. After eking out a second season renewal, can it prove it is just what the doctor ordered? Will The Resident be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A FOX medical drama, The Resident stars Matt Czuchry, Emily VanCamp, Manish Dayal, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Jane Leeves, Glenn Morshower, and Bruce Greenwood. The series centers on resident Dr. Devon Pravesh (Dayal), as well as Senior Resident Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Czuchry), and their colleagues at the Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. Although its motto is, “Committed to excellence,” the hospital is staffed with human beings, and humans are flawed. Now that Devon is on the other side of the institution’s velvet ropes, Conrad wants him to understand the reality of medicine and its delivery.
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.

The show mixes a heady dose of reality, well written plus great acting. One of the best medical shows. Nails it. From a physician.
Really good show. Twisted a little, but it teaches stuff. Good corporate vs. Educated employees show. I love it.
Renew please.
