CBS has had some great success with reality TV series, like Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Big Brother, and now they’re expanding their reach in the genre with a new competitive reality series. Enter The World’s Best TV show. Does the talent competition have the chops to take it the Tiffany Network to the top of the Nielsen ratings? Will The World’s Best be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CBS talent competition from creators Mike Darnell and Mark Burnett, The World’s Best is hosted by James Corden, with Drew Barrymore, RuPaul Charles, and Faith Hill serving as the American judges. Elite acts from around the world must impress those judges and a mega-panel of 50 international experts from every corner of the entertainment business, known as the “wall of the world.” The winner is crowned “The World’s Best” and earns a $1 million dollar prize.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly on the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/14 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 World’s Best TV series? Should this CBS TV show be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*Update: The CBS series has been cancelled so, there won’t be a second season.
“The World’s Best” actually turned out to be “The World’s Worst.” I can’t believe some of the talent that won their categories: a sub-par a capella group, a weird ventriloquist, a “I’ve seen this a million times” child prodigy. None of these acts were the world’s best. Who chose the American judges? Drew Barrymore seemed like the only one worthy to sit on that panel. Some of the international judges had such gigantic egos and some of their reasonings for not voting for some of the best acts were ignorant and didn’t make any sense. Dimash and the TNT boys… Read more »
Overall, I mom and I liked this show! I especially liked the geography aspect of having talent from different countries. I like geography and am generally interested in what people around the world can do! Kukkiwon DemoTeam was the best! I’m humbly a blackbelt in TaeKwonDo, but I could never begin to do what they do. They have a true gift from God!
I felt that the show was fake, i didn’t feel that it gave the contestants the respect they deserved, i felt that everything was bought off from start…for example – The non justified 2 negative votes on Dimas’s performance…no reason once or ever besides so the show won’t be expected…even though Dimash performed very sick he was much more above anyone – Dimash’s songs were shortened without thinking about the melody (People know his songs…what you guys did to his songs was outrageous) – Then you didn’t agree for him to sing a song he wanted (that’s what his fans… Read more »
weak show , weak ratings , needs to be cancelled.
LOVE THIS SHOW! Really hope it gets renewed
I love this show! I hope it gets another season!
Give it an 2nd season. It a good Sunday show. Just saw the maigic guy with the cards going with the music. I like him. Hope he wins
The best thing about this show is Dimash (6 octave men). The rest of the contestants are a joke! They should just give him the title and call it a day. I have no idea who those other people are sitting in the “wall of the world “. I don’t recognize any of the faces there. The two idiots who did not vote for him couldn’t give a plausible reason for not voting for him. The only thing that comes to mind with their pathetic answer is JEALOUSY! In my opinion some of the contestants are good but not the… Read more »
Pretentious. The “OMG” over-exuberance adds to the phoniness of both contestants and judges. The show will fizzle out painfully week by week.
We didn’t like this show at all.
The show is fabulous ! I like the chemistry of Drew ,Faith and Run! I like this show ! I hope it is successful
