The networks love to create new TV shows that are based on movies from the past. Some do well in the ratings while others are quickly cancelled. How will CBS make out with their Training Day TV series? Will it be a hit or a flop? Will Training Day be cancelled or survive to be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Picking up some 15 years after the movie, the Training Day TV show follows Detective Frank Rourke (Bill Paxon). He’s the maverick head of a special unit that hunts the city’s most dangerous criminals. When the LAPD brass notices Rourke’s penchant for operating in a gray area to fight crime, they assign heroic Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) to pose as Frank’s trainee to spy on him and report on his off-book methods. The rest of the CBS cast includes Katrina Law, Drew Van Acker, Lex Scott Davis, Julie Benz, Christina Vidal, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Love the show! Please do not cancel it!!!
Please renew this show love it hope to see more seasons
I think the show should be renewed for a 2nd season. I’ve enjoyed each episode. Kevin Bacon or Keiffer Sutherland would play the role of Frank perfectly
Well its such a shame about Bill Paxton. Great show. I like it. Entertaining. I would definite renew the show. Who should play Frank? Who knows. How bout Fred Dryer from Hunter. He would be perfect. Haha. Might be a little old. Cast Michael Chilkis. Remember him from the Shield?
Renew, loved the show, it was actually hard to watch last 2 episodes on DVR due to knowing about Bill Paxton. Such a departure from roles I haf deen him in before but I think he gave Frank’s character heart.
RENEW WITH CHRISTIAN SLATER AS FRANK.
Oh my gosh, I just said the same thing before reading your comment.
One of “Training Day”‘s lead actors, Bill Paxton, died on February 25 due to complications from surgery, while the series was still under production. There won’t be a 62nd birthday.
I actually enjoyed the show. Yeah it’s a little over the top but it’s NOT like the movie which is fine. I would say give it another season but Bill Paxon just died today so i doubt it will renew
Cancel the show please it’s a waste
the show is awful and that is why it will be the new Rush Hour 2.0 when it gets cancelled
Cancel and bring back pure genius!
Gadhafi woman body guards really are you joking the guy is mental and having female body guards did not save him
Show is terrible and of course the writers feel the need to force feed their political views to the audience.
Like the ratings, the show is terrible.
I figured it would be… Just like Rush Hour… They need to stop trying to revive old action franchises into series. It’s NOT working… And yeah for a CBS series, starting out like this is straight up a sure thing for a cancellation.
Rush Hour 2.0
