No back order for the new CBS drama.
November 21, 2016
It is being reported that CBS has decided against ordering any additional episodes of freshman series Pure Genius. The decision comes as no real surprise, as the medical drama has made little impact in the ratings since its late October premiere, and currently ranks as the network's lowest-rated new series of the 2016-2017 season.
Pure Genius was created by Jason Katims, known for past audience favorites Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. This latest effort, which follows a tech billionaire who creates a cutting-edge hospital to treat the rarest of medical mysteries, unfortunately did not seem to catch on with viewers the same way as his more-successful shows have.
CBS currently plans to air all 13 originally-ordered episodes of Pure Genius, leaving nine still left in its run. However with it being the network's only new series not to receive any more episodes, there appears to be little hope of it getting a second season.

I have been watching CBS for almost all of their show. NCIS, NCIS N.O. NCIS L.A.,Scorpion, Madame Secretary, TIMELESS, Big Bang. You name iI I watch it. Pure Genious is a work of art. Good acting, terrific dialogue and wonderful stories. Of course Daffy Duck would rather have E WARS or some other stupid show, Survivor there's a beauty. If this show goes so do I to NBC and the Chicago series.

I agree with having more shows to make you think. I'm just tired of medical/cop/lawyer shows, though this one is different than the others using advanced tech.

SURE, people comprehend the Kardashians and Rob & Chyna instead of thinking with their brains a little bit when watching a television show. TRASH before KNOWLEDGE, today's 'brightest' minds

CBS has to remember that The Big Bang Theory didn't do well its first season either. Give this show another chance and cater to an intelligent audience for once.
