Please keep this show, at least air all 13 episodes. I am a nurse and amazed at what I am learning about the brain since I thought I knew a lot before this series This is so interesting and fascinating. I am sure the series can assist those with a mental condition and their families to understand and provide more coping skills. The cast is wonderful.

My grandaughter has struggled with her bi-polar disease for several years. She has been in and out of hospital for a couple of years and has stabalized for one year now. We watch this show together and love it. It gives her hope that she too will be able to have a normal life. The show helps get rid of the stigma. It also has a great story line and wonderful acting. Please keep it on

As someone who does not suffer from a mental illness, I have learned a lot from watching this show and really appreciate what Black Box has to offer. Not only does it provide a copious amount of information regarding neurological disorders, but it also has a juicy love story that keeps me intrigued. I truly hope ABC gives it a chance to reach its potential and I hope others just watch it once to give it chance. You'll never know until you try!

Remember that 52% of our population view mental illness as a stigma. That means over 1 out of 2 people extremely disapproves all forms of mental illness. That right you already lost have of the population that would not like the show due to this stigma. Like hope said 1 in every 4 people develop a mental illness at some point in their lives. People need to be educated about mental illness. Anyways I know they already cancelled the show but maybe if we keep writing about in on twitter Facebook maybe just maybe the ratings will go up to create a second season.

Great show and I'm hooked ! Those who do not suffer from mental illness may not 'get' the show. I am an advocate for those with mental illness. People who do not have to deal with this illness everyday but have friends and family that do, give the show a chance. This show is realistic and sends the message that those with mental illness can live functional lives. A Neurosurgeon with mental illness, is brilliant. Don't cancel !!

THANK YOU Lena and Hope. The first page of notes is very sad and I had fear that the show would get cancelled. LOVE this show and if those without this "upset" would just get educated, I think this world would be much healthier. First things to learn, NEVER ask someone if they forgot their meds, NEVER tell someone they just need to snap out of it, etc. I chaired a Domestic Violence and another meeting for those who suffer from any of the depressive illnesses. I enjoyed those meetings greatly. My mother, I had to drag her to a meeting so she would "get a clue" and she practically walked out and still says after all these years that it was far too depressing for her and HOW can I subject myself to all that. She claimed those meetings are what made me so depressed. LMAO I was very PO'd for years by that. GRRR...
Please keep posting positives for this show so we can have our pseudo meeting once a week with this show, at least. I live where there are NO meetings within 45 miles and always at night. Can't do that. Enjoy everyone...
