"'Doubt," the Katherine Heigl-starring freshman drama has been pulled off from CBS schedule recently after it aired its two episodes. In place of the series, the network will have a rerun of the show "Bull' at 10 p.m. on Wednesday and on the following week, the second season of the "Criminal Minds" series will also be aired. These shows will be taking place of the time slot intended for those shows.
On the production of all the 13 episodes of "Doubt", it has been said that it was already completed in December prior to the holidays. However, CBS hasn't made yet an official decision on when the eleven remaining episodes will be aired back on the network. It can be recalled that it made its premiere on February 15 with a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.31 million of total viewers. Accordingly, this is somehow slightly below the previous series time slot occupant of the network, Variety reported.
Further, it was one week later when CBS made a series rating fell to a 0.6 and 4.03 million viewers. This is somehow one of the reasons of the show being pulled off since CBS focuses on the total viewers rather than the demo. But then, on the second episode, "Doubt" shed around 45% of the total viewership that leads off other shows of the network.
As per LA Times, the network has not confirmed yet that the series is of total cancellation and might still return in the future. The eleven remaining episodes could probably air on summer where there will be of less worry about the paltry viewership of the show.
Further, one of the stars, Dule Hill also posted on his Twitter account upon saying that the show has been canceled yet his family also books a pilot on the same day. As per "Doubt' creators Joan Rater and Tony Phelan, they added that they wanted it to delve into the imperfections of the America's legal system and some other television writer like Meredith Blake said that the show is worthy and highly watchable kind of show.
