Ratings Review: RUSH (Season One)

RUSH is another attempt by USA to find a new formula for it's scripted series. This medical drama appears to have drawn better viewership than its Thursday night companion SATISFACTION, but its fate may still be the same.

If it came down to it, RUSH may be the better choice of returning for season two, than SATISFACTION. It never hit 'rock bottom, with it's numbers and even posted a high in viewership, with the second to last episode. But will a few hundred thousand more viewers make a difference for renewal?

For the 10 episode season, RUSH averaged 1.65 million viewers and a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-49. My gut tells me RUSH will not be back, but I believe this is a bubble series and USA may wait until the last moment to make a decision.
