PopMatters wrote that,"Citizen Baines showed genuine signs of bucking the CBS feel-good Saturday night orthodoxy,by assuming the complex task of creating family-friendly entertainment without soaking in sentiment the raw textures of domestic life... But Citizen Baines symbolizes the lack of imagination driving so much of prime-time,whether drama or sitcom,cable or network..."[ citation needed ]USA Today's Robert Bianco gave the series a negative,one-and-a-half star review,and stated,"After all,the only interesting thing about Elliott Baines is his job as a U.S. senator —and he loses that at the end of Saturday's premiere. Don't worry:I'm not revealing anything that the "citizen" in the title didn't already tell you." [1]
Scheduled on Saturdays following Touched by an Angel , [2] the series ranked #90 (the lowest rank for a regularly scheduled series on one of the Big Four networks),and averaged 8.2 million viewers. [3] [4] Due to the low ratings,CBS canceled the series in October 2001 after six of the nine episodes produced were aired. [5]
