Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Please DO NOT cancel ALCATRAZ. My family loves this show. With so many prisoners, this show has endless possibilities.
I watched all of Alcatraz but was never hooked. It was to formulaic, each episode was obvious what would happen. The premise is good but is poorly executed. I’d tune in for a second season but I wouldn’t be to sad to see it go. I’d rather it was wrapped up better though if it is not renewed.
I love Alcatraz and The Finder and would hate to lose either one. The only new shows I watch are those and Grimm.
I am a fan of Alcatraz — I would prefer that it not be canceled. If it is, please wrap up the show with a 2-hour movie.
Since Lie to Me began I thought FOX might Finally be interested in creating shows for people who like shows with some intelligence and creativity. I nearly didn’t watch Terra Nova Or Alcatraz because I think FOX has a proven track record of going with the few that get a quick audience, and not giving the good ones time for word of mouth to make it around. I love Alcatraz (also Terra Nova and The Finder)….I’m just hoping a more far-sighted network picks up at least Alcatraz and Terra Nova!!
i heart alcatraz! please don’t cancel the show! keep it going! its such a refreshing breeze after fringe! JJ Abrams rock! i love every tv shows he creates! such a masterpiece. especially ALIAS! don’t cancel pleaseeeeee!!!!!!!!!! tho i think the special effect make-up artist on blood need to be improve. some effect looks a little off & wonky.
Alcatraz is great! Please renew for season two and many more. Great story line. Keep them coming.
Please Do Not cancel this show!!! What a gripping and interesting show! Please don’t leave us hanging there are so few shows on tv that entertain but this one certainly does!! Come on Fox give it another season and watch those ratings climb!!!
I LOVE this show! My wife and I watched it every Monday and also DVRed it, so we can watch it again before the 2nd season (please let there be a 2nd season…). The last show that I was this into was (of course) JJ Abrams ‘Lost’, and it’s hard to find a primetime show that has captivated me in such a way.
LOVE LOVE this ALCATRAZ show!
Please keep this show, it is original and the acting is amazing, I say open the budget up more, and draw in a few more great actors, think of the guest appearances you could have.
Please renew, we love this show…can’t edit for next season. Might want to change nights
Unreal show!!! Can’t wait for season two. Don’t leave me hanging Fox.
This show was amazing! All the actors were perfect! Fox don’t cancell this show! This was a really good idea don’t cancell it!
PLEASE renew Alcatraz!!! So little on t.v. worth watching, but this is!!
