As expected, USA Network has cancelled Common Law after one season and 12 episodes. There won’t be a second season.
Common Law revolves around a pair of LAPD detectives who successfully solve crimes together but can’t stand each other. As a result, their boss sentences them to attend couples therapy. The cast includes Warren Kole, Michael Ealy, Jack McGee, Sonya Walger, Elizabeth Chomko, Alicia Coppola, Nora Zehetner, and Reed Diamond.
The series debuted on May 11th and ran on Friday nights through August 10th. The ratings were poor from the start, even by the cable channel’s standards. The season averaged a 0.6 demo rating with 2.12 million viewers.
In September, it was rumored that Common Law was essentially cancelled. The showrunner had taken a job on CBS’ Elementary and the cast’s contracts had all expired. Word was that the sets had already been dismantled as well.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that there won’t be a second season for Common Law?

I know Common Law was extremely funny and I enjoyed it very much it seems to me all the good shows are canceled
I’m very sorry to see the show end. It was very good and funny. I thought they complimented each other very well. I believe that networks should really spend time moving shows to different nights to see how well they will fare
Highly disappointed!! The script was well written, actors’ performance superb! They really did click together. The concept was a good one. Fine acting, fine writing, fine concept – too bad it wasn’t given another chance on a more television-watched night of the week before pulling the plug. Some of us out here really enjoyed the show.
HELL YA I’m disappointed I don’t know why there were low ratings. I loved that show I thought the characters has fantastic chemistry! Honestly busy people dont watch TV anymore they watch things on Netflix, Hulu etc when they have the time. Do the powers that be take that under consideration when they take good shows off the air?
