Compared to Unforgettable’s series debut a year earlier, CBS was down by 14% in the demo (vs a 2.9 rating) and down by 4% in viewers (vs 14.09 million). While the viewership is very impressive, the demo is less so and CBS has cancelled many series for low demo numbers.

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.

What do you think? Do you like the Vegas TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

Are you out of your minds???? Why do you people do stuff like this??? I do not care what the ratings say, and I do not think you really go by them, like Michal said, nobody called me or my friends that watch Vegas either, you are pulling it off the air for who knows what reason!!! This is idiotic!!! Vegas is a good show, good productions, good actors, good story lines, AWESOME reproduction of the era and you are taking it off the air. Of course you don’t give a freak about the people that ACTUALLY watches it and enjoys it! It doesn’t make enough money for you??? May be if you give it some more time and more publicity, you will get more viewers, what an idea? But what do you people care, yes, we are the customers but we don’t count, as usual !! No m ore CBS for me, knock at my door when you bring Vegas back!! And I am not freaking kidding either!! Not that cbs gives a freak.

I cant believe they are canceling VEGAS !! This is one of the good ones. I am so sick of stations keeping those stupid reality shows and getting rid of a good show like this. I don’t know if there just isn’t any good writers out there anymore, but I don’t find reality shows entertaining. I guess I wont be watching any shows on CBS anymore, because they will just cancel it after I start getting interested in the story line!!!!

Cancelled? You’ve got to be kidding me! This was one of the few Great shows on the air!! (Dallas & Blue Bloods are the few others.). Great setting, Great story lines, Great actors, Great everything!! We are up to our eyeballs with stinking “reality” shows and STUPID comedies. (in my home, we don’t watch any of them anymore!!) People don’t go to the movies to watch stuff like that, so why don’t you keep good dramas like Vegas on the air so we can enjoy the “small screen”‘in our homes? Vegas was one of the only CBS programs we watched. If this goes, goodbye CBS! Shame on you for buckling to the Neilson Ratings! They’ve never called me or any of the people I know so why should you trust them? Bring Back Vegas!!!
