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?

If CBS has any ounce of brains they will not cancel Vegas. Many have said they hate reality tv. DITTO! You have great story lines with a great cast that holds your interest from week to week. Come on, don’t ruin a good thing. If they cancel it, I am done with the CBS network!

KEEP “VEGAS” on the air, as it is a great show and Dennis Quaid is great. I am 64 and love the fact that you bring things back to where they were when I was growing up. This show should not be cancelled, cancel all the reality shows, except Dancing with the Stars and Bachelor. Us older folks like these kinds of shows and it is a good show. Listen to us, not the folks in the 18-35 demographics…they don’t know good TV.

I love Vegas! the style is like Mad Men, very authentic. The 3 brothers have a great and complex relationship and the middle one is so intense! A lot happens in each episode keeping my little ADHD mind tuned in. I look forward to it each week and already miss it for this week.

My husband Steve and I love the show and will be very disappointed if it is cancelled. It is actually one of the best shows going. Golden Boy can’t touch it. Please don’t cancel it. We love watching the dynamic between Chiklis and Quaid and anticipate that their relationship will evolve into a working friendship.

Vegas is real entertainment and should not be cancelled. The cast is great and the episodes have been very entertaining. I am really not into all the ‘reality?’ shows and would love to see some or all of them go.

One of the better shows on With all the stupid reality shows and awful comedy shows Vegas is really great I think Quaid and the rest of the cast are fantastic I vow not to watch Golden Boys Looks like a politically correct show and no where near the quality of Vegas I got so tired of the ads that I quit watching CBS
Please keep Vegas or move it to another network
