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?

It’s interesting to see how Las Vegas started growing in the early ’60s. It’s a great cast and each week relationships and situations become more intense. It should definitely stay on.

Please don’t take Vegas off the air. This is a great show and my family and I look forward to the next episodes. As soon as we find an enjoyable t.v. series it’s removed for unforeseen reason. According to the Neilsen ratings over 11 million people watch this show, that should tell you something. I agree with most people that this is a GREAT show that’s has come along in years.

I love Vegas! That is why I stay up Tuesday nights. I do not like the Golden Boy. When will Vegas be back?

Show is great. Leave it on the air. I’m a senior and enjoy shows like Vegas,
Unforgetable, Harrys Law etc. But because TV caters to a younger audience and to dumb reality shows that do not make for good entertainment, seniors 60 and older are left to the mercy of the networks.

I think that this is one of the better shows of this genre. It is a kick to watch the inception of Vegas and I think the storyline is spot on. Really sorry to hear it has been cancelled.

when I was a kid there were a few shows I looked forward to see each week. Each week’s expectation was exciting. It’s been along time since I’ve look forward to a TV show. Vegas is one those shows. I hope someone (Les Moonves) has the common sense to overrule the “SUITS” who are always frantic and hesterical about making a name for themselves. They’re all immature and without any life experiences, and they’re all the ones making decisions on what we are allowed to view. No wonder there is a dearth of good TV shows on televisions.
