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?

Vegas is one of a very few shows on CBS that has been worth watching in a very long time. Now, it is apparent, it has been cancelled. I know you don’t care, but I will not be wasting my time watching any replacement show in that time slot. In fact, I will not waste my time watching anything on CBS television.

VEGAS is the best show to come on TV in a very long time. Now, you are talking about taking it off the air. I don’t know who does your programing, but I don’t agree with their way of thinking. I will not be watching any program that takes the place of Vegas. In fact, I will not be watching CBS anymore.

I can’t believe CBS is thinking about canceling this show!! The story line of this show is impressive and actually makes sense unlike some of these other crap shows that only last for one season. Golden Boy?? That’s a stupid name for a show. Look at the comments and viewer comments for the show Vegas…… People like it! The 60′s setting is great and I was born in the 80′s and I actually like it. Don’t cancel it because you will have a lot of disappointed viewers that will probably not watch CBS anymore if this show is cut off. Give it a chance because basic stations hardly give new shows a chance anymore like NBC with Chase!!
Thanks, PETER

VEGAS is only one of the only series that my wife and I follow. It is the ONLY decentseries on network T.V. It is well cast and interesting and well written. It took awhile to develope the characters, but once developed, I can associate and connect with each one. To cancel the show would be shear “stupidity “.

Do NOT cancel Vegas. I am in my 60′s and all my age group love the show. My wife and I belong to a rotating Tuesday Vegas Night gathering and We all “DIG” the series. It is well cast,the writing is terrific, the continuing story line is always a cliffhanger and I love the 1960 Las Vegas setting. Plus Dennis Quaid deserves a HIT he’s a great actor. Keep this QUALITY T.V. production ON THE AIR.

I really hope Vegas is NOT cancelled. I am in my 60′s and many of my age group LOVE the series. It has great acting, well written. I love the continuing story line and the 1960 Las Vegas setting. One of my Favorites to come along and it has a great lead-in with the 2 N.C.I.S. shows. My wife and I go to rotating Vegas Night gatherings every Tuesday eve. Keep this quality T.V. drams Alive.
