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 Alcatraz TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
What happened to this show????? I found it on reruns and thought it is really good and the story well written….I never even saw commercials to promote this series.
this show was really good the farther you got into it the better it got they should come out with a season 2 the ending of season 1 has everyone i suspense
that was a good program. I will miss the action and the suspense. It might have been on the wrong day when everybody is working an coming in from work. We need season two even if you make it only on dvd. please bring the show back or make it on dvd only. Thank u.
this pisses me off i finally start really watching a program and actually looking forward to each new week and they cancell my program. this really sucks .
Of coure they cancel a great show just to leave stupid reality shows on. Go Figure
I liked the show for many reasons and it was far better than most of the crap the network likes. But go ahead, cancel it, and continue producing pap for the public.
finally a really really good show and they axe it…figures
Just like “Firefly”. Ok so make a movie and give us fans some closure.
You should not cancel Alcatraz!!
