It wasn’t a great start for the new series but Awake still outperformed the premieres of (essentially-cancelled) The Firm, and (cancelled) The Playboy Club, and Prime Suspect. If the show can stay at this level of ratings, it’s got a very good chance of being renewed for a second season. It’s amazing how poor a show’s ratings can be on NBC and still be one of the best rated shows on the network.
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 Awake TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

This show is so underrated, i really hope it comes back for a new season because i love it. A detective show with alternate realities/dimensions..doesn’t get any better than that.
Best show ever! Great writing talent. You need to renew this show, it was nice to have something to watch with some intelligence.
NBC really needs to fire some people
Boo!, for canceling it. Cop show with a twist-liked it.
Great new show. At first it was hard to follow but it got better and better. Would just hate to see it cancelled.
This has been a well written and very original show. To cancel it is sad. I would think the network would do well to work on more publicity for the show and renew it instead of wasting all the talent in this special show.
Im so upset. Awake is one of the best shows on TV. Even better than Grimm.. NBC is crazt. You let a show like Whitney get a second season? Another network will pick up the show i hope
This was one of the best-written shows ever on television. They need to give it another try! I just saw the final episode and was taken to tears.
Please don’t cancell it i love this show so much !
Once again they have cancelled a show worth watching. It just goes to show people that quality no longer matters just quantity. Hopefully the people can voice their opinions and NBC will listen. Or perhaps just stop watching NBC maybe then they’ll listen when all their numbers fail
Best show on tv by far. Keeps you on suspense from beginning to the end. NBC please give us one more season, maybe earlier for those viewers that sleep early and record the show because we have to be up early (work, school, etc). I also hope another network picks up this show if NBC cancels it.
I am very upset to hear that Awake was canceled. I am frustrated by how a show of such caliber is cut so quickly when mindless shows like Jersey Shore remain. I hope NBC comes to its senses.
I signed the petition to keep the show, but have seen reports of Awake already being cancelled. Is there anything else we can do??
I loved it and would be upset if it doesn’t return
My favorite show, very interesting and I would love to see the second season. When I read that the series might be canceled I didn’t believe it, I thought ‘How could such a good series be canceled?’ The show has a great story-line, great acting, and great depth.
