As expected, USA Network has cancelled Common Law after one season and 12 episodes. There won’t be a second season.
Common Law revolves around a pair of LAPD detectives who successfully solve crimes together but can’t stand each other. As a result, their boss sentences them to attend couples therapy. The cast includes Warren Kole, Michael Ealy, Jack McGee, Sonya Walger, Elizabeth Chomko, Alicia Coppola, Nora Zehetner, and Reed Diamond.
The series debuted on May 11th and ran on Friday nights through August 10th. The ratings were poor from the start, even by the cable channel’s standards. The season averaged a 0.6 demo rating with 2.12 million viewers.
In September, it was rumored that Common Law was essentially cancelled. The showrunner had taken a job on CBS’ Elementary and the cast’s contracts had all expired. Word was that the sets had already been dismantled as well.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that there won’t be a second season for Common Law?

really loved this show. I missed the first two episodes and I have been regretting it. maybe the usa network could try and replay the first season to see if it get a better reaction because its hard to believe the show didn’t do well when you see all these well written reviews
Again, you have a good + funny family show and you kill it. Explain to me how you all keep the lights on? Some of the worst shows stay on for what seems like forever… Even our government has shut down ~ Now if you could rewrite a new government while they’re taking a break,… Many of us would be most grateful. I could probably get over this huge disappointment of you killing Common Law.
~Me~
I’m extremely disappointed , my friends and I absolutely loved this show. We delay 0r cancel all our plans just too stay in and watch it! I think its very unfair that we people who really enhoyed it has too suffer just because it had a low rating! There are so many ****** episodes that you guys can cancel!!! Please bring it baaaaack!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this show and was looking forward to the next season. I am very disappointed.
I loved the show. Would like to see it come back. This show was not a lot of killing or blood. Please come back.
I loved this show. I thought it was coming back. I just decided today to check to see why it had not return when all the other shows had come back by July. Anyone heard anything about the possibility of seeing the reruns?
I looked forward to this show every week, even tho I watched it on my phone. I had heard that it was cancelled, but I was hopeful anyway. Everything about it fit nicely, except Friday nights, apparently. Never a great night for tv … certainly not a great night to start a show you’d like to keep around, anyway. 🙁 Boo.
I loved this show. Was waiting for it’s return. When shows are kept on about kids sleeping with pigs, who has the fattest butt, etc., why on earth do they cancel a GOOD, decent show that where we can laugh?
My husband and I loved this show. It was hilarious!!! I hope the series gets picked up by another network.
Loved the show, actually funny and well written. The other crap still running.
I know Common Law was extremely funny and I enjoyed it very much it seems to me all the good shows are canceled
I’m very sorry to see the show end. It was very good and funny. I thought they complimented each other very well. I believe that networks should really spend time moving shows to different nights to see how well they will fare
Highly disappointed!! The script was well written, actors’ performance superb! They really did click together. The concept was a good one. Fine acting, fine writing, fine concept – too bad it wasn’t given another chance on a more television-watched night of the week before pulling the plug. Some of us out here really enjoyed the show.
