Tonight’s installment is the last episode of USA Network’s Common Law series — either for the season or for the series. It remains to be seen if this TV show will be cancelled or renewed for a second season.
Common Law follows a pair of LAPD detectives — Travis Marks (Michael Ealy) and Wes Mitchell (Warren Kole). They bicker but their talents mesh so well that their commanding officer, Captain Sutton (Jack McGee), orders them into counselling to keep the team together. Others in the cast include Sonya Walger, Elizabeth Chomko, Alicia Coppola, Nora Zehetner, and Reed Diamond.
The show debuted back on May 11th to 2.48 million viewers with a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic. In terms of viewers, that was about 30% lower than Fairly Legal’s second season premiere a couple months earlier. Common Law did however significantly outperform the ninth episode of Fairly Legal that preceded it.

Over the course of the season, Common Law’s ratings have declined and that’s not positive. At the end of July, they hit a new low with 1.76 million and a 0.5 demo rating. The season has averaged 2.13 million with a 0.6 demo rating.
The show is the lowest-rated scripted series currently on USA. That’s somewhat understandable because it does air on Friday nights, a lesser-watched night of television. Still, Common Law’s numbers are worse than Fairly Legal’s season average (which also aired on Fridays) and much lower than the other scripted shows on USA this summer.
What will USA do? It’s hard to say but, based on the ratings, there doesn’t seem to be an overwhelming reason for them to renew Common Law for a second season.
But, what do you think? Do you like Common Law? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed? Which way do you think USA will go?
Yes, please renew the show! these guys work so well together. It’s my favorite show!
They should absolutely renew it. Its one of the most amazing show I’ve ever watched. I love the guys!!!

they just have to renew it it,s one of there best shows on right now renew…………………………………
Renew it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Renew it love it just need to be move to another night it’s one of the best shows on USA
Definitely a renewable show. It’s fantastic, the ratings don’t do it anything near justice. Being as it was aired mostly during the Olympics, let alone Fridays, the ratings are understandably lower than average. Season two, with a slightly more concise plot, and just as much comedic fun as season one would be absolutely phenomenal. Even with the slow start to the season, it definitely picked up. PLEASE, RENEW.
A very good show, the two partners have real chemistry. Give the show a second chance. They have a lot of fans.
We love this show, one of our very favorites. Advertise more and RENEW!!
RENEW!!! We love it!!
