We’ve received a few emails from readers asking if Harry’s Law has been cancelled. After all, the last original episode of the Kathy Bates series aired on January 18th.
The legal drama has certainly been struggling in the ratings and is one of the lowest-rated shows on the network this season. But, while it’s hard to imagine that Harry’s Law will be renewed for a third season, the series hasn’t been cancelled just yet. It does have a lot of viewers, just not in the desired demographic unfortunately.
Harry’s Law is on hiatus and won’t return until March 11th, once the February sweeps period has finished. NBC ordered 22 episodes for the current season so there are 10 installments left to air.
Since it’s likely that the show won’t be back, hopefully the cast and crew won’t leave viewers with a cliffhanger in the last episode.
What do you think? Are you still watching Harry’s Law? Do you miss it when it’s not on?

My husband and I love Harry’s Law! Please keep it! It’s one of the better shows right now and Kathy Bates is an amazing and terrific actress!!
Who says it is a bad show??? When it premiered our entire family fell in love with Harry…and all the characters. (Season 1) Season 2 ..partially because of all the changes made from season 1 and late start as well as moving around in the week I’m sure affected the ratings. Why can’t good drama with complex haracters make it? Reality TV? So tired of it. We will be watching when it returns in March and will hope that you will not give up on it.
Love Harry’s Law!! I can’t believe it will be cancelled. It’s one of the best shows on TV. It’s not just another police/crime show. It’s thoughtful, original and at times hilarious. Kathy Bates is brilliant. Please don’t cancel it.
I think Harry’s Law is the best show on TV. The sitcoms and reality shows are coming out our ears. The show shows some intelligence and thought in producing. Please don’t can it.
WE DONT agree that Harry’s Law has been taken off and the junk has been put on in its place, it is not just a tragedy but a travesty at taking such a good show off the TV!
It has to be the age demographic because networks only go by the young brain dead because the networks are run by the young brain dead. Harry’s Law is one of the best shows on TV although I wished they stayed as a “Store Front/Shoe Store” operation. Maybe the ratings dropped because they became a “BIG” law show (L.A. Law), not counting “the Good Wife” which is BY FAR the best show ON TV. If big good shows were not pitted against one another they would still get good ratings and advertisers would still reach their customers BECAUSE AFTER ALL,… Read more »
LOVE Harry’s Law, we hope the network will keep it. There are WAY too many sit-coms on about sex, homosexuality and reality shows—Harry’s Law is a breath of fresh air in bad television. It talks about controversial issues and always gives a viewpoint that is different than the norm. The acting, esp. Kathy Bates is superb, I have no idea why the ratings would be low unless they are pitting it against well-known standard shows that people have been watching for years. PLEASE KEEP IT, it is one of the few worth watching.
If Harry’s Law is to be canceled I put the entire blame on the dramtic chenge of format. The major appeal of the show was the “one woman against the world, let the big law firms be damned”. This new format loses much of the appeal of the first season as well as some of the great characters that were there. In addition, Kathy Bates seems to be taking more of a supporting role, she is why I started watching in the first place! I’ll continue to watch until the end but I’m disappointed.
I loved the show and will truly miss it. Keep it on the air Bates is great and the cast is wonderful, the writers are fantastic!
I enjoy the show and have been wondering what happened to it. I hope they decide to
keep it on but I think moving it to Sunday was a mistake.
Love Harry’s Law! Please keep it ON!
Please keep! The script is intelligent entertainment! How refreshing.
I love Harry’s Law, and have been missing it. I don’t understand why the networks constently pit new shows against favorite old shows though. It doesn’t seem like that gives the new show a fighting chance.
Please keep. Harry’s law is so refreshing, there are only so many reality shows one person can stomach. Give it a chance.
KEEP Harry’s Law. It was the only show I watched, except the NBC news, on Wednesdays. . Now there is nothing.
