USA Network’s In Plain Sight TV show recently had its episode order cut from 16 to 13 installments. Is this a sign that the series is headed for the TV graveyard after three seasons?
Not necessarily. It turns out that In Plain Sight will wrap season three early for another reason. The Futon Critic was told by Universal Cable Productions, “John McNamara, executive producer and showrunner of USA Network’s In Plain Sight, took a leave of absence for medical reasons… John Romano assumed executive producer responsibilities for the remaining episodes. Given the unexpected change, we decided to end the season at a natural spot — with the surprising cliffhanger of episode 13.”
Season three will finish airing on Wednesday, June 30th. In Plain Sight hasn’t been renewed for a fourth season yet and isn’t necessarily looking like a lock either.
Last season reportedly averaged 4.08 million viewers but recent episodes have been attracting less than three million viewers. That’s certainly not a good indicator for renewal.
What do you think? Should In Plain Sight be renewed for season four or cancelled?

please do not cancel In Plain Sight it is the best show by far in a long time I love it and want to see more
RENEWED without a doubt. The biggest problem with the show is that the seasons are so short and start so far apart from the ending of the previous season. Can’t wait for season 4 to begin.
The chemistry among the characters really comes across – plots can be kind of thin involving Mary’s ridiculous family, but the professional stuff really comes across. I have followed it since episode 1. Please renew with Mary’s same high intensity and the counterpoint of Marshall’s quiet intellectualism and devotion. PLEASE.
Please, Please do not cancel In Plain sight, we just love it!
Please do not cancel In Plain Sight series.
If this show is to bee canceled , is there an reason you could not have a 2-hour special to wrap-up the shows loose relationships?
Ah, let’s see… We know Season 2 of IPS was perfect, due largely to the push-pull screen chemistry between the too-awesome-for-words Mary McCormack and the brilliant Holly Maples as Eleanor Prince. But they had to ruin it all because Prince’s husband, connected with the show, had a falling out with someone else connected with the show. Seriously, are we in elementary school? People in TV are worse than players and coaches in the National Football League. Adult behavior… does it exist, anymore? So season 3 opens with no reasonable explanation as to the disappearance of Eleanor, whom everyone I know… Read more »
Please do not cancel this excellent show. It is witty, smart and dramatic. The constant word play between Mary and Marshal is reminiscent of the classic fast-paced screwball comedies of Hollywood’s Golden Age (Tracey/Hepburn; Grant/Hepburn; Gable/Harlow; Gable/Colbert; you get the idea). The writing is fantastic and the actors perfectly matched. Anyone who misses this show is a certified Philistine, as is anyone who considers letting it be canceled.
NO!!!!! DON’T CANCEL IN PLAIN SIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this show and watch more cable shows that regular TV. I think this show should be continued for at least another season and more!
i love in plain sight do not cancel it ,its really great
Please renew for season 4. Love the show!
Please dont cancel this show i love it i missed a few and had to wach it on netflix its a awsome show
The is the only show with a strong moral underpinning that isn’t revolting ‘Brady-bunch’-tastic… The ideas feel real and easily relateable, and that is valuable. The show doesn’t feel like the perscribed formula, although it probably has one like all successful television shows, but the point is it doesn’t feel like it. I think the show should be renewed for a fourth season, and hopefully many thereafter. It digs up the context of real life and should be considered a reality check to what is real and what is ideal.
please do not cancel, I love this show!!
thanks………..maybe you should look at how many viewers who can’t watch at night get up early on weekends just to see this show!! that’s what I do. I work at 5 am during the week, so weekends are when I catch what I’ve missed. I love that!
DO NOT CANCEL IN PLAIN SIGHT PLZ THIS IS FAR BETTER THAN SUM OF THE OTHER CRAP YALL HAVE OUT THERE SERIOUSLY GREAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, please please DO NOT CANCEL this wonderful show.
The characters are great and the theme of the show is different than another cops and robbers type drama. We are also chock full of guts and test tubes and gore from another spin off of Crime scenes etc.
I must say that ALL of the television that the USA network does is first rate and basically is the only station that I follow religiously all of the great series that they produce.
Thank you USA network and I beg of you to keep In Plain Sight!
