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?

i was a faithfull viewer till we cut down out tv channels and i lost usa but ive been watching netflix forever i really want the fourth season. please bring it back. i hope that tv people count the people who watch the show on netflix it could shoot the people watching it back up its a super show and i cant get enought please bring it back
This is a good and different kind of cop show series. Hope it is not cancelled.
Please don’t cancell this show!! We love it! I get tired of getting into a good show and then have it gone!!
We love this show!!! Please don’t cancel. The characters are so interesting and quirky, the script is well-written. A very refreshing departure from other shows. I agree with the earlier comment: it’s so great to have a show that isn’t a copy cat of L&O or CSI.
Please bring this show back. I just discovered it on net flix. I watched all three seasons over a few weeks and cant get enough. I’m hooked. Please bring it back!!!
Please don’t cancel! This show has a realistic undertone; the chemistry with the characters is addictive. There’s a unique plot that isn’t seen on any other tv show relating to law enforcement, with just the right amount of humor.
I didn’t know the show existed until I spoted it on the net……now I can’t get enough of it….and you say it is cancelled……big bummer!! I would like to offer my services to advertize this great show! Word of mouth is the best! Everyone I have talked to so far thinks that this is one of the best shows….that (sorry to say) WAS OUT THERE!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!
My husband and I love this show! Please renew it! Ir would be a shame to cancel a show that has such great characters and intensity.
There is so much crap on these days we loved watching In Plain Sight.
So pisssed when that show chase came on,they practically stole the whole premise for In Plain Sight!Love Mary Mccormick
Fantastic show. Have really missed it. Please renew!
Enjoy the show nice to see a strong women in a lead role. Her families flaws keep it interesting and beliveable. The banter between with Marshall helps to keep it light but not silly.
I alsoo liked the interaction between all the players, The mom, sister, secretary, marys boss, the sisters boy friend. This made the show fun to watch.
In Plain sight is an awesome show. the only. All my shows that I watch are o usa.
The reason the viewship probably dropped is because this past season cut all the interesting “kooks” that made the program fun. The mother, sister, secretary, boyfriend all had limited or non-appearances. It got VERY boring. Plus there was very little interaction between Mary and Marshall. If this season continues in the same vein, l won’t be watching much longer either.
Exactly! The reason I watched was that it wasn’t just one of the 100 other ‘prodedurals’ flooding the airwaves. Mary’s family, her relationship with Rafe, her sister and all of them together hammering out the kinks in parallel to the witness protection story made the show absolutely fabulous. Whomever the idiot was that decided to change the formula and ax the cast and make it just like all the other “Ooooh COP SHOW!” shows should be ashamed. I quit watching. If it can be fixed and taken back to it’s former glory of the first 2 seasons great. Otherwise, put… Read more »
This is an excellent series. Well written, good chemistry with the primary cast members. It’s not very often these days we get to see something that is not only done well but is enjoyable and original. It’s not another L&O offshoot. Originality is something that you should definitely embrace here. I believe that this series is well worth another season.
