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?

Renew it renew it renew it !!! To meany good shows get canceled these days and this one of the good ones.
I find In Plain Sight to be one of the cleverest and most creative shows on TV, and I will be very disappointed to see it cancel.
I agree!! Renew it or is the studio going to be just like our government and not listen to the will of the people??
This is a great show and one that got us watching USA Network again. We had stopped watching most tv for the same reasons others have stated here..just junk out there and now when there is a good show you all might cancel it?? Come on!! Please do not cancel this show!!!
Definitely–renew it!!
AGAIN, it seems as though the network execs SAY that they want viewership’s opinions on whether or not a great show like In Plain Sight ‘stays or goes’, but when they actually GET said opinions, those opinions really don’t matter to them in the grand scheme of things/the end. WHY lie to viewers and tell them that what THEY (the viewers) like ‘matters’ to them, when the truth is FAR from that perspective? Either the networks CARE about our (the viewership’s) tv-watching needs/wants … and what WE say makes a difference like they tell everyone it does, OR the networks… Read more »
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not cancel In Plain Sight. Yes, Mary’s mother and sister are both a huge pain in the butt, but their characters are supposed to be a pain, and both “Jinx” and “Brandy” are surperbly portrayed as such. Like many of the other folks who left a comment, I’ve gotten family members and friends hooked on this show. It is not so much about the WitSec aspect, as it is about family and how we all live our day-to-day lives. I do miss Mary’s fiancee — he kept her from spinning out of control and made her… Read more »
This is one of the best shows on. We loyally watch it and hope it does NOT get cancelled!
I absolutely enjoy this show! Its a top show on my short list of must watch shows each week. Mary (McCormack) is superb and cool Marshall are like butter and bread. Great chemistry. This weeks show was one of the best. Never fails to entertain us and when I hear of rumors of a cancellation I , along with other millions, are extremely upset and disatisfied with any such plans should they exist. PLEASE USA renew this wonderful show for a fourth season!!! Would make us very happy. For certain, Mary and Marshall would be sadly missed every week in… Read more »
This is one of the BEST shows on television and one I NEVER miss – please do not cancel this show. The characters are fantastic and the storyline is unique and clever. Been a fan sicne day one.
This is a great show and should definitely be renewed.
I love this show. Renew. I got all my family, three generations hooked on this show. We have been devoted to nearly every cop/detective show on USA Network except for the Dead Zone. The Reason–the characters and the themes have a different twist and approach than does the mundane cookie cutter Network shows. In Plain Sight has a great premise, characters and acting. If viewer ship has fallen in the third season after such a strong start, the executives should resolve some of the behind the scenes director/producer conflicts that have been reported and return to the original formula that… Read more »
This show is great! I usually DVR because I am not usually home when it airs, but I watch it every week. Please don’t cancel it
Would love to see it renewed. It has a great story line, and always presents relevant episodes.
Please renew!!!
Please please please don’t cancel this show!! I don’t watch much TV at all, due to the mind-numbing drivel that is on most of the time. But “In Plain Sight” stands out as a show with great actors (LOVE Mary and Marshall!) and witty writing; the witsec angle also makes for interesting stories. If your network really believes that characters are welcome, then please don’t eliminate two of the best TV characters ever created. Please don’t cancel “In Plain Sight”.
will be very disappointedn if not renewed. One of the best shows on TV
