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 don’t watch the show myself, didn’t find it that gripping when I tuned in, but I vote keep it. If I were a network exec I would NEVER cancel a show on a cliffhanger (unless we’re talking the ratings of 8 episodes of Happy Town), but not an established show.
Please do not cancel In Plain Sight. I love that show and would be so sorry to have it cancelled. TV studio have 50 seasons of stupid shows like Survivor and Big Brother but something as good and smart as In Plain Sight is undecided. Really?
I love the show. Please don’t cancel!
IN PLAIN SITE!!!
LOVE THIS SHOW!! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!!
THEY ARE A PERFECT TEAM!!
Hey FYITXN, a litttle newsflash for you-the networks could care less about us “middle age group” viewers. They gear everything now to ages 12-30. They SAY 18-49, but not really.12 to 30 thats the demographic. If a show is well written, etc. due to the fact that most of the audience has the attention span of a gnat, it will fail. Character driven shows?Fail. “Reality” shows are cheaper, too. So thats why the cancel “Life On Mars” and keep “So you think you can dance?” I just try to enjoy the good shows, for the time they’re on; I know… Read more »
Please don’t cancel this show – it is one of the most entertaining on tv. It has drama, comedy and great characters – cancelling this show while others like Psych stay on the air is an insult to the middle age group viewers!
Oh Good God!!! RENEW!!! RENEW!!! RENEW!!!!!
This is the one of the best shows on TV.
My whole family watches it religiously. Funny, real smart, even touching.
I would hope USA, which has MOST of the best shows on TV would keep it, push it.
Maybe an earlier time slot would help.
ANYTHING. THIS SHOW IS TOOOOOOO GOOD!!!
They should keep In Plain Sight going for another season or two. Its one of the few things on Tv that is interesting anymore.
are these people idiots? YES — IN PLAIN SIGHT must be renewed for a fourth season!!!
A definite, enthusiastic yes to Season 4. The show is one of the absolute best. Don’t give up on it!

IPS SEASON 4 (AND MORE) IS A MUST. LOVE IN PLAIN SIGHT!
Please don’t cancel In Plain Sight–it is one of the smartest shows on television!
I found this show late in its life, but love it now. It definitely needs to stay on the air.
