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?

DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. Are you kidding? Seriously, there is a lot more garbage on TV that should be considered for cancellation WAY before you consider In Plain Sight. If the corporate head honchos have any sense of intelligence left they would RENEW this show. I sure me and many other viewers would agree as well.
Please, please do not cancel this show. It is one of my favorites & I would truly miss the characters of Mary & Marshall. This show is interesting in the fact that some people are put in Witness Protection even though they didn’t commit a crime. They are just innocent bystanders & happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Can you imagine giving up your past & never being able to connect with anyone from your past?
This show was the 13th most watched show on all of cable last week, and the fourth-highest rated hourlong original scripted drama on cable last week as well, with only “Burn Notice”, “Royal Pains” and “True Blood” bringing in more viewers. There’s no way that it’s getting canceled.
Frantically NO!
After SYTYCD, IN PLAIN SITE is my favorite show. Not summer show, 2nd favorite show, period. Although I haven’t like this season as much as the previous 2. Mary and Marshall have hardly been together. Who cares about the brother – has a DNA test been taken, but who cares? Where is Leslie Ann Warren? Christian De La Fuente? I even liked Holly Maples. These guest stars (Allison Janney?) who cares. More Marshall and his unrequited love for Mary. More Jinx. Many more episodes. Many more seasons. Love it.
Please don’t cancel “In Plain Sight”. I’ve watched every episode, there are so many things in the show that it sooooooo worth keeping on the air. Please USA don’t cancel this show, us blue collared Americans can relate to the different dynamics this show brings to the table.
Don’t cancel this show! Mary is great.
Please, Please, PLEASE, ENOUGH ALREADY! Law & Order unceremoniously dumped after 20 successful seasons w/out any indication, or even any series finale! L&O’s C.I. dismantled by yanking Goren & Eames’ characters. What’s next? L&O’s SVU? Perhaps the viewership was down b/c of the NBA’s playoff schedules & the teams involved. Just a theory. This is a very good show, substantial plots, intelligent dialogue, action, all ingredients of a successful drama. However, I do agree with viewer Lisa above re: Mary’s & Marshall’s banter (need to return to previous season’s level), & viewer M. Gordon about returning Mary’s fiance, at least… Read more »
Please do not cancel the show!! I didn’t watch last season, but this season is great. Don’t cancel!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show, It’s one of the only ones to look forward to for the spring-summer season which otherwise is pretty much as dead as autumn leaves. I like Mary’s character, fair and firm, ready to roar and kick, and yet so fragile in her solitary emotional world. For once, a real strong woman who looks good without being Barbie like. She looks real. This actress fits so well for this role. And then will her colleague ever come to tell her how he really feels? Come on, there’s so few good things left in the idiot box… Read more »
It should NOT be cancelled. I would prefer it back on Sunday nights but will watch it whenever it is on. I would also like some of the banter and relationship back between Mary & Marshall that seems to have decreased in the second half of this season.
Please renew it and add the 3 episodes from season 3 to season 4 so that it has 19 episodes and bring back her ex boyfriend he was good for Mary’s character. It is a good show and deserves to be on the air.
Please don’t cancell this show, my husband and I love In Plain Sight
Don’t cancel…it’s a great sh0w that is fun to watch when other stations are showing re-runs.
Please,Please do not cancel yet another great show! The character Mary shows being a dark cynical person with humor doesn’t mean you are crazy…Just have a dark sense of humor and see the world in a different light..
