TVGuide is reporting that NBC has unceremoniously cancelled Las Vegas after five seasons on the air.
Las Vegas debuted on September 22, 2003 and was touted as actor James Caan’s first series regular role on television. The Academy Award-nominated actor was cast as the Montecito casino’s Head of Security, ‘Big Ed’ Deline. Others in the cast have included Nikki Cox, Josh Duhamel, James Lesure, Vanessa Marcil, Molly Sims, and Marsha Thomason.
Caan left the series last year to return to his movie career and Cox was cut from the show in a cost-cutting move. Caan was replaced by Tom Selleck and it was hoped that the addition of the veteran TV actor would help revitalize the series. It didn’t and, coupled with the series’ move to Friday nights, the ratings dropped significantly.
Last year, Las Vegas was one of the earliest NBC shows to get a renewal notice. What a difference a year can make.
NBC has opted not to renew Las Vegas for season six. Unlike Friday Night Lights, Vegas apparently doesn’t warrant shopping to other possible outlets and fans of the series are left with a cliffhanger. The last two episodes aired last Friday and was first in the ratings for both hours, Unbeknownst to viewers at the time, it was likely the last time we’ll see the staff of the Montecito. Stay tuned!
Well, whatever and however LONG ago this was, i watched it last week and when i tuned in this week to see what happened after the plane crash, there wasn’t anything listed for the next several weeks, other than re-runs of re-runs, so it seems there isn’t going to be another series, as is mentioned on another ‘post’ or ‘news’ – sending in booties for the Delinda and Danny’s baby is a cute idea, but …..either they are going to continue with Las Vegas, or they aren’t. I feel the same as i stated before, it is one of the… Read more »
I recorded the shows everyday so i could watch them at night. Now there is nothing absolutely NOTHING worth watching, i’m even thinking about cancelling my tv. It isn’t worth the money to pay for ‘nothing’. I loved this show and was on the edge of my chair waiting to see what happened and now there’s NOTHING!!! Well, i won’t be surprised if nothing happens. The networks say they try to please the people. Bull!!!!
“To Be Continued” we all know what that means except for the NBC execs apparently. I love the whole cast and the stories of this show. NBC could at least do a mini movie/mini season to end the show in a way that completes the story instead of the stupid way they left it.
LAS VEGAS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST SHOW ON TV EVER OMG WHAT WERE THE IDIOTS AT NBC THINKING BRING IT BACK PLZ. !!!!!!!
Im very unhappy they cancelled the show after putting a “to be continued” then leaving it hanging. They need to at the very least do a movie to tie up loose ends. However I would prefer the show just continue on. Bad NBC, Bad!
at least give us a book we fans deserve to know what would happen in season 6 it is killing me and my wife to know what happens you did say to beclouded i know it is already wrote out I would even go for the screen write or set it in a book
I’ve now watched most of the complete series. I think the show opened strong then begin to get stale around season 3. The season 4 cliff hangers were just downright silly. I think they were trying to rejuvinate the show. I felt it came back a little in season 5 but by then it was too late. It was probably time to go but the decision should have been made during production so they could have wrapped it up.
WE WANT THE LAS VEGAS BACK ON SCREEN’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, we just finished watching Season 5, and can’t believe it finished on that ‘cliffhanger’ even noting the ‘to be continued’ – then that stupid metal-welder anti-pirate thing came on (symbolising the end of the episodes). We are so pissed off, we are hanging to find out what happened. Bloody tv executives.
how do others think they gonna put the show on air ???????
its funny because they in the last episode they put to be Continued 🙁 but they lied
SO PISSED THAT THIS SHOW GOT CANCELLED
I LOVE THE SHOW!!!! I watch it every day from 12:00pm to 2:00pm.
and if the rattings fall then put something on … like maybe James caan returns on the show !!! But still i think tom, is a great actor.
You just can’t make someone do something. Caan had already left the show….why would he come back?
By the way, the ratings declined every year….even with Caan.
i hate those guys who cancelled that show!!! I lovit, and i think that there are many others…
people want to know what will happen next … [..] But i think the heads of NBC donk care what we are thinking, wright ?? And I realy miss it :(:(
