Telly’s Take
Although it’s in the middle of TNT’s pack in terms of the coveted demo numbers, even five seasons in, Major Crimes is one of TNT’s most watched shows. Since the cabler decided to let top performer Rizzoli & Isles wind to a close after seven seasons, the Major Crimes season six renewal makes perfect sense. But mark my words, one fine day, I will sate my hunger.
10/3/17 update: Season six will be the final season. Details here.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Major Crimes TV show was renewed for a sixth season? How would you feel if TNT had cancelled this TV show, instead?
Please, please, please do not cancel this show! ABC has cancelled all the shows I watch and this is one of the few I watch left on tv . I cannot start watching anything new because every time I do and I like it, it gets cancelled. Please I am begging you, keep this going for a few more years at least!
❤️, Major Crimes fan
We love Major Crimes
Very happy this has been renewed. Everything I like seems to get cancelled.
I’m in the UK and I’m constantly watching the re-runs, I can’t help it!
Like major crimes
Please keep it going. One of my favorite shows. Have been trying to find out when seaso 6 starts.
I Live Major crimes have been a faithful viewer since it was the cliser. One of my favorite shows. Love all of the cast!!
We watch it faithfully. It’s a fun detective show to watch. I certainly hope TNT and use it
Major Crimes is brilliant! The writing is spectacular and gives the talented actors so much to work with! Keep it up and keep it renewed! It’s a definite hit at my house.
This is one of my favorite shows. Having been a loyal fan of The Closer, I wasn’t sure I could get into the spin-off. It’s great! So much talent. Well written. Great character development. I am watching reruns now!!! Can’t wait for season six!!!
Ya know when you add in the decrease in viewership, you need to preface it with the fact that the asshats at TNT changed the day of the show AFTER TEN YEARS and then did a crappy job promoting when the change was. Just sayin’! This show has been pretty steady.
Look forward weekly to viewing the latest episode. The show has an intriguing plot and the characters are well played. Enjoy Major Crimes very much.
