TNT is reportedly close to a sealing a deal to renew Memphis Beat for a second season. The cable channel previously gave a renewal to fellow freshman drama Rizzoli and Isles.
Memphis Beat follows a detective (Jason Lee) in Memphis who happens to moonlight as an Elvis impersonator. The cast includes Abraham Benrubi, Alfre Woodard, Celia Weston, DJ Qualls, Leonard Earl Howze, Robyn Lively, and Sam Hennings.
The series debuted on June 22nd to a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.33 million viewers. The numbers came down a bit after that and the 10 episode first season has averaged a 0.8 in the demo and about 3.6 million viewers. The season concluded on August 24th.
What do you think? Does Memphis Beat deserve a second season? Is it worth watching?

Love this show and it deserves another season. Very different and enjoyable to watch. Rates a #10 in my book. Not the usual run-of-the-mill detective story. Cast is great and all of the chemistry is terrific. For once, keep a GOOD show ON THE AIR!!!
Memphis Beat should absolutely be brought back. More music should be added…as background music, with various performers and locations. The show should promote the sites and sounds of the city so I can visit if I choose. The storylines are already unique and deserve to get more play. Memphis Tourist Center can advertise its vacation offerings on other channels and end the commercial with: “watch us on TNT, visit us this summer and enjoy the 2011 blues festival.
I LOVE IT!! THE WHOLE CAST OF THE SHOW’S ACTOR’S GO TOGETHER PERFECT!! IAM NOW WATCHING THE RERUNS FROM SEASON ONE AND ENJOYING IT AS MUCH AS I DID WHEN I FIRST SAW IT. HE DOES A GREAT JOB AS ELVIS AND LOOK FORWARD IN EACH SHOW TO WATCHING HIM SING ONE OF ELVIS’S SONG’S.
We love watching Memphis Beat.This most definately deserves to be renewed. Please do not let this show be canceled.
Absolutely this show deserves another season. Wonderful plot and character development. For the record, I do not view Jason Lee’s character as an “Elvis impersonator”. He is a much better singer than that! Cannot wait for Season 2!
Love love love this show! Please bring it back and soon!!!!
Yes it deserves a second season. I love this show. I can’t wait for the second season to start.
My husband and myself love it and we really want it back.
I Love Memphis Beat. Please, Bring it back.
I like the show & would like a Season 2. The show is fun to watch & the actors are great
I love Memphis Beat! Don’t cancel!
My daughter and myself really loved Memphis Beat. We want it back. Also another TV show “The Glades” showing on A&E was great!!!! What happend to that show? We want it back too!!!!!
Sincerly

Good show. Show Season 1 and renew for season 2.
I really enjoyed Memphis Beats first season and was really disappointed that it ended so soon. Please bring it back for season two with more episodes. All the actors on it and the site of the show make it fun to watch. Thanks
I love the trouble the guys get into and how they get out. From Jason Lee, who knew the
guy could sing! To Alfre Woodward, everything she is in is great. There are a lot of shows on TV right now and I don’t have time to watch every one I’d like to but I watched every episode of Saving Grace and every episode of Memphis Beat. No moe Saving Grace so please bring back Memphis Beat.
I love Memphis Beat & want it back.
