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?

Please renew “Memphis /Beat”. It is one of the finest cop shows on TV. I look anxiously for its renewal.
Memphis Beat is the best new show on TV. I never missed it and it was so enjoyable. It is the one show that I have looked for over and over. Yes, it should be given a chance. It helps when you keep the show on at the same time, on the same day. It is the only show my husband stayed up to watch. Bring it back, please.
Yes bring back the show!
I really love this show…please bring it back. Advertise it a little more to bring in the viewers. I didn’t think I would like it, but after seeing it one time I was hooked. Please don’t give up on it because it will be a great hit. Viewers just need to see it once!!!
Loved the series and happy to see it has been renewed! Jason’s singing is a big plus and the quirky characters are so interesting!
I loved the show.When I tuned the after it was cancelled I was so disappointed. Hope to see it returned real soon.
This show is wonderful-it’s smart and funny and I can’t wait for the next season
I love this show. It seems like some of the better shows are on TNT. One of my favorites that was canceled was Saving Grace. I love the two new shows, Memphis Beat and Rizzoli and Isles, that debut in the summer. I wish they would come back on sooner than summer 2011. It seems a long time to wait for a second season. Thank you for not canceling them.
Yes, I watch this show faithfully. I really enjoy it and look forward to the new season
My husband and I never missed Memphis Beat. We watched them recorded versions multiple times. The characters are wonderful and the story line is something to which we are able to relate. Please, please, renew Memphis Beat for a second season. Thanks!!
love this show please bring it back
Memphis Beat is great….love the music
PLEASE RENEW. I AM SO TIRED OF SHOWS THAT COME ON….I LOVE THE CHARACTORS, STORYLINES AND TIMBER OF THEM, THEN THEY ARE CANCELLED.
MEMPHIS BEAT HAS HEART.
Really liked the show. Look forward to a second season. Yes?
My wife and I love this show. Like everyone else, we’ve been anxiously waiting for it’s return. Love the show and love Jason’s singing.
