It was an okay start for Ashley Judd and company. Former occupant Wipeout had been attracting a 1.5 in the demo and it’s of course important to remember that the debut was opposite American Idol. In the fall, Charlie’s Angels also debuted in the 8pm timeslot with a 2.1 in the demo and was cancelled not too long afterward because the numbers dwindled downward. Will the same happen to Missing? Stay tuned.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

This show is like going to the movies each week. It’s fast and furious and you can’t guesst what’s coming. This will be a big hit if it’s given a better time slot and advertised more. By the way………….I’m SICK of reality shows!!
RENEW! Love all the twist & turns. ASHLEY JUDD makes the show. Don’t understand why ABC put new show in same time slot as AI.
Renew! Love the twists and turns, fast-paced action, and great acting. Don’t cancel!
Yes . . . Renew it for a season 2 . . . It’s addicting . . .
Missing is a Fantastic series! Lots of action and suspense!
Love all the actors and Ashley Judd is amazing!
Please renew for another season
keep it….it has intrique; despite some dah moments. Ashley needs to loosen up…too rigid, not her usual flowing acting.
Give it a chance…one season not enough to really tell.
beats watching the ridiculous reality shows…
my goodness, if 24 can last as long as that stupid show did, surely this one, with a plot, can too!
Please do not cancel! Missing is great. I hate all the idiotic so-called reality shows. Missing is exciting, its characters have depth, and Ashley Judd is awesome. There is wonderful chemistry between the three main characters. As a mother myself, I would move heaven and earth to get one of my children back, so I completely understand her motivation.
Please renew. I think this is a wonderful series. Ashley Judd is awesome.
Pro-life and not watching Missing. Ashley Judd you lost me as a fan!
RENEW IT!!!! Oh my gosh — it is one of the best shows on tv, but NOTHING can compete opposite the American Idol live results night!!! PLEASE wait until American Idol is over and then see how it does. I think you will see it go up a lot. I watch Idol too, because it is the LIVE results and watch “Missing” On Demand even though it is one of my favorite shows. A lot of people I know are doing that. I can’t watch them both at the same time. Everybody I know watches American Idol especially the results… Read more »
This show is exciting, well written, well performed by all cast members…Ashley Judd is super in this role. I love it. Please bring it back next year. It’s got tough competition … as the American Idol results show is in the same timeslot.
Please renew this show ABC!!!!! It is an action packed adrenaline ride every week. The cast is great, mostly the CIA people, Becca & family, and Mr. HOT Italian Interpol man. Although I don’t know how the plot can survive another season IF she finds her son, I would like to get to know the characters better, more backstory. Ashley Judd is an arse kickin bad ass mom. As with most of the good shows on tv, it too may be cancelled. Why do the networks always cancel the best shows and keep the crappy ones?
Please renew best show on tv!!
Cancel this show please. Unless you are a crew in this show, why would you want it renewed. I don’t think it deserves air time.
I agree with Jen. Renew the show. We love Judd. ABC has cancelled all of my fav shows. Please do not cancel this one. It’s been a while since I’ve truly fallen for a show, this one has my loyalty!
