The mystery is over. Deadline reports NBC has cancelled The Mysteries of Laura after two seasons.
The crime drama starred Debra Messing as an NYPD homicide detective struggling to raise her young sons as a single mom. Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Callie Thorne, and Med Steedle also starred.
The cancellation is a little surprising. The Mysteries of Laura held consistently decent ratings over the course of its second season, receiving an average of 1.11 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 6.973 million viewers.
NBC has also cancelled several of their series, including the freshman comedy Telenovela and the live sitcom Undateable.
What do you think? Did you watch The Mysteries of Laura? Are you sad it’s been cancelled?
Bad Move. One of the more enjoyable cop dramas — Debra Messing always fun to watch. Now we’ll never know if she goes back to her husband.
Sad NBC cancelled Mysteries of Laura. It had a good story line but with a twist of humor.
I am so mad that this is cancelled. It was entertaining & funny. Now we will never know what happens. Really loved this show!
Some other network would be smart to pick this show up. It’s blend of crime drama and humor works big time. I don’t know what NBC executive were thinking . . . Let me change that. NBC executives weren’t thinking. Unless Messing didn’t want to continue, there is no reason for the cancellation.
More and more viewers are not choosing shows from the “big four” networks because their shows lack creativity, and one comes along, they cancel it.
w\Why do networks cancel entertaining shows which are a joy to watch. I don’t understand their logic. I’m about ready to give up on network TV. I suppose they will add one more ridiculous sitcom.
I don’t understand their logic either and I posted a comment on Limitless being cancelled and said I have had it with Network TV.
I love Mysteries of Laura. I so badly wanted Laura and Jake back together.. I love Debra Messing as Laura. She was so funny. I ALSO saw they cancelled Nashville which has so many story lines that still need to be finished. So they are leaving with a cliff hanger and an unkown conclusions. Im so mad
I don’t understand why networks cancel perfectly good entertaining shows. Mysteries of Laura is awesome. We watched it every week.
I cannot believe NBC is cancelling the best show on TV. It had suspense, love,comedy and it really was a show that every one could watch. I don’t get it because now all the new programs are so stupid with humans changing into monsters and ugly creatures and more violence. This was one of the best show for everyone. I guess I just won’t watch NBC anymore.
You people are nuts for cancelling this one! No wonder everyone is watching anything but network TV
This is a great show. There is no reason to cancel it!
So sorry it was cancelled-it was one of very few shows I watched every week. Show plot left “Up in the Air”. I’m really unhappy with NBC!
Fantastic show. Shocked it was cancelled
I was shocked too, I really like this show a lot.
I never missed an episode of your show The Mysteries of Laura. Was actually shocked when cancelled
I’m getting so sick of them cancelling good shows! Why cancel something that is bringing in good ratings
I was extremely disappointed that this brilliant combination of wry wit,intelligent dialog and action was cancelled after just two seasons. I so looked forward to viewing it each week.
