It’s going to be a little harder for fans of NCIS: Los Angeles to find their TV show this season. CBS has moved the series to Sunday nights, an evening when start times are often delayed because of football game overruns. How will this move affect the ratings? Will the series be cancelled or renewed for a ninth season? Stay tuned.
NCIS: Los Angeles follows the the high-stakes NCIS division that’s charged with apprehending elusive criminals that pose a threat to the nation’s security. By assuming false identities and utilizing advanced technology, the highly trained agents go deep undercover, putting their lives on the line to bring down their targets. This drama stars Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, Barrett Foa, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen, Miguel Ferrer, Renée Felice Smith, and Linda Hunt.

Please do not cancel NCIS: LA, it is our families favorite show. However, we would like to see it on another night than Sunday. It constantly gets numbed due to award or special shows.
I really enjoy this show! I hate the new time. It’s a pain having to go to on demand to watch the show because the show before it gets to air in its entirety. Please change it to another night.

Hello Kathy, we both are big fans of NCIS LA. I think you refeer to my last post about the ratings. I just don’t understand why al of the sudden the ratings dropped to levels around 1.00 (demo) and the viewers number around the 9 mio. I checked the ratings because they are a vital part of the proces of renewing or cancelling the show. Thank god we both pleased the show has been renewed for a 9th season.

Those ratings are acting like a rollercoaster. Up and down.
Wow, nice ratings….keep up the good work.
Yes!!! Thank you so much for renewing my most favorite TV show! I just love everything about this show 🙂 Yes, the time slot is not the greatest, but I will follow it to any day and any time! I would also watch any reruns as well.
love, love, love this show no matter where it is…more of Hetty, pls
YES, AWESOME!!!!! Season Nine is coming!!
Please don’t cancel! Time slot should be better…maybe in place of Bull or another evening at 9. Also, reruns should air at a reasonable time on USA like NCIS and Law&Order…this would help solidify the show.
Please do not cancel NCIS LA. This is my favorite TV show. I’m addicted . Lol I would like to see reruns of past shows also.
NCIS LA is a great show. Terrific cast with amazing energy. Needs to be returned to a more popular time. It would be a loss to cancel the series.
the problem is they take long breaks in the middle of seasons, they dont air episodes due to award shows etc and then people dont know when to watch… it kills shows when the do this
Let’s hope ratings wil increas again, towards the end of the season.
Oh men, those ratings a seriously dropping. This is not Good.
Keep NCIS L.A. for many more seasons, it`s great.
