NCIS LA is great. Please keep this show on the air. each character in this show is great , especially Daniela Ruah (Kensi Blye).
I love NCIS LA its a brillaint show and i am avid fan of both LA and NCIS , never miss an episode . Keep it going season on season . Love the characters especially the on going banter between Kensi and Deeks , love Chris O’Donnell
I love NCIS la soooo much. It is a twist on the original NCIS and its so new and fresh. I love both NCIS shows because they are both so different from one another. They are not trying to be the same. So keep the show itsso amazing don’t lose faith in it I love it!!!!!!!!!
CBS Is Preparing To Cancel NCIS & NCIS Los Angeles. There are a lot of good jobs for the people who are making these following the ending of both of them. Nothing lasts forever. Get Over It!
please renew this series, great plot and great and great actors !
Any show that is doing over 15 million viewers on average is not going to get cancelled. It is a good show, and will long outlast any competition that is based on demo numbers, but much smaller audiences numbers. Five years from now NCIS LA will still be on.
I love this show! Keep this on the air. The cast and story lines of bits and pieces of everyone’s past keep this fresh and interesting. And Hettie is the bomb! The action and the sense that the cast all work well together makes this show a keeper. Keep NCIS: LA on the air!!!
Please keep this show. the cast and caracters are great!
I love this show. I care about the characters. If this show is cancelled it confirms that the only shows worth watching Are on the premium channels without commercials. The original one is great. This one is different in great way. The fact that New girl is a threat shows how ridiculous the viewers you track are. Change the timeslot if it’s a concern. Don’t cancel the show. LLcool J and callen , Hettie, deems make the show
NCIS:LA – Please keep this show on the air. It is one my favourite. Chris O’Donnell is amazing.
I love this show – and love Chris O’Donnell and Linda Hunt characters.
Keep this show. Cancel all reality shows because they suck.
I love NCIS:LA for being so different from the original NCIS. I wanted to love NCIS (heck yeah, Michael Weatherly, and the young woman who plays Abby!), but I could never get into it; meanwhile, I immediately fell in love with NCIS:LA. Ce’la vie. I don’t watch any Law and Order (except Criminal Minds when Jeff Goldblum was on it!) and the only CSI I watch is CSI:NY. Another case of the spin-off being better than the original, in my opinion. I hope they continue it.
I like NCIS: LA better than the original NCIS. I was bored with NCIS the last two seasons and rarely watched it. Shane Brennan created a great new show.
I would have canceled NCIS: Los Angeles in a heartbeat. It doesn’t have the feel of the original NCIS. While many people may applaud that (the two shows having a different feel), it never sat well with me, just as I hated all of the CSI and Law and Order spinoffs.
