Last year, despite being harder to find (thanks to varying football game times), the NCIS: Los Angeles TV show earned just about the same demo numbers it did in the year prior, while its total viewership increased by over 17%. Not too many shows grow like that, this far into the game. Can it continue on that track in the ninth season? Will NCIS: Los Angeles be cancelled or renewed for season 10? Stay tuned.
A military police procedural, NCIS: Los Angeles stars Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen, Barrett Foa, Renée Felice Smith, and Nia Long. The CBS action drama centers on the high-stakes NCIS division charged with apprehending those elusive criminals who threaten the nation’s security. Working undercover with advanced technology, these highly trained agents readily risk their lives to bring down their targets.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Take nia off cast of ncis la
Nia Long has to go. She ruins the show. Tried to watch the season ender and she was terrible.
I think they should keep the show going and definitely not end it they way they did! This is a great show. Not only do I watch but my husband and children watch it too along with my parents and siblings. Please keep it going!!!
love this show but mostley needs to go
I ship Densi. Deeks and Kensi must survive.I can’t wait for Mosley to either die or get shifted to some other unit.Also probably she should just resign to spend more time with her son(She must go one way or the other).The season was poorly written .I want the writers to step up their game next season.
I agree that Nia Long has to go .She simply can’t act and her character’s attitude this whole season has been pathetic(especially the season finale ).I did like Harley’s character though and I wish she survives.I don’t want any of the main characters to die.This cliffhanger is annoying me.I would love to see more of Hetty,she is a real gem and takes the show to a whole new level.Also I enjoy Densi and would love to see their wedding but I hope the writers tone down the cheesy ,corny dialogues for Deeks,Kensi.Nell and Eric are adorable.Hope no one other than… Read more »
Nia Long has to go. She can’t act. The season finale was a big flop.
bad way to end season, even though i like Nia Long she was a terrible adition she needs to go and Deeks needs to be reinstated at NCIS and he has been with NCIS for 9 years he should be made officially NCIS not LAPD anymore
what a terrible season ending episode. the acting was over the top and bloated, the writing was juvenile and stupid, the show gets axed from my dvr
Please get rid of Mosley. Nia Long can’t act; rather she smugly struts around in each scent. I’m tired of seeing her cleavage and skin tight outfirs. She is taking this show down. Please find a better actor/actress to replace her. She is ruining the show.
This show is getting more and more difficult to watch. Please get Mosley better dialogue or get another actress to deliver it. She is miserable to watch. There is too much drama – I thought this was an action show. If I want to watch the junk that I saw tonight I can go back to Grays Anatomy which I stopped watching long ago.
I completely agree with Rebecca. This show has changed for the worse and I would like to see it return to its original concept. But Nia has to go as well.
Move it back to 8 pm please. Thank goodness they renewed it.
