For the first time, CBS has scheduled NCIS: Los Angeles on Monday nights — without strong lead-in NCIS and opposite The Blacklist and Castle. The show’s ratings declined last season. Will they fall further or miraculously start to grow? Cancelled or renewed for a seventh season? Stay tuned.
Based in the City of Angels, NCIS: Los Angeles follows the members of an elite division of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), one that specializes in undercover assignments. This drama stars Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah, Eric Christian Olsen, Barrett Foa, Renée Felice Smith, and Miguel Ferrer.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/12 update: CBS has renewed NCIS: Los Angeles for a seventh season.
Final season averages: 1.60 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.28 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The fifth season of NCIS: Los Angeles averaged a 2.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 14.84 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the NCIS: Los Angeles TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a seventh season?
LOVE this show!!! Don’t even think about canceling it!
One of the Very Best on TV – along with Hawaii-50!!!
AWESOME show! I agree that the 10 pm slot is terrible, and keep a consistent on new episodes! People get tired of being jacked around and expecting a new episode and then not getting one so they miss the next week! GO NCIS LA!!! Love them all and agree, I totally DVR all 3 series. Miss Ziva though on NCIS. Sorry Bishop.
Love love Ncis La …need to see more of “the thing ” between kinsey and deeks great chemistry. But love the whole cast they work so well together, Please please renew …still love Ncis but miss ziva and what she had with tony. We kinda have that with kinsey n deeks, give us new episodes every week not every other week!!! Hope to see another season….
One of the best shows on TV. Should definitely be renewed.
NCIS LA is one of the best shows on TV. However the studio execs like to switch time and days to leave people scrambling to find thier shows. Blame ratings on the fact that we can never find where the heck our shows are.
Stop ******** with days and times and ratings will soar.
Renewing this show should not even be a question. One of the best shows on television.
It’s not just the best but the best of all the best. It should be renewed . I can’t wait to see NCIS LA Season 7.
Renew NCIS Los Angeles. Love the NCIS franshise. I watch or record all of them.
I couldn’t agree more. They’ve gotten better and better through each new season, and isn’t that what it’s all about? Now, they can honestly say that they have the best NCIS team. You go NCIS LA!!!!!! C’m CBS…… Face it! Los Angeles team is #1 for they don’t need a “Gibbs” to fall on. They just know what to do. Tony, from NCIS, is lazy and disgusting. New Orleans is just plain “junk”.
Keep it going, one of the best! In the UK so desperate for new season to release on DVD
Keep it going! It’s not far the ratings drop with the time change! It’s the best of the NCIS franchise!
I totally agree…… its almost like CBS sets up successful show like NCiS LA to fail so they can make a new one popular. It made it through the change from Monday to Sunday…..so why change the time again. Its a great show….. why does CBS make a change when there isn’t a problem?
one of besT shows on TV. Keep it on air
Please keep NCIS LA Going! Seriously Addicted. It Should Never Have been Bumped For New Orleans …… Why?Very Loyal To The NCIS Franchise. The Original Has Lost It’s Mojo Since Ziva Left But I Still Watch. New Orleans I Watch Out of Habit and Loyalty to The NCIS Family But Wouldn’t Be Upset if I Missed an Episode and in NZ It’s Been Renegated to One Of The Lesser Popular Channels.
I really like ncis la . It took a while to get used to different day but I record it just so I won’t miss a show. I don’t want it cancelled
I think NCIS Los Angeles should be continued. It is on past my bedtime but I tape it to watch later that week. I thought it had been discontinued as there seemed to be a number of reruns, but since I have found out it is still going, I will be taping it again.
I like the whole crew, especially Hetty.
I think it should be renewed because NCIS LOS ANGELES is one of the BEST TV series currently existing but they should put it back in the original day and time.Throw NCIS New Orleance on mondays it SUCKS anyway
NCIS LA is the best of the NCIS group. I love the play between the actors in NCIS LA. They can cancel NCIS New Orleans. I agree with Linda above on that. I watch the recorded version of NCIS LA on Comcast Xfinity. Does that count in the stats? If not, the stats can’t be trusted, as most of my friends are watching recorded versions of most shows. I love all the characters on this show. There is no other show where I like ALL the characters. They must run more seasons of NCIS LA; I’m sure the writers have… Read more »
Hey Carol,
Here’s a pretty good explanation of what you’re asking.

I totally agree!!! Love NCIS Los Angeles better than any of the NCIS series. Why? Because w/out Gibbs, NCIS is useless. And NCIS New Orleans sucks! They ride on Mark Harmon’s behind. Also love HAWAII 50. Gosh darn, they are the two best dramas I continue to watch!!! Especially now, NCIS Los Angeles has gotten better and better and now is the best!!! C’mn CBS!!!!! Wake up!!!!;
Please cancel this trash. Hate Deeks and kensi. The writing is bad
