The ratings for NCIS dropped last season but the series remained the most-watched TV show on network television. While there seems to be no chance of NCIS being cancelled, shows do get more expensive the longer they’re on the air and this one’s been around a long time. Could this be the final season or is a 13th season renewal all-but guaranteed? Stay tuned.
On NCIS, Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and his team of special agents continue to investigate crimes that involve the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Co-stars are Emily Wickersham, Michael Weatherly, Sean Murray, David McCallum, Pauley Perrette, Rocky Carroll, and Brian Dietzen.
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.
5/11 update: To no surprise, CBS has renewed NCIS for a 13th season.
Final season averages: 2.43 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 17.26 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 11th season of NCIS averaged a 2.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 18.5 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 TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a 13th season? How long should it continue?
The dialogue is forced and the show does not capture my interest as much. Tuesday night viewing is no longer as exciting as before; the show that I now like the most on a Tuesday is Person of Interest.
april 28 2015 the ncis show was one of the wrost one that they have ever done. this makes no since to do a show that bad.there was no action, it was just bad.please bring back ziva.it was that you never left the tv because you could miss something great. but now it is a joke. this is what you are going to have people watching. no wonder your numbers are down. go back to the old things that made the show great.
NCIS is the BEST !!! I love all of the actors ! My husband and I never miss an episode even if it’s a rerun!! We record all of the shows!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DONT CANCELL NCIS ! It is an obsession in our house! Every body needs a code to live by!
NCIS Should take a good run a the Law and Order series. I can watch this show all day! I can see this show setting a record for seasons and episodes. I would say 18 seasons. But I would like to see it beat Gunsmoke and L&O at 21 seasons!
ratings are starting to drop, NCIS will be off the air within 3 years, I would guess
Miss Iva but still watch every episode also will watch the reruns
Ncis für immer Staffel 13,14,15…. mit allen Schauspielern
long for the days of a beautiful female boss.
NCIS is our familes favorite show. We always keep a few episodes on our DVR,for those nights when even with hundreds of channels, nothing we like is on. We like to watch ALL the NCIS’s at least twice,because we always catch stuff we missed on the first viewing.
Tuesday was a night that no one would miss tv to watch ncis. but now we fine are self watching other things.i feel that I ziva would come back the numbers would come back up.it was the way that she would try to say something and get It wrong. she would have everyone going nuts laughing an cracking up.she is well missed .she helped everyone do a better job.they make a great team that will be around for a long time if she comes back
have watched it since day 1 but I think Bishop stinks and cannot watch her horrible acting and bad character. Get rid of her! Anyone else would have been better>
renew already!!!!!!!!
Bishop stinks I have all the ncis dvd but I will not get the series with bishop in them or watch reruns with her in them. I’ll just go an watch old reruns with out her.
I feel the same way she is not the one for this show.
since she has been on, NCIS has hit several series LOWS. she is NOT bringing in the younger demo and is causing older viewers to tune out ( that and the horrible story lines / writing)
I stopped watching the show because Bishop is still in the show. If she leaves, I will start watching again.
she is rather cute.
I doubt if Bishop stays on the show it will matter to me. I have lost interest in these last two seasons. I miss the Ziva character, her story and how she interacted with the rest of the characters. The show is not as good.
I love watching ncis but like loads of others feel its better with ziva. Some charisma is missing
I’ve been a fan since Gibbs first appeared on 2 episodes of JAG, introducing his character. I have never missed SINGLE episode and am always impressed how well the program writing continues to impress and the actors carrying out those words keep us coming back weekly. True destination commercial television My hope is they continue till either the actors decide to call it in or the viewership drops so low there is no point continuing. What the case, I really hope the current cast remains in tack. I’m amazed AND overjoyed that David McCallum–now in his 80’s–continues to be part… Read more »
NCIS is the best show on television—always has been! I hope it stays on the air until the entire cast passes away!
