What do you think? Do you still like the Necessary Roughness TV series? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Ilove love love Necessary Roughness. It is soo darned good. I have been a Danico fan for the last two seasons, and an thrilled that they finally realized they love each other. I also need to know what happened to C Mack. Did he get a conscience or what? Also need to know what happens with Dani and Nico. He says there are lots of things about him that Dani should know. I’d like to know too. I’d also like to see where they relationship goes. Great cast! Great story line. Keeps me wanting more week after week. PLEASE DON’T… Read more »
I love Necessary Roughness – especially now that Dani and Nico have finally gotten together!!!!!!!! Please renew it for Season 4!!! It’s a super show with great, compelling characters and I look forward to seeing it each week. If I can’t be home to watch it I make sure to tape it. Please don’t cancel this terrific show! Thanks!!
Loved the show until Stamos came on and ruined the concept. Love Dani and Nikos as love interests. Will really miss TK
I like the show Iwould like to see a season 4.
This show rocks, please renew.
I loved the storyline with matt & dani and was unhappy wben he left. Hated the jerk who was connor’s v3 partner. Can’t imagine dani getting along with the woman conner put in charge now so wonder if dani will seek a new job again. Callie thorne is a strong female character who fights for her patients but is insecure in her private life. Fun to watch
I love this show. It took three seasons to get Dani and Nico together. I want to know what happens with them and with V3!
love the show and really hope they renew for season 4
I agree, I love this show. I hate when a show is cancelled because it doesn’t have blockbuster ratings, and it really seems that whoever does the ratings, doesn’t have a clue! Who do they count anyway? It really seems that there are faithful viewers that will always tune in, or like me, DVR the show, and watch it the next day! …please keep Necessity Roughness! !
I have loved Necessary Roughness since the pilot, as I have with most USA Network original series. It has such a unique content in a very captivating format. It has been an incredible experience to watch such an engaging drama with such a talented and gifted cast. The unique storylines (not every person with psychiatric or psychological problems is a serial killer) and the possibility of recovery or treatment makes this show very distinctive . I believe this show truely embraces the trancendent nature of the USA Network and Character’s Unite format despite the lack of impressive ratings. Please renew… Read more »
Love this show I DVR this so I don’t miss it.
Maybe viewership was down from season two, but the numbers at least look like they were consistent throughout the season. I love this show. I hate when a show is cancelled because it doesn’t have blockbuster ratings. There are faithful viewers that will always tune in. Besides – I want to know what it is that Dani needs to learn about Nico.
I Love Necessary Roughness .. have watched it from the the beginning.
I hope USA doesn’t become like the prime networkpleases and take away good shows once we become invested in the characters.Please keep Necessity Roughness! !
I love the show Necessary Roughness. It always has a great story. Please keep this show going, it is really a good show. Have a Great Season
I love the show Necessary Roughness. I do not understand why you got rid of some of the original cast. My favorite on the show is Mark Blucas. I do not care very much for John Stamos. Please keep this show going, it is really a good show. Thank you.
