The rookies of NYC 22 won’t be honing their police skills on CBS much longer. The network has cancelled the cop series before the entire season has finished airing.
NYC 22 follows a half dozen police men and women as they learn the ropes in the Big Apple. The ensemble cast includes Adam Goldberg, Leelee Sobieski, Stark Sands, Judy Marte, Harold House Moore, Felix Solis, Tom Reed, and Terry Kinney.
Debuting on April 15th, in (now-cancelled) CSI: Miami’s former timeslot, NYC 22 attracted a disappointing 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.86 million viewers. The second episode dropped 7% and the third fell 14% more. Last Sunday night’s episode maintained a 1.2 in the demo and 6.87 million.
It was clear from the start that this new show was doomed to be cancelled.
The series currently averages a 1.3 rating in the all-important demo with 7.67 million viewers. On our CBS Ratings Report Card, which measures the relative demo performance of TV shows on the network, NYC 22 has an “F” grade. It’s the lowest-rated scripted show currently on the network.
The Tiffany network ordered 13 installments of NYC 22 and, for the foreseeable future, they’ll continue to air on Sunday nights.
What do you think? Are you going to miss NYC 22? Do you think it should have been renewed for season two?
The first episode was ok, but IM not-so HO, it has gotten better with each succeeding show. Last night’s episode, in which Jerry was killed, is what made me look for more informaton about the show. It is one of the more intelligent shows with a wonderful cast, diverse in more than ethnicity!
Why are you canceling NYC 22? It is far better than Rescue Me. Keep it.
please bring back NYC 22. It is a great show
I hated to find out NYC22 hyas been cancelled. I loved the show. BRING IT BACK PLEASE!
I cannot believe your cancelling NYC22!! Its an amazing show, that’s real, suspenceful, and heart warming. The characters are great and the behind the scenes stories of their lives are even interesting. A great addition to the line up. Your ratings have to be wrong, or you ran it during another time where season finaleies were going on! Its a great show, that you started at the wrong time. Its the the shows fault. You ALWAYS cancel the good ones
Why cancel this show? It’s a great theme and has the ability to keep viewers entertained. I like it as well or better than most police shows. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!
I can’t believe CBS has cancelled NYC22. It is a GREAT show with intellegent writing and talented cast. PLEASE, PLEASE renew this show.
Please bring back NYC22, we love the characters, they are all different in their own way.
How NYC 22 gets cancelled and Rookie Blue stays on the air is beyond my way of thinking. Bring it back!!!
NYC 22 is am amazing show!!! They need to keep this show going!!! It reminds me of third watch. Honestly if networks keep canceling shows like this people will stop watching these networks. They don’t have a lot of great cop shows out there now and this could be a great one! Please, please, please keep this show at least for a few more seasons.
i enjoy this show a lot, i think it’s very well crafted, i look forward to watching it. it’s one of my favorites. i’m not in the most coveted demographic so i guess my opinion doesn’t mean much. I’m sad to see this show go, i’m glad to still have more episodes to watch, very entertaining, i don’t know why more people didn’t take to watching it but i’m guessing it had to do with the time slot.
Please keep this show, the stories are great, it needs a second chance!
Please save this show! Take it to another network. Everyone knows the three major networks (ABC, NBC, and CBS) are only interested in money making reality series. They’re cheaper to produce and rake in millions from advertising to stuff down the throats of inane couch potatoes who haven’t had an original thought or ambitious thought in decades! Thank goodness for TNT, A&E, USA, SyFy,Lifetime, and other FREE channels whose executives realize there are a few viewers out here who aren’t brain-dead zombies!
Heck yes! I agree whole heartedly. This is a great show. I’m so sick of the good ones being kicked off! They say the tiffany channel has 13 episodes. What’s the tiffany channel? Anyway, I agree, and a pat on the back for what you wrote
This was good show,they should try giving it another season and see what happens.
Give the show one more season and see what happen!!!
