After a long and very successful run, TNT has decided to end Rizzoli & Isles so there’s no danger of the series being cancelled. How will the ratings be in the final season? Should there be an eighth season or is the timing right to end the series? Stay tuned.
Rizzoli & Isles revolves around the unlikely but highly effective partnership of police detective Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and medical examiner Doctor Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander). Lorraine Bracco, Jordan Bridges, Bruce McGill, Adam Sinclair, and Idara Victor co-star.

What do you think? Do you like watching the Rizzoli & Isles TV series on TNT? Do you think it should be ending? Would you watch season eight?
My husband and I are very upset that TNT decided to cancel Roselli and Isles. One of the better programs on TV. Funny, well directed and always interesting episodes. Why would a program with good reviews be cancelled??
I’m 56 and I watch the show and all the re-runs,I find it very entertaining and the other people on the show are getting better every show,and to be honest the shows that are on now aren’t that good and won;t last like animal house or what ever it is , shows with drugs just don’t last period so keep this one for a change and shove rest down the drain.
Please don’t cancel, this is my favorite show ever, I’m 56 and a lot of my friends watch and love this show, it’s our time to relax, kids in bed spouse in bed, please don’t end it.

I really enjoy the show. Right now the condition that Dr isles has is one a friend has that most people don’t know about. They don’t have to rehash and rehash what is going on in the world. They are a family that loves and cares about each other and survive difficult situations.
Please have a season 8. What a nice show.
One of the best shows on tv ! I hate that it is going off!!! I do not pretend to understand how ratings work. To me, it seems every channels copies whatever they think is working on other channels so there is no variety. Rizzoli and Isles is one of the few that stood out from every other station as something different and entertaining. If there is any chance, please reconsider
My family & I look forward to seeing Rizzoli and Isles. It has been a huge disappointment since hearing it was going to be cancelled & do not understand why all of the Networks continue to cancel the good shows and put more reality shows on. The amount of television that I watch now has been cut down more then half from what it was 2 years ago, and all due to cancellations !!!! Please , please, please reconsider and keep Rizzoli and Isles on and let it go on into Seasons 8, 9, 10 etc !!!!!! We all need… Read more »
Love the show!
I have seen every episode. Love the cast! Keep it on the air !
I love the show. I will love to see an eight year season.
I hope this season of Rizzoli and Isles and continuing to new seasons in the future must stay on until the final season. I want this show be like ‘Bones’ because they are running in season twelfth. Why don’t Rizzoli and Isles have a chance like Bones? I want them to stay tuned until we are satisfied with our series of Rizzoli and Isles. Leave Rizzoli and Isles alone and let them stay on TNT forever.
I absolutely love this show! Why would you not renew a show because you do not want to leave it on to face cancellation? Makes no sense at all. I wait all winter for summer to arrive so I can watch this amazing show with an amazing cast. PLEASE reconsider. This show is fantastic, one of the best on TV. I HATE reality TV, most talk shows, game shows, soon that will be all that is on, I want to watch good quality shows like “Rizzoli and Isles.” No NOT take this show off, please renew it for it’s cast… Read more »
The station doesn’t want to pay for the show anymore Mike and Gina B. You pay for it. Of course we would like it to continue, but the network wants to try something new. I’m also positive that Angie Harmon’s and Sasha Alexander’s contracts are up, and they don’t work cheap. Perhaps you would like to help pay for the show? I didn’t think so either
TNT doesn’t pay for it either, the advertisers do and being No. 2 in the ratings, second only to Game of Thrones, even after being cancelled, would continue to certainly drawer plenty of them and be enough to pay the cast that drawer those viewers. It’s the Circle of Life!!!
True. Which leads to the question what are they thinking canceling their best show. In 5 weeks when the show ends so does my viewing of this network, they have canceled all the shows I watched and I’m not willing to give then another chance. Time to find something else to do before bedtime on Monday.
Did you say #2 in ratings? It averaged a 0.58 in live ratings WHICH ISN’T EVEN CLOSE to Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Empire, NCIS, Big Bang Theory, Fear the Walking Dead, Law & Order SVU, Criminal Minds, ALL 3 Chicago Shows, and probably at least 35 other shows.
Big mistake taking this interesting and fun series .What is the station thinking? Guess they want more scripted REALITY shows cheaper to produce. Some network get smart and pick up this show .
I sure am going to miss this show…. wonderful characters and great stories.
TNT is making a huge mistake by cancelling Rizzoli & Isles. There aren’t many shows on television today, that make you laugh, cry and think all at the same time. It sends a message to folks my age (57) we’re not wanted, so after this season is complete, my viewing of TNT will be limited to Major Crimes, until they decided to cancel that show too and replace it with more gratuitous sex and violence, yeah, just what we need!!
i agree gina and im 50
I agree. If advertisers also paid attention to adult purchasing power they might learn we have a lot to say too. TNT and USA are cancelling the good shows and viewers are leaving.
