Now in its sixth season, Rizzoli & Isles has long been a top-rated show for TNT. The numbers came down last year but it was still the cable channel’s best performer. Will the ratings continue to fall? How long can this series realistically run? Cancelled or renewed for season seven? We’ll have to wait and see.
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, and Bruce McGill co-star.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like watching the Rizolli & Isles TV series on TNT? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a seventh season?
GREAT SHOW !!!!
It’s time to let it all go. If there is a Season 7, I am betting it will be the last. I think Sasha is bored anyway. I was a huge fan, I still watch every now an then but not faithfully. I still haven’t watched all of Season 5 yet. Somewhere around the middle of Season 4, the story lines just seemed the same to me. Someone is murdered, with a bat of her eyelash, Jane has figured it all out with a clue she snatched out of thin air, bad guy caught, Rinse and repeat. Can you say… Read more »
TCP, to each his/her own. I still love the show and characters and hope they continue for a few more seasons. If you are bored, there are umpteen OTHER choices to choose and enjoy. Leave the show to those of us who DO still like it.
Roselli and Isles I love the show I know the radius will go up TNT has got to keep the series running it is a great cop shows as got a lot of heart to it and it is a top number one in my opinion and should be renewed for another season besides the one that is running now
Count me as another fan of Rizzoli & Isles. The family interaction and humor bits show the affection among the team. One thing I don’t like is the portrayal of Frankie as a tired, hang-dog cop with cotton in his mouth. I don’t know who suggested Jordan Bridges adopt that personality, but somebody needs to fess up to it being a bad idea. Maybe Mom can tell him to stand up straight and quit trying to act like he’s been on the job for 50 years. I hope the series is on for several more seasons…maybe Sasha’s Mother in Law… Read more »
Still can’t get enough of the always smokin’ HOT Angie Harmon (wolf whistle).
Love Rizzoli & Isles…. they need to explore some of the other characters, too.
I wish they would concentrate more on just the 2 leads, I get really sick of all of the screen time devoted to Frankie and Mama R. and the stories revolving around or including so much of them. This is the season opener and it is about Frankie, I just really didn’t care and was pretty bored throughout the episode. You would think with as few a number of shows they do each season they could mostly center around the leads not a B character, and a season opener that starts out like this makes me less enthusiastic to watch… Read more »
Still fun, but too much Rizzoli family, and not enough of Isles.
Rizzoli and Isles is one of my favorite shows. I’ve read all the books which are great. I look forward to the show each season so I sure hope the show continues.
Don’t et Rizzoli and Isles be another one of those shows that they just take off just because of the ratings. It’s quite amusing and yes it’s intriguing mystery but it’s a great show. I really do not want to see any more of these great shows taken off and smarmy reality and dark ugly bloody shows are being put on in their place. I tape my shows because I work and I watch them later. f how many people are actually watching and not being counted? Keep it on!!
I love the show … I believe it’s got a few more seasons left. Of course I’ve said the same about other shows that got axed. It’s up to the viewers to keep the “numbers” up, let’s get busy … My opinion … thanks …
I LOVE Rizzoli & Isles, the two lead women AND the rest of the great cast. We have been watching this show since Day One and will continue for as long as they air it- hopefully MANY MORE seasons to come. Ditto for Major Crimes as well.
Might be interesting to see if there’s any gain from Alexander’s appearances on Shameless.
I am so glad it’s back on the air Iook forward
to watch the tv show every week it is one
of my best tv show
I really like Rizzoli and Isles, the acting and interaction of the characters is excellent. I always made sure I was able to watch Rizzoli & Isles and Perception. Both outstanding shows in their own right.
I’m so glad it’s back on the air I look forward to watching it every week it’s one of the best shows on the air and it is great
