If you need proof that The Firm is doomed to be cancelled by NBC, you just have to look at the show’s ratings. Not only did the new legal series bomb on Thursday nights but it’s currently being trounced on Saturday nights as well — airing opposite CSI: New York repeats, 20/20, and FOX’s forgotten Q’Viva! The Chosen reality series.
The ratings for The Firm have been so poor that one had to start wondering if NBC might bump the series off the Saturday schedule as well. Well, that’s what they’re doing — at least for one week.
This week’s episode of The Firm has been replaced by a rerun of the 90-minute premiere of Fashion Star (which debuts tonight). That will be followed by an encore of the first episode of Betty White’s Off Their Rockers, which first aired in January. Rockers returns to the NBC schedule on April 4th.
On March 24th, NBC has slotted an episode of the USA Network series Fairly Legal at 8pm, a slot that had been filled by reruns of Smash. The network hasn’t announced which episode of Fairly Legal will air but the season two opener (which will run this Friday on USA) seems likely.
The network is shaking up their Saturday night schedule and if they can come up with better numbers than what The Firm has been getting, the legal drama could easily be off the schedule for good. NBC has aired just 10 of the show’s 22 episodes thus far.
What do you think? Are you still watching NBC’s The Firm? Do you watch the episodes on Saturday nights, on demand or online? Would you be upset if NBC pulled it for good?

Love the show, Please show all the episodes!
We love this show. We never miss it. Our college kids love it, too. It is one of the few quality shows on TV. The actors are great, the story is exciting. DON’T CANCEL IT!
My husband and I love The Firm. Please don’t cancel the show….
I love the Firm and it gets better each week. Has it been canceled? Say it isn’t so.
This show rocks! I love all the twist and turns. It’s a story inside of a story. I sucks that networks don’t give shows a decent chance. I hope is gets picked up by anyone for a second season.
It is a great show and Wednesday or Tuesday would be a good place for it.
Great show! put it on monday or tuesday night. there is nothing worth watching those nights. just dont put it on thursday against mentalist and per of interest. Firm is a great show but i record it and watch it a dif night since it is on sat right now
My husband and I watch THE FIRM religiously…we are quite perplexed as to the status of may be cancelled. What a great and intriguing story line, with light humor, and attention to detail. Thanks for allowing viewers to express their feeling about this program.
THE FIRM FANS!
Awesome show!!!! It better be not be cancelled!
KEEP IT!! It is So much better than most of the Trash on TV! No wonder it is failing- Sat night? Give me a break- It is doomed!
Amazing show idk y anyone would want 2 cancel it
We have not missed an episode and look forward to watching the Tivo on Sunday evenings right before we watch 60 minutes while getting the house ready for the coming week. It quickly became one of our regular 1st picks from the “Now Showing” on the list on TIVO. It is fun, believable, and hold your attention. Please don’t cancel it.
What is up with the experts. This show is awesome. It has a great cast and is full of excitement. It was placed on the line up without consideration. Thursday night is a tough night to break. There a lot of good shows on that people watch: The Practice, Grace Anatomy,
Then they schedule it on Saturday. Who is home watching TV on Saturday night?
Give them a break.
Keep the show . It gets my vote!!
We just watched episodes 10 thru 14 back to back. We had watched all of the other episodes each week as they come on. We decided to watch these episodes consecutively because we them recorded. We don’t usually watch tv on Saturday nights. We really enjoy the show, the storyline and the actors. We hope the network will give it another chance on a week night other than Thursdays.
Thanks
James Ketner
My husband and I recorded this show and just recently got around to watching it….it is FANTASTIC! We are hooked and would hate to see this show cancelled…..
