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This week’s episode of The Firm has been replaced by a rerun of the 90-minute premiere of Fashion Star (which debuts tonight).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?

I have watched “The Firm” and MISS it not being on.
We absolutely love The Firm. Its different than all the CSI s. Poor decision to cancel!
My wife and I love the Firm; we record it for later viewing. We certainly hope they don’t cancel it. The drama and pace of the show keep us glued to the screen!
We love this show. Wish they would give it more time.
This is one of the only shows my husband and I agree on and LOVE watching every week! We just set the DVR and watch it when we have time so I don’t care what night it comes on – just don’t want to see it cancelled!!
Love The Firm and all the people on it….real upset to see it go. I don’t think it got a fair amout of advertising as a new show 🙁
Our whole family’s favorite. Hate to see it go. Wrong move.
It’s one of my favorite shows!
I love The Firm. Please don’t cancel.
Please keep The Firm. I love it. It started a bit slow but has gotten really good.
Really like The Firm. Watch it on Hulu because I’m never sure when it will air.
This is one of the most gripping edge of the seat legal drama’s i have watched for many a year. Please keep this show on the air i don’t watch much TV these days as most things especially reality nonsense is dull and uneventful, so please re-consider.
LOVE this show. Im on the edge of my seat the whole show!! LOVE IT? LOVE IT!!!
BEST SHOW ON ALL WEEK!!!!! I could watch it daily!!!!!!!
Been trying to find out when the show will air again! You keep changing it NBC no wonder it lost viewers! It is the best mystery show on TV! Finally one that isn’t,t cops and robbers and you want to drop it? Another stupid move NBC!
Everytime a really good show comes out, like The Firm, you guys allways dump it.
