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This week’s episode of The Firm has been replaced by a rerun of the 90-minute premiere of Fashion Star (which debuts tonight).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

Pleaseee don’t cancel 🙁
Luv this show!!
Really love The Firm as do most of my friends. Don’t understand where the poor ratings. Hope znBC doesn’t cancel it.
Really like this show. It is not for the lazy, though. It requires thought and is extremely entertaining. I vote to keep it on!!!
I love the show I hope it stays…I loved the show awake to but it got cancelled.
I think this show got much better as it went on. Once they stopped all those confusing “flashbacks” it got really good. Too bad they cancelled it.
Best show EVER!!!!!!!
We love The Firm don’t cancel. We DVR
My husband and I LOVe this show. It is fast moving and thrilling. I hope the powers that be do not cancel it. Thot it was beginning again on June 16th ????
The firm is the one of the best series on TV. If they pull it I will extremely disappointed. We have so much JUNK on the air that this show was a breath of fresh air. Great cast and content.
I love this show. It is the best show on NBC. I hope it has not been canceled. I DVR this show and have just finished Season One.
Great show, sorry to hear it maybe cancelled and yes, not made for morons.
Love The Firm! It keeps a great pace, interesting plot lines, likeable characters, twists and turns in the story line, sex, what more could you ask for? That’s probably the problem – that it’s not made for morons. NBC should give it another chance or sell it to an indie like FX.
really enjoyed the show. too bad it’s schedule was so screwed up. couldn’t count on it showing. would watch if it came on a regular intervals. poor scheduling for any of the good shows that nbc showed. even hard to keep up with grimm……………
So I guess people only want to watch vampire & witches’ series. Come on! This is the real world. The Firm is as good as it gets in the real world!
Quite dissapoited that the firm has been cancelled. enjoyed it but schedule was not good, never knew when it would be on & good thing for ON Demand!!!
We love The Firm and want to see it continue. We tape the show and watch at our convenience. Please, please NBC do not cancel the show. Can’t imagine not being able to watch all 22 episodes.
