As fans of The Firm may have noticed, the cancelled legal drama was bumped from the schedule once again last Saturday night. As a result, NBC has adjusted their schedule and delayed the final four episodes by one week each.
If you watch the show via Hulu, you may have already seen the 19th episode. A note on the streaming website says, “Due to a programming error, Chapter 19 went up earlier than intended. We apologize for the error – it will become available again this weekend.”
You can see the revised airdates below, as well as brief episode descriptions:

What do you think? Are you still watching The Firm? Do you think that they’ll wrap everything up by the end of the season/series?
I hope DVRing is accounted for when you get ratings. In this busy day and age, DVRing is more common than watching live. The Firm was a great show that deserves a 2nd season.
It really really sucks that a great show like the Firm is ending. But it’s not surprising, every time a great show comes along, the big people on top decide to cancel it!!! I think all the viewers of the Firm should make a lot of noise and convince those who are in charge to keep the show going. The last episode didn’t really seem like the end…
Its a shame quality doesn’t count on TV –
Lets have another House wifes show or something
thought provoking like that…. Thanks for nothing NBC …
You damned this show from the start. Put your best show
on at 9 or 10 pm on a Saturday night, and no one would watch that
either.
Who is making the decisions on canceled shows????This was the best new show in a long time, and it will be missed.
It’s true, what a disappointment to see the show end. Then to throw gas on the fire they end it with a cliff hanger like there will be another season. What a tease. NBC, who’s gathering your ratings? Obviously not the people watching. This was a very good show, coming from someone who watches a fair amount of programs. It was at least good for another season. Besides how many good ratings do you get from a program like this on a Saturday night. If it wasn’t for recording my favorites I wouldn’t have watched it either. If fact I… Read more »
Please find a way to continue this excellent show. I watch very few tv shows and this was one of them. You leave us with a cliffhanger — come on, wrap this up with another season.
great show, nbc is stupid for canceling. there must have been a problem with public relations for the ratings to be as low as they apparently were, maybe the best show on tv !
Very disappointed NBC is not planning to bring back The Firm. I have really enjoyed the show. With all the garbage reality shows on it a shame a good drama can’t survive. Hope NBC reconsiders.
NBC just left us with an amazing cliffhanger. they did that to us with Heroes, and they’ve done it again. this show was great and the plot was engaging. i am very disappointed.
The Firm was a great show in a sea of really bad shows. Really hope it is picked up again. We watched each episode religiously.
I’ve recorded the first season, but have not watched it. Should I bother? Did the primary storyline reach a conclusion?
i missed last show 7-14-12. hoping for reruns! great tv. am now reading book.
Why show a series finale with no conclusion. They said “6 weeks later’ show Mitch running rooftops—-and nothing? With so much reality junk inundating tv, this show was entertaining.
Great, great show!! What a mistake NBC!! I would love to see another network pick them up!!
Such a shame. What a great show! PLEASE ABC, pick this one up. If you throw some advertising towards it, you won’t be sorry!!
