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?
Please pick this show up someone! Best show in several years!
I am sooooo upset that you are canceling this tv show. Leave it on Saturday nights or even put it in a later timeslot if the ratings are poor, but don”t take it away!!
I have been looking for episode 22 for about a month. Has it even been made? If so, when will it appear? The show is well-written, the characters are worth following, and the mysteries keep happening! I am sorry there will be no second season, but I would at least like to see the season finale.
nbc sucks
Really cant beleave the canceled the firm one of the shows I’ve seen in along time bout time they get a show that keeps u guessing and waiting like 24 did that was the best show I have ever seen and this is right up there with it come someone please pick it back up u can’t leave us hanging like this
I love the firm! Please bring it back! That is the ONLY show that my husband and I enjoy watching together! It was the best show on t.v.
I am so sick of TV channels cancelling shows! They don’t even give the people a solid chance to love it…BUT I did love The Firm! I was literally biting my nails every episode, a real political drama with suspense…kept me hanging every week. SOOO sad it was cancelled. NBC, you stink.
I concur, bring it back. I looked forwad to this show every week and followd every time it moved. Movement like that is really hard on a show and can really cause loss of viewershp. I am not really sure how this is all decided but I do think The Firm deserved a second chance. It was really well done, the characters were well developed and storyline brought you into thier lives andd you wanted to see more of them.
Wish they wouldn’t cancel it. I was really well done and as someone else said-“it beats reality TV!”
Best show I have had the pleasure in watching in a long time. I hope to see a second season and more. I need to see what happens in the trial. How can they leave us hanging. You invest your time and get invested with the characters and they cancel the program. Some other channel should pick them up. No wonder NBC is in the position they are!!!
I agree!!! A great drama…so sick of reality TV!!! Who cares about the kardashians?!! Come on NBC or another network…pick this show up!!
When will The Firm #23 be on????? I don’t want to miss the last ones.
Regina Hoffman » As the article states, there are only 22 episodes.
I thought this was one of the best series on TV in a very long time. I just don’t understand how it could be cancelled. This work is brilliant compared to 99% of the stuff that’s aired these days.
I totally agree! Bring it back NBC!
I just love The Firm. My husband is a retired judge and it is THE ONLY tv show I can get him to watch with me. Please keep it on. Please, Please, Please. Somebody pick it up. Hey Oprah. What about you???
This is probably one of the best series to run on TV that I can remember. Hope another network picks it up as NBC really doesn’t know quality
I do agree with you Lynn. The last episode on Patrick Walker’s case was just starting!
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE REALLY CANCELING THE BEST SHOW ON YOUR NETWORK, THE FIRM. FINALLY A DECENT, SUSPENCEFUL SHOW THAT YOU CAN’T HARDLY WAIT BETWEEN EPISODES AND HERE YOU ARE GIVING IT UP!!!! ARE YOU CRAZY? I REALIZE THAT THE AVERAGE I-Q IS NOW 100 OR LESS AND THE GENERAL POPULATION MAY NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE PACE OF THE SHOW, BUT THERE ARE MANY OF US THAT LIKE A SHOW WITH PLOT AND SUBSTANCE RATHER THAN THESE STUPID MINDLESS SHOWS LIKE THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, REALITY SHOWS ETC.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, KEEP THE FIRM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
