Debra Messing had a long and successful run on NBC on Will & Grace while later series Smash was cancelled after two seasons. How do things look for The Mysteries of Laura? Will it see a second season?
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Messing) who must also juggle her home life, including raising her young twin boys and trying to divorce her husband. The rest of the cast includes Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Vincent Reina, and Charlie Reina.
The series debuted in September to a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.19 million viewers. It was an okay start for a new drama on NBC. The demo dropped 25% in week two while viewership dropped only slightly.
Unfortunately, the ratings have continued to drop over the course of the season. Mysteries of Laura recently hit a new series low with a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just 5.82 million viewers.
The show’s ratings are poor and it could easily be cancelled. However, NBC is still having only mixed success with their overall schedule. Depending on their current crop of show pilots, their schedule problems could be enough of a reason for the network execs to renew Laura for a second season.
We’ll likely have to wait until May (when the networks announce their 2015-16 schedules) to find out if Debra Messing will be back on NBC next fall.
But, what do you think? Do you like The Mysteries of Laura? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Yes please renew, I admit I didn’t like this show from the very first episode but as it went on, characters grew on me and i can see potential, now I find myself waiting for Wednesday night to watch.
Great show! Funny but also very relatable with good detective story running throughout. Not just a ‘laugh at the idiots’ show. Don’t currently watch that may shows, but this one is worth my time. Really hope it gets renewed!
PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW! THERE IS VERY FEW SHOWS THAT I ENJOY, BUT THIS ONE IMREALLY LIKE!,,
I love her in this show and I absolutely love the show. Keep it on.
Please renew this show. There is very few TV shows that I enjoy and I really enjoy this one.
Please renew. I look forward to it. There is not much geared toward our demographic.
It has truly been a while since I’ve had a “can’t wait to watch” TV show.
It is a funny, simply delicious comedy that is easy on the all the senses except the tummy from laughing pains.
Its nice to feel good about something again. It is lovely to call family or friends and laugh over the previous nights showing.
Thank you to the writers of the show, you know how to make it work. NBC, I hope you have the mind to keep this delightful gem.
It has been awhile since I’ve looked forward to a “can’t miss this TV show night”.
Hope your company has the mind to keep a simply delightful feel good show.
DO NOT CANCEL ,!!!!! Stop canceling all the good shows and leaving the brain dead hooker shows that have no entertainment value at all!! Stop!!!
PLEASE RENEW THIS GREAT SHOW. DEBRA MESSING, ET AL. ARE TERRIFIC ACTORS. MY SPOUSE AND I BOTH LOVE IT AND NEVER FAIL TO GET A GOOD LAUGH. THANKS FOR WRITING A SHOW THAT IS INTELLIGENT AND FUNNY. WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THE HOUSEKEEPER.
Renew! Awesome show!!!! A great cast, they click, a little comedy but still the police drama. Hasn’t been done this well in a long time.
renew it
Renew it Please!! Love this show and they keep cancelling the good ones! I’m running out of programmes!
awesome show! I look forward to seeing it every week. I think the show should be renewed for sure. possibly, a time change may solve the problem. 7pm is tough. people usually don’t settle down at their tv until @8pm
I like it too. Not in the demographic they want but that demographic likes lighter fare. Not fun and smart like this show.
RENEW IT, PLEASE. LOVE THE SHOW!!!
