Tonight marks the end of the second season of The Mysteries of Laura and it may end up being the end of the series as well. How’s the NBC TV show been doing in the ratings? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Debra Messing) who must also juggle raising her young twin boys as a single mom. The rest of the cast includes Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Callie Thorne, and Med Steedle.
The series began airing in Fall 2014 and the network no doubt had high expectations for the show. The first season ended up averaging a 1.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.45 million viewers. It was hardly an impressive showing but NBC renewed it for a second season anyway, likely hoping that the audience would grow in time.
Season two of Mysteries of Laura doesn’t seem to have attracted any new viewers but the cop family drama hasn’t lost many either. Year-to-year, the ratings are down less than 10% which is pretty good considering how much other dramas have been losing. Still, the ratings are far from good.
Laura is one of NBC’s lowest-rated drama series right now and is one of the few that’s yet to be cancelled or renewed for next season. Looking at the numbers, they could certainly go either way with this one. Their decision will likely have a lot to do with how their new show pilots look. We’ll know what they decide in May at the latest.
But, what do you think? Should Mysteries of Laura be renewed for a third season or cancelled instead?
Please renew Mysteries of Laura! It’s such a good show and I never miss it! It has action drama heartache and humor. A lot of shows nowadays don’t have all this does! It’s worth it to keep it going!
Yes please renew this fascinating, awesome, amazing, and the most talked about show for Debra Messing, and the entire cast of Mysteries of Laura is one of the best shows out there today, and is by far one of the most favorite shows of mine, and it is the most awesome show than Law and Order SVU
Mysteries of Laura puts law and order to shame, and is ten times better. Than any show that I have seen in my entire
Life.
Renew Mys. of Laura. Give her a different time slot.
This show has been a favorite, since they tamed down the silliness with the twins the first couple of shows and concentrated on the police drama. One of the best on the air now. I think they should do some reruns at different times to get some more folks to see what a good show it is!
should return.Jake belongs with Laura.
I love this show !!!!! Don’t take it off !!!!!!! You took the night shift off and replaced it with a show that tries to imitate the night shift. . So stupid !!!!!
Mysteries of Laura should be renewed
It should return!
Please bring “The Mysteries of Laura” back. This is a great show, I love the characters & how they react with one another.
Please, please renew! It is an enjoyable and great characters.
It is my favorite show on TV. I love the chemistry among the actors. PLEASE say it is coming back.
My husband and I are senior citizens. To be quite honest, we haven’t seen much on NBC worth watching, except The Mysteries of Laura.Please keep it going for us to have a program on NBC that we will watch.
My husband and I love this show! Bring it back for another season! With all the ridiculous shows that have been on forever, this show deserves the chance to keep picking up viewers!
Please please please renew
Shame to cancell a program that has such beautiful cast.Also clean no bad worlds or lots of violence.Is that why ?
