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?
I think if ratings are not as expected, one of the problems is with the title. A better title would be The Laura Diamond Mysteries or something to that effect. Love, love, love this show!!! Please bring it back. Dying to know what happens between Laura and Jake now that he is engaged to the other woman!!!!! Excellent show!!!
Enjoy the cast and the storyline tremendously. Please renew.
Great show please renew.
Love the show I found the cast to be engrossing . And I so hope it is renewed.
Please keep this ON! So tired of reality TV shows, this is so refreshing – funny, action packed, good plots, romance, relatable characters, etc.,More of The Mysteries of Laura, please!!
Keeper. Like the show with strong female character. Way to many reality shows and this is a relief.
Although show got off to a weak start it has improved greatly. Its enjoyable and the cast are terrific. It should be renewed. I never miss an episode. Most of my friends here love it.
Please, please keep The Mysteries of Laura on the air. There are so many of us fans that love it! Got to find out what happens in the future with Jake.
Please renew ,one .of that best shows on tv, I look forward to watching ,it has everything, humor ,romance and intrigue.
Love this show. Please renew it.
Absolutely LOVE this show. Love all of the characters!!! I never miss it. There are no PERFECT characters in it. Love how all of them are dysfunctional in certain ways, but all of them are so likeable. Really mad they killed the Captain.
But the chemistry between all of the characters with every other character is so good! DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!!! Cancel one of the crappy reality shows that do nothing but make you hate them all. That’s not entertainment. This show is. Drama, comedy, relationships. Come on. Get it right.
Please renew The Mysteries of Laura for Season Three. It is an
entertaining and funny show. Debra Messing is excellent and the
whole cast interaction is great. PLEASE RENEW
Love,love,love this show. A must see series. My family all gather to the new show. Should be around for a long,long time
Please, please renew Mysteries of Laura.
I look forward to Wednesday nights s I can watch Mysteries of Laura. It’s the best show ever. I admire the character Debra Messings portrays. She is my favorite. Jake and Laura are awesome, don’t let Jake marry that other woman.
