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 love this show. PLEASE DONT CANCELI
We LOVE this show! ! Please renew as it is one of the best shows on TV and one of our very favorites.
Please renew The Mysteries of Laura. I love this show! It’s family friendly with good story lines and humor. There not many family friendly shows on network TV anymore. NBC cancelled Parenthood last year, another awesome family show. Leave the viewers something decent to watch!
My family loves watching this show. It kicks off our Wednesday night line up. Love the cast and the storylines…please keep this show or my 8 yr old daughter will never forgive you!!!!!
¡Mínimo hagan una temporada más! ¡Amamos The mysteries of Laura!
I love watching this show! This is a cop show yes and we have LOTS of them on tv, but this one is funny, shows how families live and cope with work and life. There isn’t much left on NBC that I watch anymore…and won’t be if it takes it off the air. I miss the shows that I grew up with, now it’s all about reality shows which gets old really FAST!!
you have a great show,why are you not keeping it.We the older class who spend more money than the younger ones do like this show and as for me I well not watch NBC any more,I am tried of the networks taking off real good shows and butting real bad ones in there place. Take it off and GOOD BUY NBC.
I love it !!!
Love the show, please, please, please renew this series one more year!!
Great great show!!! Laura and Jake are a perfect combo! NBC did an outstanding job with this show and cast. I’ve watched Debra Messing for quite awhile… Big fan. Didn’t know much about Josh but love him! His voice is wonderful could hear him all day! Great show and even better chemistry between the characters! Keep the show!!!!!
We love this show. Please renew. Love the humor, conflict between characters, and the ability to feel for the citizens they protect. Big cliffhanger at end. Want to see where that goes. We love the beautiful Debra Messing as an actress.
I SWEAR TO GOD IF THEY DONT RENEW AND LEAVE US WITH THAT SEASON 2 CLIFFHANGER ALL HELL IS GONNA BREAK LOOSE
