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, love the show
Please renew! We watch it every week!
Love the show, hope we can see a season 3!
Please renew. We watch it each week.
Great show quite entertaining. Need to what happens to the entire group
Maybe if you moved it to a night that wasn’t already full of winning shows on the other 2 networks it would work better! CBS and ABC already have Wednesday won!
NBC please renew the Mysteries of Laura for season 3. The show, is funny, witty, smart and sensitive. Great show and cast! Great entertainment! Love the show and the interaction of the cast.
ARE YOU CRAZY? Cancel the show? What the hell are you and NBC drinking? How in the world am I going to find out if Laura & Jake reunite, their two (2) boys are looking to see if their dad will return and be with and their mom. You just can’t cancel this show! It was bad enough that you killed-off their Captain and now please, please let Laura & Jake – COME TOGETHER AGAIN.
Pleeeeease!!! Renew the show! I love it!
Love, love, love this show! Not only is it drama but Debra Messing adds some comedic value to the show too. Please renew the show, we need to see if Jake chooses Laura! Admittedly, I cried at the end of the season finale!
This is my favorite show the cast is awesome I love every bit of it! It would be a shame if it ended it now!
PLEASE RENEW!!!!
I really hate to say it but CANCEL Mysteries of Laura 🙁
This is about the only show that I watch on NBC besides sports. I think they have a good thing going here and would hate to see it end so soon. Here’s hoping for another season (or 2).
Please don’t cancel Mysteries of Laura. I love the show. It keeps you on the edge of your seat till the edge of the show till the end before you know who really id the crime and why. A really great suspense show with a great cast !!!!
Please do not cancel Mysteries of Laura…We love this show. Cannot wait to see if she and Jake get back together.
