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?
Pleas renew
I LOVE this show. It has everything. . . mystery, romance, humor, excitement, action. Debra Messing is SO good, and Josh Lucas is a great match for her. I like all the main characters equally. I particularly like Max. . . he adds a lot to the show. Laz Alonso and Janina Gavankar are great in the roles they play. I really can relate to the twins and their antics and Laura’s reactions! I personally have twins, and they can be a handful! This is almost the ONLY show I watch so please bring on season 3!!!!! Renew! Renew! Renew!… Read more »

Please renew! Great Cast! One of my favorite shows.
Please renew!! The only show on TV I watch
Yes! Renew the series! The second season is even better than the first! Debra Messing does a great job of portraying a strong female character who is believable. She has her flaws, but she also has compassion, intelligence and wit.
Please renew! This is one of my favorite shows on TV!
This is one of my favorite shows. I love all the characters, especially Debra Messing as Laura. There’s not a lot of blood and gore, and although there are adult themes, they are tastefully portrayed and not explicit or graphic. PLEASE bring it back! We need more CLEAN shows!

Please do not cancel The Mysteries of Laura. I love this show. It’s different and its funny and its Laura! Give the show a chance. Sometimes you need to promote more. Alot of people may not know. Show a couple more commercials and promote. We like comedy, action, drama, and suspense rolled all up into one good show and that is The Mysteries of Laura.
I was wondering why the network would allow a series to possibly ending for good the way it did on March 2nd? It seems really unfair to just cancel a series leaving viewers on the ends of their seats waiting to see what is going to happens next following the shot of the ring? Dish ended saying Season Fanle!!! If I was not able to research the show I would be waiting the next season starting night and time. I know that rates determine the next season. Has anyone considered how the Regular Faithful Viewers Feel when a series is… Read more »
I love this show. It needs to be brought back
Bring back! My favorite show
At times, there have been 7 million viewers, but the show CAN’T GET OVER A !.2. That is HIDEOUS. Why are the ratings so low? Because the show isn’t that good? The show had Five 1.0 ratings this season and four 1.1 ratings out of 16 episodes. If Debra Messing wasn’t in this show, it would have been CANCELLED already. Just because She’s in it doesn’t make it a good show The ratings spell it out. Time to end the nightmare of the 2014-15 season once and for all. Cancel it.
