Debra Messing has had mixed success on NBC. Will & Grace ran for years while Smash was a ratings disappointment for most of its short run. How will The Mysteries of Laura perform? Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled quickly? Stay tuned.
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Messing) who must also juggle her home life, including raising her young twin boys and trying to divorce her husband. The rest of the cast includes Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Vincent Reina, and Charlie Reina.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/9 update: NBC has renewed The Mysteries of Laura for a second season. Details here.
Final season averages: 1.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.45 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The Mysteries of Laura TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love the humor in this show. I get tired of enjoying show and it gets cancelled. Sometimes I will wait a year before watching a show to see if it will make it.
the only mystery is how it has stayed on the air this long – oh yeah, NBC has nothnig to replace it with
Keep it – love the show – love the light humor as well!! Great cast!!!
This is a great show give it a chance. You keep playing with the schedule as if you want it to fail. It’s good renew let the viewers get a chance to see it.
Another excellent show. Please keep it. It is refreshing to watch. Get rid of Night Shift before you can this one.
I watch even if the show is a repeat!
Please renew! Great acting and interesting story lines!
BRING LAURA AND THE GANG BACK… It’s only been on a year, but I’m already attached to Laura, she is great !!!! Give her a chance !!!!
Please keep the show running. It is adventurous a little laughter and of course the criminal element that makes it not as gruesome as some of the criminal shows. I watch with my granddaughter without being grossed out. Keep up the good work.
I hope it is renewed. It wasn’t given a fair season. So many weeks with reruns. There weren’t many consecutive weeks of new episodes. The viewers didn’t know when it would or wouldn’t be on. NBC needs to give it at least one more season.
Totally agree !
Keep it. It is a fun show. The characters interact well. Shows they have a life outside of work too.
KEEP IT!!!!!
I love this show. Started working afternoon shift and thank God for the PVR. I started telling family and friends about the show and those who tuned in became hooked.
I really hope to see a season 2.
Please keep this show on the air. I love it. And I totally agree that it will become a show that needs another season to become a Castle or Rizzoli and Isles, both of which I love.
I really hope it is renewed. I’m so tired of the generic police shows. This show is fun to watch while still having its drama moments. I don’t feel it’s first season was a true representation due to the fact that too often it was preempted for other shows. I really hope it will be given a second season to prove its a worthwhile show.
