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?
the show has been okay-ish, but I’m a Debra Messing fan, so been watching it..
the finale, however, seemed to lack Quality / Continuation control…She’s feeding her on-reel husband something that looks green, but keeps shoving empty spoons into his mouth. He on the other hand starts talking just as soon as the spoon leaves his mouth!!! True magic…
also, somehow, Debra messing seemed weird in her vulnerable moments.
the show will remain…as we know glitches are acceptable as long as the show makes money, right?…Doesnt quite deserve a second season…Almost all characters have no depth…
I agree I liked the show at first but I got bored of it Your right about the characters have no depth Maybe that is why I got turned off from this show I would like it if they gave a little more insight into the other characters like Meredith,Billy and Max personal lives and see them do other stuff that does not involved police work Maybe I can like the character Meredith more if I knew more about her and why she was so damn uptight I don’t see any longevity in this show Maybe I will continue to… Read more »
lease do not cancel this show really, really great…….
I love this show but have a difficult time figuring out when it will be on. It will be there one week and then not there for one or two weeks. That might be why the show doesn’t have the ratings it should have. One of the BEST shows on TV!!!!
Love the show!!!!!

Please do not cancel this show. We need something that is not reality, provides laughter and leaves you looking forward to the next episode. Not many shows are this good. Again, please leave us something to watch besides the reality series so heavily programmed.
Seriously y’all, it would be an error of epic proportions to cancel this show.
It has all the necessary elements to make it fabulous, and, out of what probably amounts to hundreds of tv shows airing now, is one of the very few truly worth watching.
Personally, it’s one of the handful I watch. Faithfully watch. TV shows anymore tend to lack more than they don’t. Did that make sense? Regardless, I’m sure you get the gist of it.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Mysteries Of Laura ain’t broke people. Please leave it be.
Thank you kindly.
I look forward to Debra Messing in “Mysteries of Laura.” It is well written, fast paced and humorous. I especially like the humor, with messy Messing taking herself not at all seriously. It is far, far better than many shows that have already been renewed. Try skewing to the literate demographic once in a while.
Love it. Hope it does not get cancelled.
Please keep the show. I love Wednesday nights with the mysteries of Laura!
Love this show! I have it set to dvr in case I’m not home when it comes on.
Yes i dvr it so i don’t miss a show. Have watch the show from the beginning. Please don’t cancel.
I love this show. Please don’t cancel. Give it a chance.
Please, don’t cancel Mysteries of Laura it’s a very good show. It also shows people that u can work and still provide for your family, as a single mom.
I have watched every episode since the beginning and absolutely love this show. I have been disappointed with the showings, however, over the last few weeks. My guide will show “New” but it ends up being a repeat. This happened about three times so I wonder if that has anything to do with the ratings. I hope this show gets renewed for another season. Many shows that are brilliantly written and casted have gotten cancelled it’s first season. I think NBC should give it a chance and promote it more than it does.
This show is funny and unique. I have been a female police officer through having my children and now grand children . The writers have done a great job making the show witty and funny yet showing what’s it’s like being a single mom and a police officer. PLEASE don’t cancel it!!
It was renewed. I post the story link a couple days ago
