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.

Terrific show … All of the cast is great
And Debra heads the list
Good writing…big plus in all ways!
The Mysteries of Laura is the best show ever!!!! DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW.
I love this show please keep it going
I really like this show. She’s smart and fun and witty it it’s a great show please keep it!
Please renew the show The Mysteries of Laura…I enjoy the show very much. To many good shows get cancelled….give this show a chance.
What a shame it would be to cancel such a great show. We enjoy it very much. The episodes are so good – a little bit of mystery and a little bit of laughter. What’s better than that?
I don’t often watch programs on the three major networks but I really enjoy this show. The characters have good chemistry and the plots are
interesting.
PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW!
Imho, the kids are needed to show the human side of Laura plus everything she is juggling as a single mom in a male dominated world. Detectives typically do not have the time required to be with their family due to the nature of their work.but yeah, the kids are sooo bratty but it does serve a purpose. Cheating husband is needed too so that Laura can punish him , hehe
I love this show. Hope NBC don’t cancel this
show. They cancelled Bad Judge.
Rumors are they might cancel
CONSTANTINE and GRIMM.
If Laura cancelled, what just
THE BLACKLIST survived of my favorite
NBC shows. it’s. Star Trek cancellation x 4.
love the show!
That would be horrible if they canceled Grimm! I like the mysteries of Laura a well, but Grimm being of air would irritate me.
Love this show !!
hope you enjoy the extra episodes!
I have seen so many Good shows get cancelled before they’ve had a chance to develope a fan base!!!!!!!! Give it a chance! Pump it up!!!! Talk about it!!! Many people probably don’t know about it!!!!
Love Ms Messing husband character not needed kids should be better behaved really would like season 2 without husband he is expendable hint hint hint
It is a Spanish 2 season show adapted to USA, the husband is a main character at the original version, but they changed a lot the scripts and the characters from the original one that is more coral than this one.
If any of you is bilingual in spanish try to watch it at rtve web page (it is free)
take out the bratty hard to watch kids and you have stupid police procedural. Leave in the kids and the show is plain horrible. They made mistake with the kids and it ruined the show.
It’s true, those scenes are clunky and out of place. It will be the demise of the show if they don’t fix it. We get it, she’s a busy mom.
You bet get rid of the two little brats before they destroy this shows TV Ratings and make the Idiot TV Network Brass CANCEL the show! Debra Messing is a fine TV Actress that certainly deserves much better!
If you lose the “brats” – (they are so cute!!! And shown to be GOOD kids – just little boys!) you lose the “family” comedic touch. Then just ANOTHER cop show. Laura turning out to be such a good mom on the show – albeit a little different in parenting style – and THAT”s why it works. The episode w/o the kids just didn’t work for me! (and my family)
I usually don’t root for a show to fail, I just don’t bother watching … but these characters especially the uber bratty kids should be banished to the canceled bin asap.
