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.

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.

Love this show so much!!! Too many crime shows on tv that deal with hard core stuff. This show is like reading a book and you can’t wait to get to the next chapter to see what happens. I will be so upset if NBC cancels this show.
I say keep this TV show but please give it an airtime slot that it isn’t pre-empted by some stupid sports event!
Love the show, it is a perfect mix of serious and humor. America needs some humor these days. Look forward to a new season , Messing and Lucas are amazing.
I enjoy this series. I am a big fan of Josh Lucas and Debra Messing. Enjoying the chemistry between the two on the show. Find myself longing to see them reconcile more with each episode. Sincerely hope it is not cancelled!
I like this TV very much and sure hope the network brass renew it for another season!
