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.

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.

Please don’t cancel the show. It’s fun, the actors are wonderful, and easy to watch without all the violence you see on all the other shows. We need something like this.

Please don’t cancel this show..it is one that is uplifting and fun. .we have so many shows that are all about murder and crime. .love all the characters.. thank you for taking our feedback. .
I’ve watched all episodes. Last night’s show was by far the best mainly because the story line was more coherent and free of the too often puerile interludes that marred most of the preceding shows.
Really like this show. Love the Laura character and Ms. Messing is great. Renew
I’d like the show to be renewed
The scripts are pretty mediocre. I can spot the murderers in most cases. But the acting is uniformly good even if they’ve got precious little to do.
Please don’t cancel this show. Give it a chance. I still think NBC should have given “Growing Up Fisher” another season.
One of the best shows on T.V. The wonderful story of her life adds to it just being a “cop show”. Advertise more and DON’T CANCEL!
Don’t cancel the show.
