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.
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 like the show, renew.
Do not cancel the show, it’s fresh and the writing and actors are actually good. I think if you had more patience it will develop into a fan favourite like Castle or Rizzoli and Isles
Keep the show.
Hope they renew Mysteries of Laura.
Very happy with the show. I also enjoyed Debra in second wife club or something like that. It to got canned. This one is really good. The characters have been great till that new blond. She just to dummies down. Smarten her up or kill her off. We didn’t need her.. there’s so little to watch today please gives us more…
Please renew Mysteries of Laura. It is a great show. I look forward to it each week. It is funny, refreshing, and well done. It would be a terrible mistake to cancel this show.
Please keep the show. This show is smart and funny, one of the few on TV. But it seems all the ones that are smart and funny they cancel and keep the canned laughter, boring sitcoms!
Why is it NBC prempts it good shows to the point the are beaten to death. You look for then as scheduled then what the h….. it’s not there. Who stay’s tuned only the most devoted fans. NBC GET A CLUE. The Mystery’s of Laura is one of the best shows you have.
Please keep The Mysteries of Laura. Its one of the few good ones left on tv.
Please keep this show!!!! It is the only show I actually make sure I watch every week and look forward to watching it. It is a great show and so refreshing compared to the crap that is on TV now!!!!
I know the young girls just being introduced to Ms. Messings prior body of work keep begging people on social media users to write rave reviews but I personally think the show is a hard genre and it’s plot is all over the place – I personally think it’s dummy down TV – there’s the feeling of cramming and I think there have been some good lines but put this thing to rest! It cannot sustain a full second season it’s contrived and Messing and “Smash” cast get cancelled? Then is she really that much of a stronghold? I think… Read more »
Your welcome to your opinion but for myself i’m not a young person. I am so darn tired of the reality that you could swamped with on the news; just need a break from it. I want to laugh but wonder who did it as well. Tongue and cheek is good everything doesn’t have to be graphic and doom and gloom or dumb and stupid.
Hope they keep the show enjoy it and for all the reason above.
I like the light frothy feel of this show. Great dynamics and chemistry between lead characters. Please renew this delightful show!
I lije this show. It’s different then other shows. Keep this show
Mysteries of Laura is one of the best shows i have seen in a while.
Debra messing is super in this show. Who ever is the writer for this
show is very talented. This show keeps you interested and is cute & clean.
Keep this show! Very few genuine comedy/mystery shows on, not a fake “reality” show. Characters are delightful, plots are twisted enough to stay glued.
