NBC had high hopes for The Mysteries of Laura but it certainly wasn’t a hit in the ratings. The network renewed the series anyway. Will the ratings improve this time around or will they drop lower? Will the series be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Debra Messing) who must also juggle raising her young twin boys as a single mom. The rest of the cast includes Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Callie Thorne, and Med Steedle.
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.

What do you think? Do you still like The Mysteries of Laura TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for third season?
Id like it renewed.
Please renew it. It’s the best show right now. I don’t miss it ever.
This is an AWESOME show and I love it! Would be a shame if, once again, networks take away a great show! Ratings can’t be accurate anymore w DVR. No one I know watches anything at the time when it comes on anymore. I have watched this show since day 1 and hope to continue!
Please renew this show! I record it every Wednesday night and watch it Thursday morning. It’s my “mommy time!”
Please renew “Mysteries of Laura.” I do not watch much
TV but I make time every week because it is that good!
Love this show. Please keep it on for season three.
Renew season 3 of the mysteries of Laura Please!! It’s got everything for an enjoyable hour of tv with a great comical twist. This show is a wonderful and welcomed break from the reality tv options that flood the networks! Great show and Debra Messing is perfect for the character. Don’t cancel this show!!!!
Have not been a fan of “La Messing” since her unprofessional “easy break” early days on Will & Grace (although thought the the other three cast members were absolute brill).

PLSE PLSE RENEW LOVE DIAMOND
I enjoy Mysteries of Laura I hope it is renewed for next season. I always watch the show.
We so hope Mysteries of Laura will be renewed. We never miss it.
Great show to watch – love the cast and it is one of the best new series on TV. Nice balance of comedy and drama Please renew it!!
The only show I watch regularly. Great cast, good scripts, very professional overall. Please give it season three, I think it is the BEST series on television since MONK on USA several years ago. Consider adding one more major actor with a fan base who would attract more viewers. Fine-tune this high quality series instead of gambling on an unproven “dark horse.” Mysteries of Laura is intelligent and a treat to watch.
My husband and I love this show!!!!
Love the dynamics of this show- renew it
