After receiving some of the worst reviews of the season, The Mysteries of Laura had a very unimpressive year in the ratings and could have easily been cancelled. But, luckily for the fans, it’s been renewed for a second season anyway.
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Debra 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 series debuted in September and drew a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.19 million viewers. It was an okay start but the ratings have come way down over the course of the season. This week’s edition hit a new low with a 0.9 rating and 6.04 million viewers. It is however the network’s second most-watched scripted series according to the season averages.
While Mysteries of Laura has been renewed for a second season, word is that it’s only been given a 13 episode order. The network execs likely want to see how things go when the series returns before making a bigger commitment.
What do you think? Do you like The Mysteries of Laura TV show on NBC? Do you think it should have been cancelled instead of renewed?
Enjoyed most of the shows but I loved this last one. I look forward to next season!
I love this show!!
YES…Renewed…
YES…I am so glad that it has been renewed. This show is really good and we don’t miss it. Now for season 2 we have to watch and make the ratings excellent so more episodes will be ordered.
I look forward to watching every episode. I enjoy the dynamic of the entire cast.
I am in the 18-49 age group and this show is Brilliant for me and my family. The humor, the compassion it depicts for a half-broken family, the ambiance of murder mystery, shared by wonderfully eccentric actors is just great. I get the warm and fuzzy with this show and I hope the network plans on keeping this show alive!
I love this show and I am ecstatic to hear it is coming back.
I just love this show and all the characters. This is one great show, I also agree with Rene please keep the show!
I love this show and was thrilled that it has been renewed. Networks shouldn’t be so quick to cancel shows or kill them with horrible time slots. CBS effectively killed several shows by scheduling them at 10 p.m. on Sunday night. Everyone knows football never ends on time.
I’m 58 and I love the show.
I’m with you Robyn I love the show
Both my husband and I LOVE this show. Debra Messing is a wonder in the part…stunningly watchable. And yes, Josh needs a FULL RECOVERY! They could simmer the boys down a little. All the police station staff do an excellent job as well…HOORAY!
One of the best shows on TV!!! Glad it’s renewed!!!
Love Debra and Josh!!! So glad they are coming back ,yeah!!!!!!!
Love this show. So glad its renewed. My favorite show.
You can’t cancel THIS show!! Debra’s character is a ‘real’ woman unlike all the shows on today. Josh’s character needs to make a full recovery, too.
