What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Rookie TV show stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Melissa O’Neil, and Eric Winter. The series follows the experiences of John Nolan (Fillion), a middle-aged divorced man from Pennsylvania. He owns a construction company but decides to give up his old life to pursue a new career as a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department. He graduates from the Police Academy and becomes the oldest rookie on the force. He works with Sergeant Wade Grey (Jones), training officers Angela Lopez (Diaz) and Tim Bradford (Winter), and fellow rookies Jackson West (Makin Jr.) and Lucy Chen (O’Neil). As season two begins, John is six months into his career as a cop and is put to the test by new challenges, romantic relationships, and potentially deadly situations.

Renew blue bloods and the rookie
I love TV Cop The dep’ty and the Rookies For the New Series
I think it would be stupid to put an end to such an amazing show so early. This show is fantastic and not only is it entertaining but it also shows a lot of truth in this world. As in, real life situations that the police have to go through and handle theirselves the right way. It shows that it’s never to late to peruse something you like to do. It is one of my favorite shows so i would love for it to keep playing on tv for the third season!!!
What a great show! Humor and action – something for everyone!
Please renew the Rookie. I love this show and Nathan as well as the whole cast. So great to see a police show that is so real. Great writers. Nathan Needs to be on TV. The was super great on Castle. He has a great sense of humor and is so good looking. He is so believable in this roll. One of the best shows on right now. Must be renewed!!!
Ummmm it’s totally NOT even close to real
The Rookie is a great show, no vulgarity,Nudism, jumping into bed with every Tom, Dick and Harry!
It has laughter, serious moments, not depressing!
Need to have more seasons, I bought Seasons 1&2,!
The Rookie is one of our favorite shows. I was so disappointed about the cancellation. PLEASE, another season.
I Love The Rookie and so does my family. Please renew!!!
Don’t cancel The Rookie. It’s a great show.
2nd series much better than the 1st one please let there be series 3
Love the rookie and cast needs a little stronger wrighters but I think it’s worth saving!
The Rookie is a GREAT show with a lot of versatile stories told by all of the cast members which keeps it so fresh. This is one that deserves a better time slot which I believe is the reason it hasn’t received higher ratings. I put it on automatic record, but if I hadn’t I’m sure I would have missed some. It deserves a better scheduled day. Come one ABC, give it a third season. There’s so much “junk” on tv, this is one of the good ones to keep!
Love this show and cast of characters. Will be Very disappointed if it is cancelled.
I love the show I think it is a smart concept older person changing his life. My luck the show will be cancelled every show that I like they cancell so we will just have to see.
The rookie is one of the best shows on tv. I’ll be very disappointed if it doesn’t get renewed Brenda
Please don’t cancel the rookie. We all love the rookie
