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.

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.

This is a great show! lot of action and great blend of personalities.
I LOVE this show, please do not cancel it! Love how it makes me laugh and cry and sympathize all at the same time! The characters are perfectly played too! The openings with the body cameras are amazing as well don’t stop those! Haha
Absolutely love the Rookie. Good entertainment and I enjoy the way the characters blend so well together.
I Vote for another season for The Rookie
Keep the Rookie, it’s a great show
Please keep the Rookie. In today’s keep it more like real-life, the lack of gratuitous sex, violence, and foul language is a welcome relief. It’s enjoyable and entertaining and still realistic w/ some good humor and character development.
I really enjoy the Rookies. I even record it to make certain I don’t miss a show. The acting is great and the story lines are strong enough to keep you wondering how this is going to work out, at least the majority of the time.
I truly enjoy the rookie. It tackles situations with intelligence and has humorous moments. Being in the medical field, I really appreciate how realistic the type of humor is.
I love The Rookie. It may be my favorite show on TV right now. It’s a lot of fun and is very entertaining, but it’s got some good dramatic moments as well. I really want a third season!
The only show the entire family enjoys. Keep it please!!!
The Rookie is the only show the entire family enjoys! Keep it going!!!
The Rookie is a great show with a terrific cast. It has interesting, and often funny, situations. I am always mystified as to why TV executives pay more attention to the 18-49 demographic. There are many of us watching these shows who are older, yet so many shows I like end up being cancelled because they don’t do well with this younger demographic. We old folks watch TV, too!
One of the best shows currently on TV. I’d be very disappointed if it wasn’t renewed.
PLEASE KEEP THE ROOKIE GOING!!!!!
I love “The Rookie”. It has drama, suspense and humor … all rolled up in one. The actors seem to have a great chemistry together. I watch very little on tv except this show and Hallmart Channel. Please renew this show. I have already bought the first season on dvd and waiting for season 2 to come out.
We love the Rookie . Have watched it since day one . I think it would be in your best interest to keep the show going . I love the actors n their rolls . It suits them well…
