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.

I hope it is not cancelled. This is one of my favorite shows. I would cry a river!!!!!! Hurry up and make the 3rd season.
I will cry my eyes out if The Rookie is cancelled!!!!! I absolutely love this show. I look forward to it each week.
Love the show. Don’t cancel
I really like the show I hope it doesn’t get canceled
My husband and myself totally enjoy watching the Rookie, do not cancel it please.
I really hope The Rookie isn’t cancelled. It’s the one show I look forward to every week!!
I’ll be really disappointed if The Rookie is cancelled, I really enjoy it and like the entire cast. I’ll also note that I’m a big fan of Nathan Fillian and look forward to seeing anything he’s in because he’s a very good actor and very likeable. He’s fun in comedy and I was so sorry when Castle was cancelled.
We wait for Rookie every week. I certainly hope it’s renewed. It’s the BEST show on tv.
It would be very disappointing if the rookie was cancel. The show never disappoints, we record and watch it every chance we get. Cant wait for season 3. Every person in the show has unique personality and you can see yourself in everyone of them. Love all the actors, please do not cancel the show, also helps you feel compassion for the men and women in blue.
I get together with three friends to watch the Rookie. I certainly hope it does not get cancelled!
Love The Rookie!!!! Please don’t cancel this program.
Love The Rookie! Please don’t cancel!
I like the Rookie and hope they don’t cancel it. I am in my 70s and think the show is fun and refreshing. Also true to life.
I love the Rookie. Please don’t cancel it.
What? Not good reviews? Can’t believe it – I love the Rookie! it has a bit of everything – funny, dramatic, romantic – all wrapped up in a Nathan Filion package. Loved him in Castle – and he doesn’t disappoint in the Rookie. And such a great cast of supporting characters… all in all, one of my favorite new shows – please don’t cancel!
I tend to watch CBS shows but I always turned to ABC for The Rookie! It was one of the only shows I liked on this network! If you don’t renew it, you will prove to me that you don’t make wise decisions!!!
