TV show description:
Detective Casey Shraeger (Amber Tamblyn) starts her day as an undercover hooker working for the NYPD vice department but is suddenly and unexpectedly transferred to the division’s homicide unit. The young officer finds herself thrust into a crazy world that’s full of dark humor, bodies, and bullets. Casey’s immediately partnered with Detective Jason Walsh (Jeremy Renner). Their first assignment together isn’t any easy one — find the killer of Walsh’s former partner.
As the pair seeks out the cop killer, Casey begins to realize that the force is full of secrets and that’s just fine considering she has a few of her own. It’s also a place where it helps to have a twisted sense of humor, since every day could be your last.
Partners Eric Delahoy (Adam Goldberg) and Leo Banks (Harold Perrineau) are polar opposites. Delahoy has a serious deathwish while Banks is so cautious that he refuses to remove his bulletproof vest.
Detective Eddie Alvarez (Kai Lennox) is a practical joke-playing social climber who has no problem stealing cases if they’ll get him some front-page coverage in the papers.
Meanwhile, Detective Henry Cole (Josh Close) is a religious guy who’s trying to keep his secret past from both his streetwise partner, Allison Beaumont (Monique Gabriela Curnen), and Sgt. Harvey Brown (Terry Kinney), who is struggling to rid the 2nd precinct of corruption.

I love the Unusauls. Please ABC, don’t cancel.
please rethink the fate of this series it is my favorite show
the Unusuals is, by far,the best show on T.V. When i heard ABC was cancelling it, I couldn”t imagine anything they have in their entire programming schedule that is even faintly worthy of replacing it It seems to me,ABC hasn’t had a hit in so long that they can’t recognize one when they have it. hopefully enough fans will write to support this great series, that ABC will have to reconsider their horrible decision.
ABC – Why are you taking THE UNUSUALS off the air? Is it because these stars can actually ACT? This show makes me laugh out loud and keeps me interested for the entire hour. Please do not cancel this show. I am so tired of these mindless dancing, night time soaps and reallity shows. I guess I’ll go back to Greta on FOX.
It is one the best cop shows sence nypd blue why take it off the air just because of your stuped rateings from people who are below 30. I DVR it every week . And I dont waste my DVR time frivolously.
love this show, why do all the good smart decent shows get cancelled, who are the idiots in the drivers seats anyway? bring this show back!
abc screwed the fans of “the unusuals” if you so-called was banking on the show you should of at least gave it a second season,im tired of networks whining about ratings and not giving shows a shot “the unusuals” was a breath of fresh air compared to the csi’s&law&orders,make this right abc or me and the viewers of “the unusuals” will proberly start calling you NBC junior with this dumbass decision
I was so disappointed when Pushing Daisies was cancelled, and now I hear that The Unusuals will be as well. I don’t really understand why networks like ABC won’t give well-written shows a chance to develop and gain a bigger audience. It seems like networks are much less likely to give new shows an opportunity to attract viewers than they have in years past. Is it just me, or is this a disturbing new pattern? Meanwhile, shows that have declined in quality (or were already average to begin with — like Two and a Half Men and King of Queens)… Read more »
I agree that the “powers that be” are dumb for not realizing that many people would rather enjoy the 10:00 PM fare at a time that suits them! All of the actors are good, and quirky, which is the premises for the show! HELLO? Are they all blonde??? I don’t think so!
ABC execs are idiots, haven’t they heard of Tivo and DVR. People do not watch shows the night they are on. They record them and watch them later!!!!

I first saw this show episode 7. I was hooked, and had to go find the other episodes, then had to go back and watch the ones i had already watched. I understand the need to save money, but, God, I hate reality tv!! Do people really watch that stuff? I seriously shut the tv off and read a book, rather than watch that crap. Its not often that a show comes along and catches me like “the Unusuals” did. Please, oh mortal despots of ABC, dont cancel this show !! Fav quote “I’m not her boyfriend. 12 year old’s… Read more »
They must keep this show on!! It is great! It is well acted and well written. What are they thinking?
we can only hope that this is picked up by another channel, like Friday night Lights ..
It is a real shame that this show is cancelled. It is the only show that my family and I watch on this network. I don’t think it was advertised very well. Another problem was that the show would be on then go away and then be on again. Once this show is gone there will be nothing on that network that my family and most of my friends will watch. It replaced all the dumb reality shows that are on that most of the people I know are tired of. Everyone I know liked the quirkyness of the characters.… Read more »
