Tommy won’t be back on patrol next season. CBS just announced that the network has cancelled the cop drama and won’t be ordering a second season for the 2020-21 broadcast season.
The Tommy series revolves around a former high-ranking NYPD officer who becomes the first female chief of police for Los Angeles. Abigail “Tommy” Thomas (Edie Falco) uses unflinching honesty and hardball tactics to keep social, political, and national security issues from hindering effective law enforcement in the Southland. The CBS drama also stars Michael Chernus, Adelaide Clemens, Thomas Sadoski, Russell G. Jones, Olivia Lucy Phillip, Joseph Lyle Taylor, and Vladimir Caamaño.
Airing on Thursday nights, the first season of Tommy averages a 0.49 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.85 million viewers. The cancellation doesn’t come as much of a surprise as the drama is the network’s lowest-rated scripted series.
The 12th and final installment of Tommy airs tomorrow night.
What do you think? Do you watch Tommy? Would you have watched season two on CBS?
I loved this show. Guess the decision makers prefer the “crap” that’s on tv now.
Loved the show. Cannot believe they cancelled it. So much crap on TV and they cancel this show.
I LOVE Tommy and am so disappointed it’s being cancelled. The characters, storylines, and acting are excellent. Please reconsider or maybe a cable channel should pick it up.
I am really disappointed that Tommy is being cancelled. Characters have been built across Season One as has the story line. It was a great add for CBS … one of the few programs I actually watch on that network. Can not understand thinking behind this decision.
Really enjoyed this show and I am very disheartened that more shows are not forthcoming. I don’t feel like Tommy was given a fair chance. This is an excellent show Please try again ,( maybe a newer more consistent time slot?)— or something! There weren’t enough episodes. Almost seemed like it was a fill-in,or was meant to be a temporary show or “try-out”. I had the feeling that the network was never fully committed to Tommy. From the beginning and throughout the show , there was always the lingering question “ Will Tommy be canceled or renewed?” Doesn’t give the… Read more »
Why, why, why would you cancel Tommy? One of the few reasons I watch network television. Edie Falco is amazing, the story lines are timely and compelling. Giving up on network television – no appreciation for quality acting and writing. You should be ashamed!
This was my favorite show. Please somebody, pick it up!! Well-written, well-acted, always a fascinating story.
Definitely would have watched a Season 2.
Loved Tommy, would have watched season 2.
So disappointed that this show has been cancelled! And yet shows like Survivor go on and on!!!!! Please give this a second chance.
I AGREE. IT WAS A GREAT SHOW AND TOMMY WAS AWESOME. PLEASE RECONSIDER.
Survivor is a gagger. Keep Tommy on. Good show.
I also love Tommy and wish they’d given her the chance to show what she can do for the role!
TOTALLY AGREE!!LOVED THE SHOW.
Really loved this series. Could have watched many more seasons
Really enjoyed it and could watch many more seasons
i totally enjoyed this show and am very upset it is being cancelled, i love edie falco……….very sad………….
Tommy was a great show this is a shame that it was cancelled I realy loved the story line CBS SHOULD RETHINK THIS.
Now that CBS has canceled Tommy, can’t another station pick it up? Both my wife and I watched every episode. We thought it was thoughtful, truthful, well written, acted and directed. It does not deserve to be dropped after only one season!!!!!
YES, ANOTHER STATION. DO THAT
I love Tommy and look forward to it each week! I cannot believe they wont at least give it a chance!!
