Compared to Unforgettable’s series debut a year earlier, CBS was down by 14% in the demo (vs a 2.9 rating) and down by 4% in viewers (vs 14.09 million). While the viewership is very impressive, the demo is less so and CBS has cancelled many series for low demo numbers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Vegas TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I can’t believe CBS is thinking about canceling this show!! The story line of this show is impressive and actually makes sense unlike some of these other crap shows that only last for one season. Golden Boy?? That’s a stupid name for a show. Look at the comments and viewer comments for the show Vegas…… People like it! The 60’s setting is great and I was born in the 80’s and I actually like it. Don’t cancel it because you will have a lot of disappointed viewers that will probably not watch CBS anymore if this show is cut off.… Read more »
VEGAS is only one of the only series that my wife and I follow. It is the ONLY decentseries on network T.V. It is well cast and interesting and well written. It took awhile to develope the characters, but once developed, I can associate and connect with each one. To cancel the show would be shear “stupidity “.
Please do not cancel Vegas. LOVE the cast and story line. My husband and I look forward to the show each week.
I am 34 and my wife and I both love the show Vegas. It is the only show currently on the air we have to watch. I dont know what on earth cbs is doing messing with my show. Obviously idiots running cbs just like the ones running our country.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL. LIKE THE SHOW.
Vegas is our favorite new series hands down
My husband and I both love the plot, the characters and the actors.
Please do not screw up your lineup.
Leave the show on. Thank you Jennifer
Please dont cancel Vegas!!!!!!!! It ill be a good ratings getter if you just let people catch on!!!!!!!
Do NOT cancel Vegas. I am in my 60’s and all my age group love the show. My wife and I belong to a rotating Tuesday Vegas Night gathering and We all “DIG” the series. It is well cast,the writing is terrific, the continuing story line is always a cliffhanger and I love the 1960 Las Vegas setting. Plus Dennis Quaid deserves a HIT he’s a great actor. Keep this QUALITY T.V. production ON THE AIR.
I really hope Vegas is NOT cancelled. I am in my 60’s and many of my age group LOVE the series. It has great acting, well written. I love the continuing story line and the 1960 Las Vegas setting. One of my Favorites to come along and it has a great lead-in with the 2 N.C.I.S. shows. My wife and I go to rotating Vegas Night gatherings every Tuesday eve. Keep this quality T.V. drams Alive.
I love Vegas!!!! O’Mara is amazing and Sara Jones is great! We will be so sad if its cancelled !
Please do not cancel Vegas. My husband and I love this show and look forward to seeing it every week. I’ts better than most. The characters and story line are great. Love Jason O’mara and the relationship between brothers, son and nephew. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!!
DON’T CANCEL VEGAS, I love this show, it deserves a chance for a second season. It has great actors, good story line, great time period of the 60’s. I never miss an episiode.
It might get better ratings if you promoted it more and stop taking it off the air for weeks at a time. I don’t understand the need for your demo graphics with the age 19-49 It a great show no matter what your age. Be smart and KEEP IT ON THE AIR If you want to cance a show how about Two Broke Girls(no acting there)
This is a great show and should stay on the air…I’m hooked on the characters and the story line. and will really miss it if it goes away.
I just LOVE this show. Michael C. and Dennis Q. are such a great combo. Please DON”T CANCELit!!!!!
Don’t cancel Vegas. I tremendously enjoy that show. It is vastly better that most of the shows that are on the air!
