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 would love to see Vegas renewed. It is a terrific series with a great cast. I never miss it, and love seeing all the old cars, clothes, etc. from 1960. It is a really good show and deserves to have another season.
Please keep Vegas on the air. It is one of our go to shows of the week. Every week seems to get better, The characters seem to get more complex. The Lamb’s remind me of the Regans on Blue Bloods, full of character and grit to do the right things- something rare today.The period setting and historical aspects are facinatng. LOve it. Keep it. Please.
CBS: PLEASE, PLEASE RENEW VEGAS!!! It started out a little slow but has gotten increasingly better with each episode. The last 10 or so have been phenomenal!! The story line is very realistic and the acting is superb! I’ve asked so many people about Vegas and they haven’t even heard of it – if you do more advertising, e.g. on other TV stations and popular radio stations, I’m sure the audience will expand! PLEASE GIVE IT ONE MORE SEASON!!
I LOVE this show!! So refreshing to see a really unique scripted show with GREAT actors! I’m so sick of so-called “reality” crap I could scream! This show is ALWAYS a must see every week! PLEASE KEEP IT COMING!
Vegas has got to be one of the most improved shows of the season.
Awesome writing & acting. Please give it a chance. Don’t forget…Seinfeld was pretty lame the first couple of seasons and look what happened to that show because someone with a brain gave it a chance. Please do the right thing and keep “Vegas” for the people who are fed up hearing about freakin’ “Honey Boo-Boo”.
Our whole family loves this show – adults and terns alike. Please renew for a second season!
renew Vegas
Love it
My husband and I love Vegas!! Please do not cancel!
Love it…..Only TV Prog that we never miss, fabulous American TV at it’s best..
please don`t cancel this show. There are people in T.V. land who DON~T like REALITY T.V. My husband even likes this show!!!!
This is a fabulous show, great cast, great chemistry. I look forward to watching it every week. My extended family , from Canada to US watch this show and we all love it!
Please DON’T cancel VEGAS! It’s such an enjoyable series with twists & turns, not to mention the excellent cast members. Being based on a true story also ads to the appeal. Please give it another season, at least, to catch on!
Please keep vegas I love this show
Vegas is a great show. Please don’t cancel
CBS, Please don’t cancel Vegas. Great cast and supporting cast. Really captures the look & feel of the early 60’s. The women are all gorgeous. I can’t believe it’s even in the discussion of being canceled. Great chemistry with the actors. VERY ENTERTAINING!!!! If you haven’t seen it, give it a shot! MUST STAY ON THE AIR!
