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?
TO the Producers of Vegas: PLEASE consider promoting & moving Vegas to another network if CBS will not renew.
TO TV Series Finale: Please provide an online petition to CBS for the fans to sign.
Vegas is a rare, excellent show with a loyal audience.
Thank you.
I LOVE THE SHOW & CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE CANCELLING IT.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH CBS ARRE THEY OUT OF THERE MINDS.
SO SORRY TO SEE THIS ONE GO IT WAS SO INTERESTING AND FULL OF ACTION AND VERY DISAPPOINTED THEY ARE DOING THIS.
THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER SHOWS THAT STINK AND THEY KEEP THEM ON TV.
SAD DAY..
I love this show – why is it that when something is good poof away it goes. The relationship between Quaid and Chiklis was dynamic – as with all the other cast. Please bring it back
When I read the news that this series is not going to be renewed I gasped. It is unfortunate that the networks are impatient and require immediate results. This series has it all. It’s smart and entertaining. The entire cast is exceptional, which is highly uncommon in today’s TV lineup. I look forward to each episode. As I see it this time the network is getting I wrong. Please allow us to have a choice to enjoy a smart show … not interested in peeking into someone’s exagerrated life in a reality show or be subjected to a slasher series.… Read more »
You know, every spring the commercials on Tv get more obnoxious, and harder to bear. I’m guessing it is due to an influx of college graduates into the advertising business. Colleges teach their students to get their audiences attention and most of the time they go overboard. VEGAS has gotten my attention! It would be a shame to leave this shows destiny to younger people who can’t make up their own minds whether to text, eat, or take a crap. If this show gets cancelled, I’ll know someone at CBS is definitely crazy! If you cancel Vegas, just move Blue… Read more »
i love show
DENNIS QUAID IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL IN THIS. LOVE THE SHOW A MUST TO KEEP
When “Vegas” was first promoted before it began on Tuesday’s, I said I’d NEVER watch that show. Too much testosterone! To make a long story short, it has become a favorite show, and continues to get better each week, in spite of being shoved to Friday night date night. Advertisers cherish the 18-49 age ratings. I am a retired ad exec. At one time it was the golden calf. Now, with young adults straight out of college owing huge tuition bills, not able to find a job, living at home, internet and video crazy, they don’t have the cash those… Read more »
Give this show another season. So tired of shows not given a chance and we just get more of the crappy reality shows. Vegas is a GREAT show and deserves another season. ALOT of people are tired of the reality garbage. Leave this show alone. We want a season 2
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show, have seen every episode, and think it’s gotten better as the season progresses. Great writing, interesting and varied characters, and totally cool props and scenery. The feel of the era has really been captured. Can’t wait for the season finale tomorrow, I only hope it’s not the last episode. CBS would be crazy not to renew this show.
Great show! Keep it going!
LOVE, LOVE Vegas!! I hope CBS renews it!
Keep Vegas going, great show with a great cast! Highlight of my week
I like Vegas and it is a good show. Sometimes it is funny
Please keep Vegas its one of the few good shows on Tv I like all the characters very interesting
