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 love this show! Please don’t cancel it!
This is a great show and I hope it gets renewed.
I love Vegas; It is very entertaining. It does not have any special effects. Hollywood wants to put special effects in every movie to wow us .Maybe for the younger generation likes it. It’s getting a little old.
I love the series Vegas. I love the old cars, having no computers in the sheriff’s office, no cell phones, etc. I love the old Vegas, brings back memories of when Vegas was a good place to go for fun, gambling and some glitz. Seems you networks care nothing, absolutely nothing, about the demographics for older folks. Now understand, I am not 100 years old, but I do not fit into your 18-35 year old demographic either. I am 59. If you stop and think, the senior citizens actually watch the darn commercials. My age, and under, we do not… Read more »
Keep Vegas. There aren’t many good shows left. Not everyone likes reality TV. This show appeals to the older generation. These were our vehicles, music and memories of a culture that is long gone. Best new show this year!!!!!
PLEASE keep the show on air
Please DON’T cancel Vegas. It is a really entertaining show. My sister and I look to watching it every Tuesday night. We will really miss the characters we have grown to enjoy, as well as the ongoing plot. You CAN’T just leave us hanging. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL VEGAS.
R u crazy. I coulnt wait for it to come on. “Suits” at CBS need a shrink. 11 million viewers? That’s more than watch CBS news. Get it back quickly. Find a slot for it
Vegas should not be cancelled. It is one of the best shows on tv. too much junk to cancel this quality show.
PLEASE don’t cancel this show! Like everyone else is saying, it’s a great show, look forward to it every week & I also am sooooo sick of reality shows. As we loose more & more good shows, I am closer to cancelling my TV provider & forcing myself to find alternate entertainment. I’m so tired of feeling like an addict, grasping pitifally at fleeting opportunities to watch something I enjoy. I’d be better off going “cold Turkey” & throwing the damn thing out the window!
Seems like every time CBS comes up with a GOOD TV series they cancel it after one season.
Vegas is a good series and deserves another season. No let me rephrase that. We the viewer deserves another season of Vegas.
I get real frustrated with Hollywood.
WHAT CANCELLED VEGAS!!!!! IT IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV. PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW ON FOR A SECOND SEASON.
Seems like every time CBS comes up with a GOOD TV series they cancel it after one season.
Vegas is a good series and deserves another season. No let me rephrase that. We the viewer deserves another season of Vegas.
I get so frustrated with Hollywood.
Amen, I’m w/ you.
keep VEGAS — FINALLY a good show…has it all – power, romance, impact … GOOD actors. keep it on
One of the best shows on TV…do NOT cancel…please!
I’ve been shocked to hear that they’re thinking of cancelling Vegas. I wish I’d known sooner I would have been bombarding them with emails. This is a great show when I really look forward to every week. I sent an email to CBS. I wish that people would do that to … maybe they (CBS) will change their mind.
