Lame!!!!!
Stuart Dangerfield says
Agreed, this show was good fun. It wasn’t deep or meaningful or artistically brilliant. It made no statements was not socially relevant it was simply good fun. I am from the UK, I gather most people on this site are from the U.S. I don’t know if our taste in on-screen entertainment is completely incompatible (we enjoy the same movies so I cant see why that should be?) or what, but its your tv execs who make the hard decisions on the majority of programmes both countries. I can only speak for the British viewing public but whoever these tv executives are they seem way out of wack? Cancelling StarGate Universe was upsetting for me, although that may be personal preference on my part. But what about Constantine? Cancelling that was a dreadful decision. Forever was one of the best tv shows I had seen in years and now this. The Mysteries of Laura was funny but it wasn’t just a comedy it was also a drama and really a good quality one. The detective with two kids and an ex husband who was not only her superior at work but was also very good looking and not a bad guy deep down. A realistic down to earth scenario which mirrors real life. How many people marry co-workers? How many people marry co-workers have problems with their relationship yet still have to work together every day? A real life situation with the potential for great comedy. Add in great drama and whats not too like? Yee Haa
Rori says
There is something definitely wrong with whomever is making the decisions about what shows should be cancelled at NBC!
LA says
Well stated! !!!
P.A. says
I don’t know how the decisions r made as to what NBC shows ar cancelled but Game of Silence and Heartbeat should not have been cancelled. They r both great shows. As to the cancellation of the Mysteries of Laura, the ending of the last episode was the one we were waiting for. U really should ask the opinion of the people watching!
Kathy Marshall says
I agree. NBC takes off the adult shows and the tendency. To more reality shows is absurd, in my opinion. I would rather watch a show where you need to use your brain and not substitute more ridiculous reality shows.
shows. Just sayin.
Lisa Christianson says
A terrible decision…very well written show. I will really miss it.
Robert Perkins says
Finally! I love Debra Messing but this show just did nothing for me. Thing in the show would never happen in a real police station.
Kathy says
I am amazed at the stuff they do keep. I loved this show. Wanted to see what was going to happen between her and her ex? 1 more year would be great. How about it?
Wanda Watkins says
I love this show. What is wrong with NBC?
Charlotte says
All my friends & family love this show’ Please bring it back as well as Game of Silence. What is wrong with NBC!
LA says
Another good show cancelled at NBC. Clearly whomever is making these final decisions must be liquored up when they are deciding the fates of shows.
Carole says
Good grief, what idiots make these decisions! Loved this show…good cast, easy viewing….definitely deserved another season at least….big shame
Shelia Dixon says
I think I’m gonna just Redbox and netflix. Every time I get interested in regular tv, it gets cancelled. They have axed a lot of good shows this year, Mike & Molly, POI, Grandfathered, Rizzoli & Isles.etc. Sad
BL says
Rizzoli & Isles airs June 6th on TNT.
NME says
It’s the last season.
TIRED of Games says
What are the powers that be smoking at NBC??????
They cancel Mysteries of Laura and didn’t even give Game of Silence a chance yet they keep the TIRED Law and Order SVU???? Who does Ms
Haggarty know? That show is more tired than my 93 year old grannie. Also what does Hollywood Game Show offer that I missed?????? How about Superstore?????
WELL NBC NO NOTHINGS CBS, ABC, FX , FOX and NETFLEX here I come.
Thank god my remote lets me block channels, You have screwed me for the LAST TIME,
TJ says
I agree with the comments – just get interested in a show & it gets cut! So happy Blue Bloods has another season. Hope it gets many more.
Michael says
I can promise you that I will NOT be watching anymore new shows next year . I’m tired of getting into a great show with wonderful people and having it yanked away from me . You could have at least given Mysteries of Laura another half season to finish off the series with a proper ending . It’s no wonder more people are cutting the cord and watching Hulu , Netflix and Amazon Prime at least with them you have a better idea of what your getting. Good luck getting people to watch any new shows in the future , not wasting my time on NBC anymore.
Not Happy! says
I feel like my heart has been thrown onto the floor and squashed under someone’s shoe, thanks to all the cancellation announcements this year. I’ve started worrying about getting too attached to a show, because it seems every time I do, it gets cancelled.
At least finish off the love stories in The Mysteries of Laura and Grandfathered. I think viewers deserve an ending when a show is axed (a good ending though, not an ending like Lost). It doesn’t even have to be on television. Surely most people would rather watch an ending on the internet, than not at all. It’s not fair to leave people hanging. We deserve better than that. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
Stuart Dangerfield says
Not Happy! I agree completely. Most shows that get cancelled have some following. It seems lately that a lot of shows getting cancelled have mass followings of committed fans. These viewers deserve closure. When the decisino to cancel a show is made the cast etc must still be under contract. Surely a two or three episode run to tie up loose ends and give the series some climax or finale could be made. As you say it could even be broadcast on the internet or accessed there. I would imagine it would make the series more lucrative for re-runs on other chanels and cable etc. Whatever it would give the viewer and fans somewhere to draw the line and not leave them wondering how it may have turned out. Closure of sorts. As it stands I used to be a buyer of dvd and digital copies of series that I liked, I must have over a hundred dvd boxsets (all 10 seasons of StarGate!) and many more on digital. What I have begun to do is NEVER watch or buy a series until it has run, or not, for a few seasons. This way I don’t spend £30 odd on each season of a series and then have it cancelled £60 in, sorry, a couple of seasons in! It has also worked out considerably cheaper as by the time I decide they look like there is enough to make a meaningful storyline the first two seasons cost hardly anything or have found there way on to Amazon Priime! If we all did this I wonder how long they would last before realsing that the customer, the viewer wants an ending with an explanation of loose ends and not just a brick wall just ass it was getting good. Yee Haa
Nicoletta KuchulisProctor says
I don’t know why they keep stupid shows ans cancel the good one? I love this show i hate all this reality tv crap that gets kept and this good show gets cancelled. Who makes these stupid dissions?
NME says
I agree.
Erin says
I’m really disappointed that this show has been canceled. I fell in love with the characters and the plot…desperately want to know what happens next! Debra Messing is fantastic! Bring the show back!!!!
Bernice says
I agree. The show is great and the actors are fantastic. Maybe a cable channel will pick it up. NBC needs to get somebody who knows what good TV is.
Becky Arguelles says
I’m really disappointed that another good show that I watch is cancelled. What is wrong with the networks? No wonder people are watching Netflix. The writing was great. Action, Drama, Comedy and Romance.
Richard Allgood says
Another show that was worth watching gone. Who ever makes the choice to cancel a show like this should listen to the fans.There are other networks other than the big three.
Jeanne Lanzilla says
Yet another utterly STUPID decision by NBC! How does Law & Order SVU stay on the air and good shows get cancelled? Idiots must be making the decisions.
BL says
Yeah, cancel Mysteries of Laura and don’t even finish out the storyline and this is right after you cancel Undateable. I am sooo done with this network… just disgusted!
Ms smokey says
I know my thoughts doesn’t matter but this was one of your better shows, I loved watching it.
mike says
Of course they cancelled Laura it was a good show
NBC i think it means
Naivete This is a lack of wisdom and sophistication.
Baleful Baleful means the foreshadowing of tragic or evil
Caustic capable of destroying
When ever a good show starts or in fact any series they show it one an cancel I think the person who is responsible for all this cancellations has one hand down their pants and enjoying it.
Maria Wilkes says
Well that sucks big time, shame on you NBC. I loved that show and you left us hanging trying to figure out if Laura and Jake ever get together.
shirley george says
Shirley says:
another great show bites the dust. as I said before take some of these idiotic shows off and leave the good ones. agree with previous statement. did Laura and Jake get back together.
