CBS appears poised to win Sunday night in adults 18-49 and total viewers with an NCAA basketball overrun that scrambled its fast-national averages. ABC’s Once Upon A Time (2.8/8) was down a tenth from last week to a new series low. Desperate Housewives (2.6/7) was up a tenth from last week’s fast national, flat with the final. GCB (2.2/6) rebounded from its third-week slip last Sunday, up 10%. In 18-49, ABC (2.2/6, 7.5 million) finished a hair behind CBS (2.3/6, 10.2 million) in the non-time-zone adjusted fast nationals. NBC’s Harry’s Law (0.8/2) does not feel comfortable in the new Sunday time slot, dropping 20% and posting a second 18-49 series low in as many weeks. The Celebrity Apprentice (1.8/5) was even with last week and tied as its season low. Fox aired a mix of reruns and originals. At 7:30 PM, The Cleveland Show (1.5/5) was flat. Following a Simpsons rerun, a new Bob’s Burgers (2.0/5) was down just a tenth from last week when it followed an original. At 9:30 PM, American Dad (2.0/5) was down 9%.

NBC just cancel Harry’s Law already! It’s NEVER going to be a hit and worse it never was. That awful Wonder Woman pilot would’ve gotten better ratings!
HL a 0.8 in primetime! NBC this is just pathetic. It’s just crazy how old this skews – it had something like 8MM viewers. Wow. Between Brian Williams, The Firm and HL, NBC is at CW levels.
You fail to mention that Harry’s law pulled in 8 million viewers — NBC’s highest rated drama in terms of viewers.
Very true, and yet I don’t know if that will be enough to save it. While being a solid show, it will be interesting to see how slavish the network will be to the 18-49 age group. I suspect this show will struggle to survive that point of view.
Harry’s Law is funny, controversial and just plain holds my interest!
However, I am old and therefore NBC doesn’t care what we oldsters like.
Time to go back and play on my computer. I sure don’t need NBC in my life!!!
I love Harry’s Law, I just wish that season 2 was like season 1! Sometimes you can’t change a good thing! You can enhance but don’t totally change it all at once.
Harry’s Law will get better!
I too really enjoy NBC’s “Harry’s Law”. Kathy Bates (who is outstanding) & the rest of the crew blend so well. But they have to leave it alone, in one place so people get used to it.
The burgers were particularly delicious at Bob’s last night. Followed it up with a little soft serve. Swirled.
It wasn’t failed to be mentioned it was the painfully low demo ratings looks even WORSE considering its 8 million viewers. Highest rated and THAT’S the demo? Cut the cord NBC, advertisers will laugh at that demo.
Those are very disturbing numbers for a primetime show on any network, let alone NBC. Either move Harry’s Law or just CXL it for good and move it to Saturdays to burn off the remaining episodes. Bates better get her resume updated but with Trump’s show, he’ll claim it did great and is saving NBC like Regis did with ABC 10 + years ago. Could care less about DH and that horrible GCB show.
NBC needs to do a better job about promoting Harry’s Law. I happen to find it by accident last Sunday. I turned the dial to NBC at 8pm this evening and it’s not on. I love the show for it’s wit and intelligence.
Love this show just so I can see Kathy Bates each week. Don’t even care that much if it’s “believable” or not-what is? Grimm? (love that too)
Someone on another site said that this show did not set a good example for lawyers-really? Now we are supposed to have fictional attorneys as role models? Just keep Kathy Bates in something!
All if my friends, who, by the way are over 60 absolutely love Harry’s Law. Pertinent issues are explored and the humor is great. Too bad we don’t count in the polls. We buy products too and are always looking for something new that works better. Please keep Harry’s Law for us oldies.
Harry’s Law will be missed. The issues covered were handled very thoughtfully- usually playing out both sides. Kathy Bates is a wonder and I will miss the entire cast. So, I am 67 years old and not some fuzzy old bat. Give us shows like Harry’s Law- in fact, give us Harry’s Law. Hope someone picks up the repeats…
Why is it when you put on a good show it seems that when ppl enjoy it you decide that it isn’t for the ppl. Harry’s Law was down to earth and she went at it like most of us wish we could. Oh well I am sure u will put on some garbage that is suppose to be much better.Just saying.
I can’t understand why NBC would cancel Harry’s Law. This was a very good show with good ratings.Wish it would be picked up by a smarter network,and by this decision comes back to hurt NBC.
finally a good show and you All cancel it…I am so sick of talent shows survivors real housewifes, storage wars aND ALL THE OTHER CRAP AND YOU CANCEL hARRY
