Has this show been renewed yet, and if not, are chances good? The season 2finale is on Monday and still no word.

I watched the first episode and didn't like it much, but hopefully it got better. I do like Mark Paul Glossear. I haven't heard anything about the series being renewed, but I'm sure it has. It seems to be doing really well in the ratings. I will always miss NYPD Blue, though.

I'm not a ratings expert, but I'd say chances for a renewal are slim. For one, it loses half The Closer lead-in every week and can only manage so-so ratings. With Saving Grace and Hawthorne already renewed for another season and other shows also still on the bubble, a renewal is probably unlikely.

It's ashame, because the show was just starting to find it's legs this season. Superb cast, and excellent writing in season 2. I'm sorry, but I've seen Hawthorne, and it has to be TNT's dullest show.

The same thing happened to "Trust Me". It's final three episodes were my favorites.

I hope Ray Ramano's new show does well in December.

Please though, if anyone finds news, definite news or renewal or cancellation, please post it here!

It is a great cast (Jane Kaczmarek is the bright spot of the show) and I watched the entire first season, but I just wasn't finding the show good at all. The writing was weak and nothing was jumping out at me. I haven't watched this season, though.

I'm also looking forward to Ray Ramano's new show. Sounds interesting.

Julie, you should def. check out the second season. TNT starts airing reruns Sept 21st on Mondays and Tuesdays at 11pm. I'm not sure whether they are starting from season 1 or not though.

The show really struck a cord from episode four of season 2 and on! It wasn't until that episode that I really got into it. The trials, although seen and done a million times, were alot more interesting. Character development this season was fantastic, and I can't wait for tonight's season finale!
