Simply ridiculous to cancel Bluff City Law. What a great show. So disappointed in the cancelation decisions being made. Love this show and the actors.
Finally, a decent, emotional show that isn’t silly and comedic. Naturally, that is not something NBC would want to continue. One of our favorite shows. Such a stupid decision.
The show sucks and the writing is horrific. Basement level talent. NBC shouldn’t ever have greenlit it
I loved this show, one of the few I enjoyed and looked forward to
This makes me sick. Another great show cancelled. Out of all the new shows this year this was in my top two. And they keep the stupidest shows on year after year. Bluff City Law had a marvelous cast and story line. What a shame.
Seems too quick to cancel this great show! Why not give it a chance. I don’t understand NBC’s reason for cancelling great shows eg The Brave!
Bc they suck. And ironically the same terrible ‘writer’ that wrote the also CANCELLED AFTER ONE SEASON the Brave is the creator/writer of this snooze fest. The guy sucks and nbc needs to find fresh, talented creatives instead of this trash.
Sad I enjoyed this show & the cast.But they continue to put these ridiculous “reality” shows or talked shows that are nothing but their political views that they want to stuff down your throat .
Huge Mistake – typical NBC move – another great show bites the dust. Only thing worth watching on that channel besides football
I agree with you Lynn 100%. I am really enjoying Bluff City Law as are all my friends. What is wrong with NBC????
I’m so tired of good shoes being cancelled after a few episodes.
Give the show a chance.
Look at the shows that are being renewed. Nearly all seem to appeal to the younger audience. That seems to be the way things go. Very disappointed in NBC!
I agree with everyone else!!! This is a good show!!! You are not giving it a long enough chance NBC!!! Give it more time!!! Change your mind and keep this good show!!!
Nice to see all the desperado writers from this steaming turd trying to change the narrative. The show sucks. Sorry not sorry.
Love the show sorry it is cancelled
It is a shame to see such a good show being cancelled. I love the show and the characters. It seems like networks keep shows that they should not and cancel the good ones.
It is a shame that a good show is being cancelled, good story line & good characters. NBC should rethink their decision, maybe another network will pick this show up.
Love this show! I’m gonna miss it for sure.
I am so disappointed. I looked forward to watching it every week. One of the best on TV. This makes no sense. I guess it was too “clean” for NBC.
Totally agree!!!!
The show has brought me to tears. It was simply the best. So many interesting angles that could of continued to develop between the main characters. It get it, another legal show when there has been so many. I almost didn’t watch. But I did and it was fantastic.I am beyond disappointed.
One of the few new NBC shows I have enjoyed. There are others I just shake my head that they made it more than one season and NBC has so few viable shows they are forced to rerun on Friday or Saturday nights.
Great show! So, disappointed in their decision not to renew it for the second season… is so much better than a lot of the junk on tv anymore!
Totally shocked that NBC cancelled this show. It was one of the best shows my wife and I have watched in many years. NBC does not have a clue and in fact we are done watching the station period after this.
Typical. Any show on NBC that is family oriented must be immediately eliminated. Only15 to 25 year olds are important. I am sure it will be replaced with another moronic reality show. Shows like American Dreams (Many years ago), and most recently The Village, which was a fantastic show, must go! Way to limit your audience NBC!
