So I Won't Be Watching Any New CBS Shows They Will Be Introducing In The Future.....

because they introduce a show - get you hooked - then cancel the show and leave you hanging without any resolution to any of the scenarios they created to keep you watching.

They cancelled one of their best shows - So Help Me Todd - great cast & characters - great and creative story lines - great combination of comedy within the story line - and in what they called their 'series finale' - they left the fans of the show hanging and wanting more - and us fans will never feel completion and acceptance.

You can't trust CBS because they don't care about their loyal viewers and they think so little of us.

Again - as a result - I'm not going to get started on any new show on CBS - lest they pull the rug out from under their loyal viewers and leave us hanging.

They cannot quantify the intangibles so to them they do not exist or must be destroyed. It is the Boeing story that will be played out to most corporations.

I tried it and what a snooze fest. I felt bad for Marsha Gay Harden who had to suffer through episode after episode. Networks are not charity. If people watched, they’d renew. People didn’t watch after seeing it.

Any network will cancel any show if the ratings aren’t good enough.

That they canceled this fantastic show. It was one of the best shows I’ve watched in a long time. You are correct- the cast is wonderful, the writing was excellent, great story lines-this show had it all. It reminded me of several years ago when shows like Burn Notice and Suits were aired. I think they called it blue sky tv-really good shows. I told my husband last night that CBS could have had at least the decency to produce a final episode that would wrap everything up instead of leaving their audience with a cliffhanger. Ridiculous. I understand there is a petition for the show to be reinstated or picked up by another network. I’m going to try to find it to add my name.

it was good as well. Didn’t really care for the last episode of Young Sheldon either. The first one of two was okay, but second one seemed unfinished.

... there's always the chance that they've sold it to somebody with deep pockets like Netflix or Amazon Prime. I'm just waiting for the announcement that the show isn't really cancelled, it's moving....
