CBS has released its 2024-2025 television season schedule, and the NCISverse is strong.
The bad news is that NCIS: Hawai’i was recently canceled and removed from the CBS schedule.
Many NCIS: Hawai’i fans have signed a petition to resurrect the Monday night show, but the network is moving on without it for now.
The two shows added to the primetime schedule are NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney.
NCIS: Origins is a prequel show set in 1991 that will tell stories about younger versions of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Mike Franks.
NCIS: Sydney is a spin-off filmed and based in Australia, which found massive success in primetime during the two Hollywood strikes.
When does NCIS, NCIS: Origins, and NCIS: Sydney air on CBS?
Below is the breakdown of when NCIS fans can view the three shows.

CBS has heard the cries of Blue Bloods fans loud and clear. Unfortunately, despite pleas from the cast and fans to keep the show going (including a fan-run “#SaveBlueBloods” campaign), CBS still plans to end Blue Bloods with Season 14 and has officially set its series finale date for December 2024. The decision to stick to Blue Bloods‘ cancellation was announced among a swath of updates on CBS’ content slate on Thursday, May 2. CBS President Amy Reisenbach said in a press conference that while CBS will miss Blue Bloods, “All shows have to come to an end,” per Deadline. She noted the pleas from the show’s stars to let them continue and said, “We love this cast, we love their passion for the show. All shows have to come to an end. It’s important to us to refresh the schedule. We are going to end the show come December.” Tom Selleck...

CBS announced not only its fall schedule, but a full lineup for the 2024-2025 broadcast season at a Los Angeles press briefing on Thursday.
As “Young Sheldon” is currently wrapping up its final season on Thursdays at 8 p.m., a headline of the slate is spinoff series “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” taking over that spot, leading into “Ghosts” at 8:30 p.m. Additionally, “Tracker” — not only the No. 1 new series of the 2023-2024 season, but the most-watched series overall — is getting an earlier position, moving from Sundays at 9 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Several CBS traditions remain intact. Tuesdays remain “FBI” night with the flagship series airing at 8 p.m. followed by “FBI: International” at 9 p.m. and “FBI: Most Wanted” at 10 p.m. On Mondays, “NCIS” holds onto its 9 p.m. timeslot, and after the cancellation of “NCIS: Hawai’i,” it’s 9:30 p.m. position will be taken...

Tom Selleck may have warned CBS earlier this year that there are an “awful lot of people” who aren’t ready to say goodbye to Blue Bloods, but there are no plans to extend the police procedural beyond its 14th and final season.
During a press conference Thursday to discuss the fall schedule, Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach conceded that while they will miss the series at CBS, the drama will still wrap after the second half airs this fall.
The first half of Blue Bloods‘ 14th season kicked off February 16. The second half of the season will return in October.
“We really want to thank the cast and crew, everyone involved in the show,” Reisenbach told reporters. “We absolutely will miss the family dinners. It is important to give show the sendoff it deserves.”

CBS today became the first broadcast network to present its fall schedule. And, in line with CBS’ new strategy for long-term development and planning, the network announced its schedule for the entire 2024-25 season. It is contingent on IATSE making a new deal with the studios to avoid a strike. At the unveiling of the schedule, George Cheeks, President and CEO of CBS, said that they have contingency plans should a work stoppage occur but wouldn’t elaborate further. “If we need to delay, we are ready,” he said.

CBS executives were keenly aware of the elephant in the room Thursday as new co-ceo George Cheeks and entertainment president Amy Reisenbach opened their fall schedule presentation by addressing the latest rumblings in the sale process of parent company Paramount Global.
“It’s a super quiet, uneventful week for us,” Cheeks quipped as he kicked off the hourlong presentation just moments after news broke that Sony and Apollo submitted a $26 billion cash offer to buy Paramount Global.
Other than addressing morale — “we’ve all locked arms” and are “focusing on what we can control,” Cheeks said — both execs spent the press briefing at the Paramount offices in Hollywood focused on CBS and its 2024-25 schedule.
Cheeks and Reisenbach opened with a victory lap of sorts as CBS finished the strikes-impacted 2023-24 in first place, breaking a decades-old record set by the network with 16 straight season victories and 21 of the past 22 years.

Led by ‘Tracker,’ CBS Declares Early Viewership Victory for the Truncated 2023-2024 Broadcast Season
Though the 2023-2024 TV season isn’t over yet, CBS is on track to maintain its title as the most-watched network for the 16th season in a row. Provided it stays on top over the next month, the broadcaster would break its own record for the longest-ever winning streak, which was set between 1955 and 1970.
According to Live + 7 data measured by Nielsen through April 21, CBS is averaging 5.59 million viewers, putting it 580,000 ahead of its closest competitor, which is NBC with an average 5.01 million viewers. ABC and Fox trail behind at 4.29 million and 3.35 million viewers, respectively.
The winning lineup is led by “Tracker,” the Justin Hartley-led drama series that is not only the most-watched new series of the season but the most-watched series overall. Behind “Tracker,” CBS also has the next three most-watched shows: “NCIS,” “Young Sheldon” and “FBI.” The No. 5 series is NBC’s “Chicago Fire,” followed by two more CBS titles,...

There is a family that has been in the police force for three generations. The grandfather is a former commissioner, the father is the current one, the eldest son is already a detective, the only daughter in the family is the only exception and works as a lawyer. And the youngest son has just joined the police force after graduating from the academy.
Thus begins the plot of Blue Bloods, perhaps the most important police drama of the decade. The show is firmly tied to the members of the Reagan family, who seem to be involved in every crime in New York. But Blue Bloods isn't just popular for its Reagan family members – there are many other beloved characters, including Abigail Baker.

The trailer drops us right into the whirlwind of Season 3 by showing familiar members of society returning to town from summering in the country or other travels.
Everyone looks refreshed, and Colin Bridgerton seems to have brought back a pair of incredibly defined cheekbones from Greece!
Fans have been enthusiastic about Luke Newton's casting as Colin since Season 1, even if they haven't always approved of his character's choices.
The actor has an enthusiastic and protective fanbase on Reddit that is quick to educate those who blame their frustrations with the character of Colin Bridgerton on the actor who plays him.
Viewers do seem united in their approval of the traveling Mr. Bridgerton's recent glow-up, which Newton also seems to have enjoyed for his character.

Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 8 spoilers promise danger for Danny and Baez, thanks to an old enemy.
This will likely bring on the suspense, but will it also finally push their relationship over the line from friendship to something else?
Baez and Danny's relationship has divided the fandom. People either ship them or hate the idea of anything but a close friendship and work partnership.
Still, with Blue Bloods getting close to its midseason finale (the rest of the final season will air in the fall), the evolution of this relationship would get fans talking!

According to spoilers, serial killer Sam Evans gets out of prison early. Evans targeted Baez and her daughter on Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 20, seeking revenge because Baez had put him away 20 years earlier.
It seems unrealistic that he'd be released from prison only a year later. His case should first be going...

CBS has been reeling fans in with dramas for over 50 years now, and it doesn't look like the network has any plans to stop.
The network really has something for everybody in its repertoire, whether you're looking for someone quirky and spooky like The Twilight Zone or want a procedural with dramatic flair like NCIS.
There are decades of dramas to be accounted for, but we're going to focus on some of the more recent dramas on CBS.
However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch CBS classics like Murder, She Wrote, Gunsmoke, Dallas, The Twlight Zone, and more.
When you're not catching up on older CBS classics, here's what we recommend watching for a more modern setting.

It's been nearly six months since the end of the unprecedented 2023 Hollywood labour disputes, which sent shockwaves through the entire entertainment industry with the suspension or cancellation of many popular and not-so-popular movies and TV series. Even now, however, the film and television industries do not seem to have fully recovered, as evidenced by distorted TV schedules, the shortening or bisection of new seasons of scripted shows, and sudden cancellations and renewals.
The case of CBS is particularly telling. While the network's flagship series such as Blue Bloods and Young Sheldon are in their final seasons, other projects are being actively renewed. Recently, CBS reversed its decision to cancel S.W.A.T. due to high ratings and picked up the police procedural for another season. The Good Wife spin-off Elsbeth has also been renewed for a second season.

The end of the TV season is always heartbreaking.
Not only do our favorites wrap up for the season, but some shows end forever. And the 2024 season is one of the worst ever.
There are at least seven series ending that we don't want to say goodbye to, but the finales are coming up fast.
The 2024 season was more heartbreaking than most. The season was truncated because of the WGA writers' and Sga-aftra actors' strikes.
Many beloved shows had short seasons of 10-13 episodes, and some with even fewer new shows. There have been long hiatuses that seemed to begin almost as soon as shows finally started airing. Worst of all, many series cancelations were announced just as shows began airing.
There was a bloodbath over at many networks, but CBS had the highest number of casualties, with five of the seven shows we're most heartbroken about leaving that network.

10. Only the Reagans Work in Law Enforcement
From how often (read: all the time) Danny, Erin, and Jamie’s cases intersect, you’d guess that apart from the Reagans, there aren’t any other law enforcement professionals in the entirety of New York City. If there’s a case, it just goes straight to the Reagans — and we’re not even talking about another problem that implies… Yet.
9. Conflict of Interests Legally Doesn’t Exist
Building upon the previous point… Erin and Jack are always opposing each other in court despite being ex-wife and husband. Danny barges into Erin’s office pleading with her to give him a warrant despite their being siblings. Blue Bloods once looked at the concept of “conflict of interests” and threw it away because it was plain boring.

Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan aren’t ready to say goodbye to Blue Bloods. The co-stars stopped by The Drew Barrymore Show on April 23 to talk about the final season of the CBS show. Both made it clear that they weren’t thrilled that the show was ending.

During their sit-down, Barrymore asked Wahlberg and Moynahan how they felt about Blue Bloods being canceled after 14 seasons
“I think everybody’s really upset and sad, but also happy and satiated?” she asked.
“More upset and sad,” Wahlberg replied.
“I think it’s more saying goodbye to the people behind the characters,” Moynahan went on to say. “We’ve created such a family on set with each other and the crew — most of the crew’s been with us for 14 years, so we’ve been through a lot of weddings,...

The series is stacked with suspense, heroism, high stakes and formidable characters our audience roots for. We look forward to another dynamic season,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.
Despite Queen Latifah’s killer performance in Season 4, there were a lot of rumors about a potential Equalizer cancellation. This past season the ratings were solid, but definitely nothing to write home about.

Yes! We finally got a real family dinner scene.
No, that wasn't the point of Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 7, but the family dinners have been given short shrift for far too long, often getting tacked onto the end as if they were an afterthought the writers rushed to include.
The dinner conversation mostly revolved around a silly story involving Frank's opposition to Sid's plan to get in the ring with a cop he couldn't stand. However, the family bonding, teasing each other, and telling old stories were all there, making up for the nonsensical storyline.
Frank's story was more comic relief than anything else. Whenever he argued with anyone about whether Sid should have a boxing match with Sergeant Russo, it seemed like he should have better things to do.
Frank: About this fight at the smoker...
Russo: He told you?
Frank: I'm the police commissioner. I know everything.

It came down to the wire, but NCIS: Hawai’i ultimately didn’t make the cut for next season at CBS. The news comes days before the network is set to announce its fall schedule on May 2 and before the Season 3 finale of Hawai’i is scheduled to air on May 6. According to sources, the episode was not meant to be a series finale and includes a tease for what was to come but fans won’t be left reeling by a major cliffhanger.
The cancellation is not a complete shocker since, as Deadline has been reporting, NCIS: Hawai’i was on the bubble. Still, the outcome is surprising since an effort was made to extend the well performing drama’s run for at least an abbreviated fourth and final season, with producers agreeing to a massive budget cut and open to other concessions in order to keep the show going.

“NCIS: Hawai’i” has been canceled at CBS.
The “NCIS” spinoff is currently airing its third season at the broadcast network. The season finale scheduled to air on May 6 will now serve as the series finale.
“NCIS: Hawai’i” was the fourth series in the “NCIS” franchise and is now the third series to end. Both “NCIS: New Orleans” and “NCIS: Los Angeles” ended in the past few years after seven and 14 seasons respectively.
That is not to say the franchise is not still going strong. The mothership series was renewed at the beginning of April. CBS is also prepping a prequel series about a young Jethro Leroy Gibbs, while Paramount+ is readying a spinoff that will see the returns of both Cote de Pablo and Michael Weatherly. Paramount+ and CBS also air “NCIS: Sydney,” which was renewed for a second season in March.

Blue Bloods returns after a brief hiatus for the final four episodes of Season 14 Part One.
The final season of the hit CBS show has been divided into two parts, with the final eight episodes airing next fall.
Well, that is unless Blue Bloods fans get their wish and CBS renews the show at the last minute, just like with S.W.A.T.
CBS likely won’t decide about the fate of Blue Bloods until next year, but the good news is that the fans have been loud telling the network to “cancel the cancel.”
In the meantime, summer break is on the horizon, bringing the first part of Blue Bloods Season 14 to an end.
Let’s examine what we know about the remaining Blue Bloods Season 14 spring episodes.

After the sad news that Blue Bloods would be concluding after the current season, fans were devastated. However, now Donnie Wahlberg has revealed how he feels about the long-running TV series canceling.
Donnie Wahlberg And Bridget Moynahan Discuss Blue Bloods With Drew
Currently, Blue Bloods is in its 14th and final season. Sadly, it was on the chopping block by the network in November. On Tuesday, Donnie and co-star, Bridget Moynahan, were guests on The Drew Barrymore Show. During the episode, they discuss the concluding episodes of Blue Bloods. Undeniably, CBS fans first fell in love with the Reagans, a family of law enforcement officials in New York City, during their 2010 premiere. Within the series, Donnie plays Detective Danny Reagan. Furthermore, Bridget is his on-screen sister, Erin, a bureau chief in the District Attorney’s Office. Although the news of the cancelation was delivered months ago, the cast is still having a difficult time.

On April 11, CBS saved S.W.A.T. from cancellation, for the second time no less.
This reprieve came after three characters had already been written out this season. And additional exits may be coming, as it was hinted that Commander Hicks might be departing to take care of his ailing lover on S.W.A.T. Season 7 Episode 9.
So, who exactly will be in the 20 Squad returning for S.W.A.T. Season 8? Hondo, Powell, the new guy who replaced Street, and who else?
Ah, well, that's a problem for the series' showrunner and writers this summer. At least salaries for lesser-known actors should be less of a bite on the budget.
One side effect of this surprise rescue of S.W.A.T. is that Blue Bloods fans want their show, now in its 14th and supposedly final season, saved as well.
First off, let's remember it's a bad time to be a scripted network series. Just ask fans of Station 19, The Good Doctor,...

“The Equalizer” has been renewed for Season 5 at CBS, Variety has learned.
“’The Equalizer,’ led by the incomparable Queen Latifah, has all the best elements of a powerful drama,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The series is stacked with suspense, heroism, high stakes and formidable characters our audience roots for. We look forward to another dynamic season.”
With the renewal, the only current CBS series awaiting word of its fate is “NCIS: Hawai’i.” The network has renewed much of its scripted lineup already, including recent pickups for “Elsbeth” and the “FBI” franchise. CBS recently announced it was canceling both “So Help Me Todd” and “CSI: Vegas,” while shows like “Bob Hearts Abishola,” “Blue Bloods” and “Young Sheldon” are coming to an end.
Per CBS, “The Equalizer” is currently averaging over 10 million viewers per episode in Live+35 multiplatform viewing. The show is based on the 1980s CBS series of the same name.

CBS has picked up a fifth season of drama The Equalizer, starring and executive produced by Queen Latifah, for 2024-25.
As Deadline reported last week, the renewal was fully expected, with the delay related to lead studio Universal Television negotiating a deal with Queen Latifah. It recently closed, paving the way to a renewal.
So far, The Equalizer‘s seasons had been capped at 18 episodes, which is something top talent often request when signing on for a broadcast drama series. There was an effort in the Queen Latifah negotiation to increase the number to 20 or more but I hear Season 5 will again consist of 18 episodes.
After Elsbeth renewed and So Help Me Todd and CSI: Vegas canceled last week, NCIS: Hawai’i remains the only CBS scripted series in limbo.

As Deadline reported last week, Hawai’i’s future is said to be the subject of tough business conversations, with a partial Season 4 of 13 or fewer episodes still a possibility. It could be a final chapter for the show, the first installment in the NCIS franchise with a female lead.
The Equalizer has been a strong performer for CBS, currently ranking as the #8 most watched among all non-sports broadcast programs, averaging 7.89M linear viewers (in Nielsen most current data) and over 10 million viewers in Live+35 multi-platform viewership. It also is the #1 entertainment program among African Americans.

Co-produced by CBS Studios, The Equalizer is one of four drama series Universal Television, part of Universal Studio Group, makes for CBS, along with the three FBIs, all of which were also recently renewed, the flagship for three seasons.
A reimagining of the classic series, The Equalizer stars Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn.
Lorraine Toussaint, Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira and Laya DeLeon Hayes also star. Andrew Marlowe, Terri Edda Miller, co-showrunners Joseph C. Wilson and Adam Glass, Dana Owens (Queen Latifah), John Davis, John Fox, Debra Martin Chase, Richard Lindheim (co-creator of the original series), Shakim Compere, Joseph C. Wilson and Loretha Jones are executive producers. The Equalizer airs on CBS and is available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.

The upcoming finale of Blue Bloods divided fans into two groups: some are happy to see the show’s “suffering” end, and others are heartbleeding from watching their comfort series of many years go. Both points of view have their supporters, but the cast and crew of Blue Bloods are unanimous in their stance: they don’t want their iconic TV show to end, especially since they’ve all grown so close together.
Blue Bloods Stars Are ‘Upset and Sad’
Donnie Wahlberg, the Danny Reagan actor, has been the most vocal of the cast about the cancellation. The Blue Bloods star has always emphasized the significance of the series for him and other actors and crew, so no one was surprised when in the recent The Drew Barrymore Show episode, Wahlberg claimed that everybody on the set was feeling “more upset and sad” about the finale.

Blue Bloods stars Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan are saying a sad farewell to the CBS drama series. In an appearance Tuesday on The Drew Barrymore Show, Wahlberg and Moynahan shared a clip from the 14th and final season, which is currently airing, that features the Reagans at their weekly Sunday dinner.
Barrymore asked the two how they’re feeling as the end approaches. “I think everybody’s really upset and sad, but also happy and satiated?,” she questioned.
“More upset and sad,” Wahlberg said.
Responding to co-host Ross Mathews when asked what it feels like saying goodbye to the characters, Moynahan explained, “I think it’s more saying goodbye to the people behind the characters. We’ve created such a family on set with each other and the crew — most of the crew’s been with us for 14 years, so we’ve been through a lot of weddings, births,...

On Paramount Plus, Blue Bloods recently received a note saying that the show leaves the streaming platform starting from May 2024. This may sound a bit confusing, especially since Paramount Plus is CBS’ very own streaming platform. Why would CBS shoot itself in the leg; where will Blue Bloods go; and how can you watch it after the show leaves Paramount Plus? Here’s what we know so far.
Blue Bloods Leaves Paramount Plus
First and foremost, not the entire TV show is leaving Paramount Plus. According to the note, only Seasons 1–11 will become unavailable on the platform in May; Seasons 12–14 are staying. But we know what you’re thinking: you can’t only binge the last three seasons, can you? That’s why you’ll need to find an alternative.
Where to Watch All Seasons of Blue Bloods?

Recently, CBS viewers were faced with an update that was, depending on the context, either incredibly disappointing or incredibly uplifting. In early April 2024, it was announced that the network had decided to reverse its decision to end S.W.A.T., starring Shemar Moore, after seven seasons. Instead, there will be at least one more season of the police procedural. So why is the update disappointing, you ask?
Well, at the very least, because despite its popularity, Blue Bloods, unlike S.W.A.T., has not been renewed and is therefore slowly coming to an end.
For nearly 14 years, Blue Bloods has been a staple of Friday night entertainment for many American households. However, the news that the iconic cop drama about the Reagan family will soon be cancelled is also disheartening because the writers may not be able to keep up with such a tight deadline to provide each character and storyline with a proper ending.

CBS' Blue Bloods has been one of its most successful shows for 14 years, but its final season may not be up to par, which could hurt its legacy.
Some fans recently took to Reddit with harsh criticism of Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 6, particularly about Erin's storyline, which involved a middle schooler accusing her of being unfair and Erin trying to make amends.
Those who complained felt this was a poor-quality story and suggested the writers had given up making any effort because of Blue Bloods' cancellation. However, a small fan group's dissatisfaction doesn't mean the writing is awful or the show isn't as good as it used to be.

Those who complained felt this was a poor-quality story and suggested the writers had given up making any effort because of Blue Bloods' cancellation. However, a small fan group's dissatisfaction doesn't mean the writing is awful or the show isn't as good as it used to be.

In the latest TV ratings, CBS’ recently un-cancelled S.W.A.T. was Friday’s most-watched show, with lead-outs Fire Country and Blue Bloods both preempted this week by an encore of Billy Joel: The 100th – Live at Madison Square Garden.

Blue Bloods latest hiatus is short. After a week-long preemption, the Reagans will be back with what appears to be one of their most intriguing plots.
So far, CBS is short on details for Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 7. What little has been released suggests that Danny and Baez have a big case that might involve the entire Reagan family.
With three episodes before the summer hiatus, will this case move the Reagans toward an exciting cliffhanger?
What little we know so far involves a serial killer targeting people in the hospital.
The promo video focuses on this case, with Danny and Baez talking to hospital staff about a string of mysterious deaths.
The partners talk with healthcare providers, one of whom says that there's something suspicious about all these deaths, and it seems that Anthony and Jamie are both involved in dangerous situations that may or may not be related.

Crime procedurals have thrived on primetime television for over two decades, and several of them are still streamed frequently.
Popular shows like Law & Order, Law & Order: Svu, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and NCIS have existed since the 1990s and the 2000s. Due to their popularity, these series have created multiple spinoffs and revivals.
Almost every network has at least one crime procedural on their primetime TV lineup. NBC has an entire night devoted to the Law & Order Universe. CBS has more procedurals than we can count, and they recently added another with Tracker, led by Justin Hartley.
While crime procedurals are still one of the most-watched genres, has the primetime TV lineup become overstuffed with them?
Let's discuss why some of them have thrived for years and the potential upcoming scheduling issues.

As far as investigators go, Jim Rockford (James Garner) is a bit of a departure from the mostly-polished (Columbo excepted) detectives of television's first decade. A slouchily dressed detective who lived in a trailer and served time in San Quentin, Rockford was cool — if not always collected. "The Rockford Files" ran for six seasons on NBC beginning in 1974 and was later resurrected for a series of '90s TV movies. In that time, audiences were introduced not only to Rockford, but to a cast of supporting characters including his truck driver dad Rocky (Noah Beery Jr.), LAPD pal Becker (Joe Santos), and the con artist Angel (Stuart Margolin).
Garner passed away in 2014, and only a few "Rockford Files" castmates are still with us today. Those who are still around include notable recurring guest stars like famously mustachioed "Blue Bloods" star Tom Selleck, Egot-winning multi-hyphenate Rita Moreno, and "Happy Gilmore" director...

After renewing 11 scripted shows for 2024-25, CBS has made its first cancellations of the spring.
The network says second-year dramedy So Help Me Todd and drama CSI: Vegas, which is in its third season, won’t return. The two shows were among just a handful of CBS scripted series whose futures were up in the air as of Friday.
CSI: Vegas is averaging about 6.4 million viewers per episode in Nielsen’s seven-day linear ratings, and So Help Me Todd draws about 6.3 million. They’re likely to be the two most watched shows to get the ax this season (not including the pre-announced end for Young Sheldon), but the bar is a bit higher at CBS — which has 12 of the top 15 scripted series since mid-February, when broadcasters rolled out their post-strike lineups — than elsewhere.
The network also has three new dramas on deck for the 2024-25 season in NCIS: Origins, which...

CBS has canceled CSI: Vegas after three seasons and So Help Me Todd after two. The news is not surprising as Deadline revealed earlier this week that both dramas were heavily on the bubble and in grave danger.
That despite CSI: Vegas and So Help Me Todd being solid ratings performers. With the entire CBS schedule doing well this season and three new drama series joining in 2024-25, NCIS: Origins, Matlock and Watson (in addition to a second season of the Australian NCIS: Sydney), the network was faced with painful decisions, and So Help Me Todd and CSI: Vegas are the least watched CBS drama series this spring in both linear and multi-platform ratings.
In most current linear Nielsen viewership (2/12 to date), CSI: Vegas, which improved its time period, is at #21 among all non-sports broadcast programs with 6.234M viewers and So Help Me Todd at #22 with 6.224M. That is more...
