2007 Cancelled Shows: CBS Cancels Several Series
The network’s still doing well so CBS is playing it safe once again this fall. The Tiffany network is introducing very few new shows this year and sticking with most of the old favorites. Here’s what won’t be back for the 2007-08 season:
Armed & Famous - The short-lived celebrity cop show was pulled from the air back in January. All existing episodes have been aired on VH1 or CBS and there won’t be any more.
The Class - This show was devoutly loved by its fans but they were too few in number. CBS is committed to one night of comedy which means four sitcom slots. CBS chose to try one new series and renew four others with higher ratings than The Class
Close to Home - This crime drama has been rumored to be in trouble for months and, unfortunately, the rumors were true. The final episode (#44) aired last Friday.
Jericho - The Skeet Ulrich drama about a small town following a nuclear disaster started off strong but lost viewers when it returned from hiatus. The series finale aired on May 9th, 2007. 
Episodes are available via iTunes and from Amazon.com.
King of Queens - The Kevin James sitcom ended its run on Monday night after nine seasons and 207 episodes. Over 13 million watched.
Smith - The Ray Liotta series was the first to go after airing just three episodes. All seven episodes are available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
3 Lbs. - The Stanley Tucci medical drama replaced Smith and lasted just three episodes. Tucci has been cast in a regular role on NBC’s ER however. All eight episodes are available via Amazon.com
Waterfront - Remember this one? The drama starring Joe Pantoliano as a colorful mayor in Providence, R.I.? Five episodes were completed but it was canned before even one episode aired. Talk about a fast cancellation…
Returning series are: Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Ghost Whisperer, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, Numb3rs, Rules of Engagement, Shark, 60 Minutes, Survivor, Two and a Half Men, The Unit and Without a Trace.
The Amazing Race and The New Adventures of Old Christine will return midseason (January) or earlier. Stay tuned!

Why would you cancel a show as GREAT as SHARK? Everyone that I have mentioned the cancelling of Shark, agrees that C.B.S. does not know what programs to keep and which ones to cancel. WHY??? Why couldn’t you leave time original time slot alone. It obviously was working or bring it down to prime time. But when you change it no one really knew about it. Thank God for Tivo. Please reconsider. Even the video stores have sold out of the DVD series, BRING IT BACK…PLEASE!!!!!

I agree with so much as to what hotbot said in his spot. The network needs to survey its fan base to see what it wants, not a bunch of reality shows (who cares). I can not say what I would like to say because it might blush one your secertaries or admin’s. You people are crazy. Bring back the good shows and take all of this reality **** off of the air.

Cane and The Unit, please. Please bring them back. Brothers and Sisters too.
These are my favorite shows and I have hundreds of friends who agree. I have missed Cane and the Unit so badly that I stayed up ladt nite to watch an episode of The Unit that I have watched so many times I know the script. My entire family, children, brothers, sisters, neighbors, co-woirkers, it’s insane. People love these shows. Please bring us a full season of great new episodes in the fall. Thank you.

Will the class be back for a new season now that the writters strike is over? The class was by far the best comedy i’ve seen in years, bring it back
Editor: Sorry, no. The show was cancelled in May 2007.

What is going on with all CSI, Ghost Whisper and the Womans club. I’m a big fan of all the mention shows, but I have not see any new episodes.
Editor: They haven’t been cancelled but, because the writers are on strike, show production has shut down. Hopefully the strike will be resolved soon so that new episodes can be made.
146. Sami said,
So is moonlight cancelled or not? someone please tell meee!!!!!
OH AND BY THE WAY MOONLIGHT ROCKS AND ANYONE WHO THINKS NOT IS A SERIOUS DUMBY
Editor: No, it’s not cancelled. CBS has just run out of new episodes because of the writers strike.
145. Mary said,
I am really praying that CANE will return. Cane was the best show I have seen in awhile. Please bring it back!!!
My coworkers and I would watch and talk about it the next day. The whole cast were wonderful.
144. Karen said,
How could you just cancel CLOSE TO HOME???? THAT’S A BAD OPTION! THat was one of my favourite shows. My mom and I enjoyed that show a lot! Somehow, sometimes I learn from that show…don’t know why.. It’s better to delete Survivor, Two and a half man. Those shows sucks!
143. Laura said,
I agree with most… The Class was one of the best shows I have watched. I was crushed when it did not return. I personally can NOT get into the Big Bang Theory or Rules of Engagement. Bring back The Class. Plus I have become a BIG FAN of Cane and now worried it will be another goner. With all these stupid reality shows taking over why even watch tv.

ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS PUT ON IN YEARS !! IN A SOCIETY WHERE MURDER IS STARTING TO BE AN EVERY DAY THING, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO KEEP SHOWS ON THAT ARE TEACHING PEOPLE HOW NOT TO GET CAUGHT AND GLORIFY CRIME !! “JERICHO” WAS A SHOW THAT WE AS A COUPLE, WOULD SIT DOWN EVERY WEDNESDAY AND WATCH. WE HAD HARDLY EVER WATCHED TV TOGETHER UNTIL “JERICHO” CAME ON. MAYBE IF IT WAS NAMED “CSI-JERICHO” IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN CANCELED !! NOW “CANE” IS ON CBS AND A MURDERER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER … IMAGINE THAT !! ANOTHER MURDER SHOW !! WRONG MOVE CBS !! BRING BACK “JERICHO” !! ASAP CBS !!
