Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

What do you think? Do you still like the Person of Interest TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?

The series called ” Person of Interest” is excellent. You could work in the actress called Paige Turco , she adds to the show! She is easy to look at and plays a part which shows her to be super sharp. Every show has been excellent thus far! Do NOT think of cancelling this show! I watch it religously!

One of the actual tv show I enjoying watching. Better than any of those over rated reality shows. I don’t give them the time of day. Great cast, plots and intrigue.
Keep it up CBS.

Having watched a couple more weeks of this, I’m starting to get leery of the conspiracy under-current arc being developed. Enough conspiracies already; get back to what made the show good. The unknown person element.

This show has a huge – and growing – following approaching 15 million viewers weekly. They are closing in on #1 NCIS stats! The week of 09/27, POI came in #8 of Nielsen’s top 25 most viewed shows. While its 18-49 demo is on the low side (Nielsen), CBS cannot ignore the growing fan base – and POI’s fans are dedicated beyond belief! Were CBS to pull the plug on POI right now, you can best believe there WILL be (much) more than the TV show, Revolution! Pretty sure CBS knows they have a (huge) hit on their hands.

I was already tiring of Mr Finch’s abduction so am glad that is wrapped up. Let’s get back to what made this show good. The dog was a good cast addition.

Best show on network TV for sure. It’s probably my favorite currently running show, but I’m not going to say it’s the best on ALL of TV (cable). It’s still a network procedural after all.
