The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Renew! I agree with Jane T – lose the reality shows and KEEP Person of Interest! It has a unique angle on crime that no other show has. Please let us keep something great to watch besides mindless TV!

Renew Person of Interest. Great writing, interesting characters. So far above the reality shows, dance contests and singing contests that infest TV airwaves.
