CBS is making another move ahead of the return of several of its popular 2020-21 shows. The series is shortening the season of several of its shows, including NCIS: Los Angeles, The Neighborhood, Blue Bloods, Bull, Magnum P.I., NCIS, NCIS: New Orleans, and SEAL Team.
NCIS: Los Angeles and The Neighborhood will each air 18 episodes, and the rest have had their episode counts lowered to 16 episodes, per Deadline.
CBS is still in talks with outside studios about the number of installments for Mom, Young Sheldon, Bob Hearts Abishola, B Positive, All Rise, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, and SWAT. The Unicorn had an initial 13-episode order and will stay at that number.
The pandemic shut down and shortened seasons last spring, so it is not a complete surprise that the same has happened this season, especially with delayed returns for CBS and the other networks.
What do you think? Are you surprised that CBS has shortened the seasons of NCIS, Blue Bloods, and more of its popular shows for the 2020-21 season?
NOT a Smart decision…..NOT a happy fan!
I am glad that all of my favorite shows will be back on soon!!
CONTINUE ALL NCIS (GIBBS, LA, NEW ORLESANS,MIAMI) TO CONTINUE) PLEASE! THESE ARE THE ONLY WORTHWHILE CONTENT & STARS
I’m just glad blue bloods is coming back I wish the season was longer this year but I would rather have a shortened season then no show at all
DO Not take off Magnum PI love the show all the actors are GREAT…
Why are episodes shortened we love these shows please don’t shorten them
As much as we LOVE Blue Bloods, NCIS and Bull and want to see the new fall shows, good for management to try and find a happy medium. There should be ways to start filming with precaution. No reason why everybody can’t wear masks on screen as well as off. It would actually be great examples of being careful and moving on and living our lives.
Great!So we will be stuck in the house in the winter and COVID with a shortened entertainment season….please reconsider.
Leave the shows as are. Do not cut any episodes. Thank you
Hate that Blue Bloods has been shortened! Best show onTV with an loyal audience. Shorten the ones no one cares about.
U love all of these shows they are the best
Blue Bloods is quality! It’s a shame they are cutting/shortening the season.
We LOVE ❤️ Blue Bloods is the BEST SHOW EVER!! Better to be safe ! We just wanna see season 11 we will take however many shows you can do safely -Can u bring Jackie Back please??!
