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?
My favorite show: Blue Bloods. More episodes, not less!!
I’ve watched NCIS & Blue Bloods from the begining. PLEASE don’t take them off the air they are like family to me. The best two shows on TV. There good family shows, there’s not much of that too watch now days.
NCIS and Blue Bloods we love watching wish you wouldn’t cut them also FBI
Goodbye! And thank you. I will be returning to the old pleasure of Reading Books!
Love Blue Bloods. Can’t wait for the return. Also I would like request the episode of Linda’s, Danny’s wife, exit. Believe it was the season ender in 2018. Did not see it. Could you repeat that episode. Please notify me of the date if you can repeat that episode. Thank you. Be safe. God bless.
Why is it the most popular shows are having their episodes cut.
My favorite is Blue Bloods dont cancel
Blue bloods without a doubt is the best thing television has seen in years!!DONT cut it!!
My husband and I have been disappointed for years with a shortened season. On top of that sometimes repeats during the season. Whats up with that? We remember seasons starting in September. After school started.
I hate that all the shows are being shorten. They are all that I love. I really don’t care for the reality shows except for survivor and amazing race so why don’t you do away with the others. That way you have longer seasons.
I don’t see the Kardashians being cut short and you could send every single one of them to Mars and no one would care.
I hope they don’t end these shows. We love watching all CBS shows.
I hope they can work it out to give us a good season. We only watch CBS for those shows. I hope it’s not the end of these great shows

I really think we need more shows that are positive nature. More where the good wins. There is too much unrest in this Country. People are really influenced by what they see on tv.
