Of all of the networks, CBS has the most viewers. Unfortunately, their shows also tend to skew older. CBS tends to be the most tight-lipped of the networks so early news of renewals and cancellations doesn’t happen as often.
Here’s a listing of CBS TV shows with their current status. This list encompasses shows that have aired from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010.
We’ll keep updating the list throughout the May upfronts when decisions are made about most of the shows’ fates. Keep checking back, especially if your favorite is still on the fence.

Please give Golden Boy another season it is a very good show. How does the Mentalist
keep getting renewed and a show like Golden Boy get kicked off?
CSI New York to good to let go, who makes these judgments? Not people sitting at home
viewing network tv.
BRING BACK NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE…… IT A FREAKING AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS FUNNY, I LOVE ALL THE ACTORS AND ACTRESS THAT ARE IN IT, YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS A REALLY GREAT SHOW THAT IS MESSED UP BUT CRAZY FUNNY AND YOU WANT TO GET RID OF IT, WHATEVER YOU ARE SMOKING YOU NEED TO STOP AND STARTED WRITTING SEASON 6, GIVE THE PEOPLE WANT THEY WANT!!!!!!
Looks like the last of the great networks is starting it’s downward spiral! So glad I chose NOT to replace my big screen and kicked Time Warner and thier hiked rates to the curb. CBS your following NBC and ABC decents, I really hope you understand it is the older people who have the money and buy stuff not the younger generation. For me I could careless, but you still have millions of faithful viewers who you keep kicking in their teeth with these stupid reality shows!
[…] you can’t find a particular CBS program on this list, it may have been cancelled last season (2009-10) or perhaps the one before (2008-09). For a list of cancelled shows from all networks, you can go […]
I would like to see the defenders continued and switched back to its time slot of 9 to 10 PM central
time.
bring back cold case best show ever all chareactors work well togeather .you all have made me whatch alot of other stati0ns because of this kind of stuff maybe you should put a stupid fake reality show on so i won’t watchyour chanel at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! quit picking our shows at least give it a chance anounce it on the computer if you do wise up since i don’t watch your channel anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE BRING NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE BACK!!!!!!! I FREAKING LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!!!! I recently started watching the reruns on FOX after I got off work at like 2 am. It makes me literally laugh out loud every time. I liked the show so much I download the complete series on my ipod and introduced it to my girlfriend and she loves it too. Today we finished season five which leaves us fans with a complete cliffhanger!!! All the good series end that way which is a major bummer.
Why didn’t you idiots give it a chance was just getting interested when it was gone. Seems pretty dumb to me to cancel soemthing before even gets a chance for people to discover it. This was a very good show.
WILL MISS MEDIM LOVED THAT SHOW.
WHERES HARRY SMITH?
Sure miss the real down to earth “The Unit ” show. Is it picked up by other channels or just old shows being run.
Also have you noticed that many commercals and regular programs do not have the sound incink with the mouths of those speaking. Realy screws up the pictures. \
When will someone come up with sound on commercals and programs with the same sound decmels? Most of the time I must put commercals on mute verses being blasted out of the house.
The new adventures of old christine were superb. I loved it. I even recorded it so I wouldn’t miss it. Acting was superm.
cannot believe you cancelled medium, ghost whisper and several other good shows. you must have your heads up your butts to make such bad decisions!!!!!
Please bring back ghost whisper, it is a family show and right now there is not enough of that of tv, we’er done watching stupid shows that we cant watch as a family. please pick up ghost whisperer, if cbs cant then abc or nbc somebody
Im sad to see Miami Medical leaving I loved that show!!!!
I will miss Cold Case, Miami Medical, Numbers and Ghost
Whisperer. The silly sitcoms do not interest me in the least. The
ones that were cancelled had great writers and actors. I guess that
cheap, stupid reality shows or so-so sitcoms meet corporates
standards. What a shame that the taste of those who make decisions
seems to sink lower and lower every year.
