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.

Come on CBS how stupid are you? Do you not care what your fans think? You cancelled Miami Medical and Three Rivers? Give me a brek. Did you not remember how long ER lasted on NBC?
I can’t believe they’re cancelling Ghost Whisperer and Numbers. Along with Medium, they made my Friday night TV perfect. You have the best shows, but you’re cancelling a lot of my favorites. Personally, I thing reality shows suck. There’s nothing real about them.
Criminal. Minds, the best show ever is dumping CJ Cook? CBS has a great show and rather than embracing it’s following you sabotage greatness. JJ and Emily are the best. Fix your budget problems and keep the winner show!
you cancel ghost whisper but keep medium.. wake up and ask your veiwers what they want.
wow. lost the reality shows they suck.
PLEASE, PLEASE ABC, PICKUP COLD CASE FOR 8TH SEASON, CBS CANCELED IT EVEN WHEN WAS IN THE TOP 20, SEASON FINAL #17 th
THANKS

I liked Ghost Whisperer until the dead husband thing, Cold Case needs picked up by another network, Bring back William Petersen to CSI, Havent watched it since he left
Once again CBS shows it’s stupidity by taking a great show off the air. No wonder I hardly ever watch anything on there. Ghost Whisperer was one of the best shows on tv. David Conrad is one of the best actors I have seen in a long time. It is a shame CBS doesn’t appreciate the talents they have.
I don’t like the fact that they have cancelled Numb3rs, but I liked the fact they kept Medium. It’s about time they got rid of Ghost Whisperer. That was just a copycat from Medium. Isn’t Three Rivers that medical show with Moonlight’s Alex O’Laughlin?
I hope other networks picks up these shows…Mercy, Cold Case, Miami Medical, Three Rivers, Trauma… I won’t be watching CBS or NBC anymore… they have taken all my shows off the air…Good bye…CBS & NBC
Man You’re cancelling Three Rivers too….. you people are stupid!!!!!!
I can’t believe they’re canceling Miami Medical! It’s my absolute favorite new show. Ugh. Get rid of Medium. I’m pretty stoked about this Criminal Minds spinoff mentioned though…
Miami Medical is a good show. So is Medium. I can see why they cancelled Ghost Whisperer. It was really running out of any kind of new material. And the little boy was sort of obnoxious.
What?! CBS is cancelling “Miami Medical” and keeping “Medium?” Really? I’ve seen about as many episodes of each, and I can easily say that “Miami Medical” is far more pleasing. I suppose that the folks in charge of CBS’ shows disagree, though I hope that they change their minds.
i wish they cancil all the csi. it is old boring and so fake just ask real csi workers.it is time it be gone at least the first one
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAD that they cancelled Accidently on Purpose. I LOVED that show. I laughed the entire episodes. It makes me want to stop watching CBS all together
YEAH THAT WAS A VERY GOOD SHOW ~~ ALONG WITH THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE AND GARY UNMARRIED~!!
