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.

I avoid reality TV, I live in reality and watch TV to escape into a good drama or comedy. My sugestion is get rid of some of the reality TV and bring back Ghost Whisperer and Numbers, leave the Friday night line up alone. Although I am pleased that all the CSI’s, The Mentalist, and Criminal Minds are staying on.
that was best medical drama show since ER , why do networks always cancel the good shows and will probably be replaced with some new reality show in which my opinion we have more than a of pretty soon . That’s all TV will reality
You have to be kidding me I am getting so annoyed every time a new show comes out it gets canceled and replaced with something like this stupid reality show I mean honestly. Nowadays I don’t see the point having a dvr because it seems you have to clear out after one season or less
Seriously?? Wow!! Can’t believe soooo many great shows are being cancelled! So tired of these networks ruining these shows!! Accidentally on Purpose was a great new sitcom finally to add to Monday’s lineup. New adventures of Christine was one of the funniest sitcoms also in awhile and cancelled after 5 yrs?? Really?? Julia played a great character. And Miami Medical is one of the best hospital type shows since ER ended! It was a great replacement compared to the other new hospital shows that have come out. This one kept me and also made me look forward to next season… Read more »
CBS you should be ashamed, cancelling a bright and funny show with a great cast of characters! We loved the New Adventures of Old Christine and hope another network picks them up before they start taking new jobs in different venues. We have been offered nothing but horrible reality shows for the past several years and at last we had a couple of nights we could watch great comedy again. Boo CBS!!!!!
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTED … ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER AND GARY UNMARRIED WAS GREAT TOO …. THEY ALWAYS TAKE OFF GOOD SHOWS AND PUT BAD ONES IN THEIR PLACE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY ???????????? LISTEN WHEN PEOPLE GET UPSET OVER A SHOW BEING CANCELLED AND DONT CANCEL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see New Adventure of Old Christine cancelled. As an “old Christine” myself, I was embarrassed by her character.
A trash talking show like Two and a Half Men and boring shows like Survivor and Undercover Boss stay while Numb3rs and Ghost Whisperer get cancelled. I hope they are picked up by another network and you can bet, I’ll change the channel.
come on, The Amazing race and Big Brother what a waste of two hours and you want to let shows like Cold case Ghost Whispers and Numbers get away, i hope another network picks them up, CBS making a very big mistake.
survivor and amazing race are a total waste of tv time.
Although I sympathize with Melissa’s feelings; the medical practicioners need praise the medical gods for relieving this show from life support. Beautiful cast ensemble for the obvious eye candy of caucasian up and coming young ones, but totally devoid of any viewing value other than a low rated soap on CBS network’s rather mundane Friday night schedule which this season is on life support on a whole. What a relief to see next seasons new schedule, it is needed. Anything to be learned fromthis show? Me thinks not other than learn to display genuine realizm in the medical field and… Read more »
Please cancel the following shows: How I Met Your Mother, Survivor, Amazing Race, Two and Half Men. I do not watch these shows and have never enjoyed them. CSI Miami would be much better without Horatio who is a posturing of a hero is ridiculous and unbelievable.
I am looking forward to the return of Hawaii 50 and hope you can do the old one justice when you update it. Also, it is good to have Tom Selleck back in a regular series.
so what if you dont like certain shows other people do! IF THEY TAKE OFF SOMETHING YOU LIKE THEN YOU CAN COMPLAIN … IF YOU DONT LIKE SOMETHING THEY ARE KEEPING DONT WATCH IT !!!!! How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men are hilarious… You just dont get the humor … and Horatio Caine does say some stupid stuff but HE IS the show AND as a whole is still very good~!
Please don’t cancel Miami Medical, it’s a great show and we love it!
They are losing a gem in the cancellation of New Adventures of Old Christine, hopefully another network will find the value in renewing it, “hint, hint” NBC. The old House of Hits could begin to restore their lost luster in this one, at least. It’s my opinion, but I am a viewer that generally knows what will endure.
Miami medical never had a chance i really enjoyed it since ER finished.Why cold case there really is not much on sunday nights i do not like reality shows. Three rivers never had a chance either.
New Adv. of Old Christine was a riot. I had it set to dvd just in case I was not home when it aired. Bring it BACK!!!!
