It always comes down to money. CBS boss Les Moonves recently explained why the network cancelled Person of Interest and renewed Elementary, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
The fifth and final series of Person of Interest premiered earlier this month. Meanwhile, CBS renewed Elementary for a fifth season back in March.
At a recent New York conference, Moonves said part of the reason for Person of Interest‘s cancellation was financial. Warner Bros. was the producing studio for the drama, and CBS didn’t make a profit “because Warner Bros got all that additional revenue.”
On the other hand, CBS owns Elementary and made a “profit of $80 million last year,” according to Moonves.
What do you think? Did you watch Person of Interest? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
no longer watch large network television. Too many good shows like Person of Interest are sacrificed even though they have a great following.
POI was the best show on TV – Period. I found it on Netflix and I couldn’t stop watching it. Creative, Unpredictable, Funny. PLEASE bring it back! We need a petition!!
We are crushed that the show is ending. We discovered it in 2018 on Netflix and have binge-watched it to the end. Please bring it back. It was creative, funny at times, suspenseful, s0 good.
Please someone bring it back. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever watched!
Person of Interest was awesome and creative. Surely someone can make money with continuing it!
Makes me sick, our favorite show by far!!!!
Makes me sick, loved the show, our favorite!!!!
I loved Person of Interest and Elementary both.
Heads and shoulders above competing shows in their time slots. Never mind having an intrigue and intellectual aspect to both the shows.
am so heart broken to know they dint renewed “person of interest” series. it was one of the best series i ever watched with interest all the time. the cast was wonderful the story line was perfectly perfect.. overall it was the best.. pls bring back the series.
A thoughtful and thought provoking series about st constitutes a realized lfe, what it means to be fully human and the difference between Liberty (external) and freedom (internal). Reminds us that we have lost ourselves because of our utter self centerdness. I am heartbroken this series was cancelled. But unlike the show and it’s message, the bottom line for the station was money.
I love the show, one of the best shows i watched, bring it back !!
