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?
Yes It should of been renewed
I loved this show as well….got quite a surprise binge watching season 6….And the show suddenly ended. For those unaware, last season is basically a half season. They jammed a quick ending together…very rushed. However they ended it with the ability to reboot. Perhaps we should’ve spoke up sooner and we could’ve gotten Subway to carry the show like they did “Chuck”. Just hope the cast members find new projects that just as great.
I agree with Jackie & David. I also watch Elementary but often have a hard time hearing Sherlock’s dislogue as it seems he mumbles and talks into his chest. Of the two, Person of Interest gets my vote. Too bad the network didn’t own it.
Always enjoyed. Always taped it but missed some episodes and am hoping to see on Netflix or somewhere else. Really enjoyed show and content; actors were great. I don’t think it should have been cancelled; plus if what ‘Michael’ said about no ‘finality’, why would it be cancelled. It should have an ‘ending’ if being cancelled.
I had not heard that Person of Interest had been cancelled. They left us in a lurch and finality. Hopefully, someone will pick it up on cable; Netflix; Hulu or Amazon for new episodes.
Deeply saddened; was one we always taped and looked forward to viewing!
RATS!
I loved this show. I hate that it was cancelled.
I liked the show Person of Interest, why cx it.
Why would you cancell the best show on any station you have sad mistake bring it back I hate when yall get people interested in a very great series and than take it off. I am gone have to stop watching TV again put it back on the air waiting for season 6
I think there’s more than money on the reasons to shutdown POI TV series.
POI was on of my top 2 or 3 shows, I thought there was more to tell in the story. Too bad, probably too late to have Warner Brother shop it elsewhere, but I’d watch it again.
POI is a favorite of mine. Sure wish it had.not been cancelled, Bring it back!,
Awesome show . Actually better than just calling it a show. It was a window into our future that as gripping yet impossible not to watch. No matter how scary the implications were. To be honest, there probably is already a machine. And we have it to blame. We have us to BLAME.
Always watched POI because it’s an intelligent, interesting programme. I do not watch Elementary as I didn’t buy into the premise in general. I think the network made the wrong decision.
We want POI back. Great show it was.
Always watched person of intrest really good programme. Shaw still alive have to rebuild machine loads of protentual. Why not renew? It’s miles better than Elemenyry
