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?
PLEASE CBS and Warner Bros BRING BACK PERSON OF INTEREST… IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST TV SHOWS ON TV!!!!

POI was most intelligent show in recent history. Wow. Ridiculous that it got canceled.
Person of Interest was well written and had a great cast. Sad to see it go…bring it back!
Should have been renewed as we loved the show.
POI is a great show much better than Elementary…I do not watch it.
Bring POI back
POI is a great show. I want to see Finch reunite with his wife. So much left unsaid. Someone pick it up. One of the best shows ever.
POI SHOULD BE CONTINUED! Love the characters!
POI MISS IT!! ESPECIALLY SHAW!
There should be another season.
There should be a 6th season of Person of interest
Poor choice to cancel Person of Interest and keep Elementary. I tried to like Elementary but it was just not logical enough. The characters and the chemistry between the actors on the show was rare to say the least. The show will be missed.
I agree !! Person of interest is a much better show. I stopped watching Elementary but continued POI and will miss it and the actors!!. .
I’m really sad to see that the show was cancelled. It was actually a very well done series. I work in the industry and there isn’t a lot of quality offerings out there. All of the characters were quite good. Sad to see them go.
