The ratings have come down quite a bit (again) this year but CBS has decided to keep Person of Interest around for a fifth season.
On Person of Interest, a presumed dead former-CIA agent (Jim Caviezel) and a mysterious billionaire (Michael Emerson) work together to prevent violent crimes in New York City. The rest of the cast includes Kevin Chapman, Sarah Shahi, and Amy Acker.
Airing on Tuesday nights at 10pm, the fourth season of the series has averaged a 1.53 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.42 million viewers. Compared to the third season, that’s down by 22% in the demo and down by 20% in viewership.
It’s in the middle of the pack of CBS’ current crop of scripted series and its fate could have gone either way. A fifth season will put Person of Interest over the 100 episode mark, making for a solid-sized syndication package, which may have played a role in the renewal.
What do you think? Do you like the Person of Interest series? Do you think season five should be the end?
Update: It looks like season five may be the end for Person of Interest on CBS.
Love this show, ratings are low because of moving to anothdr time and channel. I searched for days before I could find seasons 3 & 4. I missed season 4 and found it via web searcg and finally got to see episode 1. PLEASE DON NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. 6 tv are on when My family view this show faithfully.
If it is coming back, what is the date that it will be back. Its January, 2016 already and I cannot find out anything about the show?
LOVE THIS SHOW. CBS DON’T CANCEL IT!
This is one of the few series that both my partner and I enjoy together. Most of the time we cannot figure out what is next which says Volumes for the writers. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK and Please DO NOT REMOVE THIS SERIES, the actors and the plots are great.
In the top 5 of my favorite TV shows. Perfect blend of drama and humor. Looking forward to seeing Shaw back. 13 more episodes isn’t enough!
Please leave person of interest on the characters and actors are among the strongest on tv.
I want my POI back, Amy Acker and her Face, goddamit!
My favorite series ever! What a shame if more shows aren’t added or Season 5 is the last one. Such a fine cast, thoughtful plots and special effects go into each episode. The music that goes along with each show is fantastic too!!! There are also those humorous moments that are just priceless…
This is the most original series to be crafted IMHO, just hope it can keep going.
POI is my favorite show. I think that cbs messed it up by moving it to Tuesday at 10. it used to be on Thursday at 9. now there is nothing worth watching on Thursday. they keep moving good shows to 10 and people that work can’t watch them.
I sure hope you decide to keep this show on the air. It seems like all the shows are like between 18 – 49 yr. olds but what about senior citizens? Do we not count for any television shows. Please keep it on, please
Love the show especially with Root and Sameen !!! When will the fifth season begin?
My husband and I LOVE person of interest. We’re in our 70’s. Pls keep it. We can’t relate to most of the the programs offered like MOM, Supergirl, Limitless….even the Sherlock program loses me.
Like story line and a fine cast. Hope Shaw comes back. This is one of better shows on TV
leave person of interest on it’s the only show worth watching thank you
KEEP THE ON THE AIR LOVE PERSON OF INTEREST!!!!!
