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.
Please don’t cancel POI. Love the show. Enjoy the actors. If CBS would stop putting the good shows on Sunday night they would have better ratings….and also consider those of us over 40. We watch more TV then they do and we like clean decent shows! Keep it on please!
I read that J.J. Abrams said it was probably going to be canceled but that the final 13 episodes are coming this Spring. Supposed to be a great season but unfortunately the last.
Please keep person of interest on television. It is one of the best shows on TV and the best show on CBS. The acting and writing is superb. Jim caviezel is more than just a pretty face. He is really talented. Person of interest is the only show I watch on CBS. It is the only show worth watching on CBS because it is so unique!
I agree with you Sheila, it’s the best series ever. The cast is very talented and the characters are a joy to watch in their interactions and banter. When will the series resume ? CBS is sure building the suspense for POI’s return.
This is the best show on TV. Too bad CBS scheduled other events in its place so it couldn’t get stable traction. If CBS supported this show, I believe it would be top ten.
This show has great writing and some of the best actors anywhere. Please do not cancel. It has a very loyal following!
Love the show. Please keep it going
Please continue with show, so many storylines can be told to boost ratings again.
Great show!! Love to see it continue.
Great show, hope it comes back for a 6th season
The series started slow (Season 1) but mid Season 2 I was hooked. Please keep this show alive!
Love it miss it very much.
Love the program and actors. Please bring it back.
I love it just love it can not wait for it to come back on so when is it?
Yes I LOVE Shaw!!! She and I are a lot alike. . . tired of apologizing for the lack of emotion. Her comments are HILARIOUS!
Bring Shaw back please.
