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.
CBS I may not be American, and you may cancel anything else but P.O.I
This show is a hit.I wish it would go on showing forver too.I have watched and rewatched it.I just hope the go up by next year and that it may continue to run.I love POI..
I’ve watched the show from the beginning and hope that it is renewed beyond the fifth season. With the news of cyberattacks by foreign countries and domestic surveillance by our own government, the show’s premise is very relevant. Also it’s good to see the bad guys get their lumps now and then…I’d love to see Greer & Company get stuffed.
I have enjoyed this show, I hope We can watch it again for many years
I have watched “Person of Interest” from the beginning. It is my favorite show on CBS. If they cancell that show, they are crazy. Those of us who like the show appreciate the fact that the show is true, in a lot of aspects. I mean, look at all the cities world wide with cameras all over the place, monitoring people ever move. Also, the internet allows the governments to know too many things about a person. A cell phone can track a person’s whereabouts. Besides John Reese is easy on the eyes. I like the rest of the cast,… Read more »

I began watching Person of interest at the end of season 4 and knew that this must be a hit tv show. ‘Person of Interest’ fulfills a craving within everyone who feels unappreciated by the world around them to see a secret fulfillment of a sense of justice that we all need satisfied in order to know that life really is good no matter how difficult our personal delimmas might appear to ourselves.
