Scorpion: A Look at the Ratings

UPDATE: CBS has cancelled Kevin Can Wait and has renewed Elementary for season seven.
Deadline has confirmed the Scorpion cancellation.
What do you think? Did you think CBS would cancel or renew Scorpion for season five? Now that it’s over, did it end at the right time, or should the network have given it another season to wrap up? Sound off, in the comments.
CBS needs to continue with scorpion it was the best show ever and please continue it asap.
Cbs this show is a wonder and tells the story of true problems and hardships of different type and intellegence people in all honesty i dont understand how it dropped in veiwers due to the great script and drama filled episodes the story could go on for many more seasons and honestly show things could play out i have prolly watched the 4 seasons 10 times over and over just cause i enjoy them
Just watched all four seasons…I wish there was a season five…and six…and seven.
Please continue the tv show with season five…or end it correctly…
I LOVE SCORPION! I’M COMMENTING THIS IN 2024 AND I DESPERATELY NEED SEASON 5! SO PLS CONTINUE, THIS ENDED IN A CLIFFHANGER!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE ❤️
please CBS tv show the season 5th the needed because this series is the most loving tv show of all i watch this the one like so please renewed scorpion please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m hoping that commenting here will add even a .01% chance that this show gets a reboot. Love the show, it ended on a cliff hanger, need a season 5 desperately
I just finished streaming the Scorpion series. I loved it, and loved it when it was running during its seasons. The network should have had a 5th season to complete the story.
I watched American Odyssey a few years ago that had the same thing happen, got canceled with no closure. It should be a requirement that networks have to complete a story so as not to leave fans hanging. Why do a series if you won’t have a proper ending? Makes me not want to watch new shows. You lose fans this way.
Most refreshing show in a long time. It got me back into watching CBS. I guess there’s not much reason to tune in now. It’s really sad that a show like this, that really speaks to people like me and that I can relate to, is cancelled. We may be a smaller demographic but we are loyal fans…of the show…not the station. Goodbye CBS.
