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.

ya know people it’s all about commercials, they pay the bills. The networks love being on top of a show is dragging them down out the door it goes. They do not care about the minority of people who love it. So sad.
CBS Should not have cancelled Scorpion anytime you get interested in a TV series they go and cancel it! There’s no sense in watching a TV series anymore!!!
What no they cant finish it like that we need to wrap it up
