Telly’s Take
Scorpion premiered with much lower ratings than last year and they’ve dropped pretty low since then. Not a good sign. I’m thinking that it will either be cancelled or renewed for a final year. I will update this page as the picture grows more clear. Subscribe for free updates on any Scorpion cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Should the Scorpion TV show have been cancelled? Would you have watched season five?
My husband and i started watching this show. While my husband was in the hospital with a real bad injury my husband has always been our familys go to person from reversing polarity on a furnace motor, to stopping a flood, to building a robot. For everyone who has a high iq we hope the show has a season 5 and more
Please don’t cancel this show-it portrays intelligence as a great thing in a very innovative way. Kids need more of this and less “ shoot um ups”! Very creative way to show kids it’s cool to be smart! Put it back at family time, 8 or 9 PM.
Please don’t cancel this show. I love it and look forward to watching every Monday!!!
Please renew scorpion!! Scorpion is one of my favorite shows on tv.
I think “Scorpion” will be cancelled. My main reason for thinking that is that the fourth season will end April 16. When a series ends a particular season early, that usually means it will not be back. If you disagree all I have to say is “Pan Am”, “CSI: Cyber”, “Numb3rs”. I would not mind being wrong because I do enjoy the series still, but it would not surprise me if CBS canceled “Scorpion”
Definitely, Scorpion should be renewed
Please don’t cancel Scorpion! It is a great show, family friendly, great to inspire kids, my youngest wants to be like Sly. All of the actors are awesome and they all have a great kindle to them, it is truly funny and just a wonderful show. There aren’t many great TV shows like this and NCIS anymore, so please renew for season 5!
I so love this show that demonstrates that “smarts” are a good thing. PLEASE renew this program!!!!
Please don’t cancel Scorpion, I would love it moved to 9pm
Best program since Mission Impossible
Please renew Scorpion for season 5. I love the show and ask that it continue with all the great and fun episodes.
