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?
Should get a season 5 at least to get a final episode. With the way the 4th season ended with the other guys starting a new company and stealing Walters jobs.
Shouldn’t have been cancelled, especially the way it ended. Sign the petition as we want more. https://www.change.org/p/to-renew-scorpion #SaveScorpion

We want season 5 for Scorpion. Please dont cancel good shows and keep the dumb ones on air.
You cancel a great show and leave big brother on! Are you kidding me!
CBS why would you cancel a great show & why did you feel the need to cause
Problems with Walter & Paige. If anything you should fire the writers. You had such a good group of actors & the chemistry between them were good.
Bring the show back & get rid of Florence you don’t need her. You can writes great stuff with the original cast like you did the first few seasons. The way you ended it was awful you should be as disappointed as the fans
are.
they would rather keep people acting like fools on big brother than keep a show like Scorpion on. It was different, not the same lawyer, dr bullcrap.. CBS your dumb. I hope it comes back.. Scorpion was the best show.
I am soooooooo upset in regards to Scorpion being cancelled. Please Please bring it back for one more season and have an ending that I can be satisfied with! I am heartbroken
I looked forward to scorpion every week it is by far my favorite t.v. show please renew it
I hate they are canceling it. I love that show.
as predicted scorpion was cancelled. blame it on the writers they took a good show and ruined it. and the ending 2 teams how moronic. with 2 of the characters constantly whining Sylvester and the shrink what did you expect. people hear enough whining during the day they don’t want to watch it on tv at night. I started muting when those 2 characters talked which during the later shows I probably listened to less than half the shows till I eventually just quit watching. WTG WRITERS hope you don’t get hired on to do any more shows. your creativity… Read more »
Bring Back Scorpion! When they put it on Monday nite at 10 was a big mistake. It was doing very well when it was on at 9. Also the writers should have kept the stories like the first season. The romance thing ruined it.
Please please please please make a scorpion season five what the number are showing if it’s not going to stop you please its can work is you’ll be happy please please please
Please, please, please don’t cancel Scorpion. It’s by far my favorite show on TV. My husband and I never miss it. Give it another chance. At least wrap up the series instead of leaving us hanging.
CBS has to reconsider. Look at Timeless. NBC cancelled it after one season. The fans begged NBC to give it another chance and it worked. NBC renewed Timeless for a second season. Now, let’s try our best to beg CBS to give Scorpion another chance and let’s hope it’ll work.
P.S. Interesting petitions, Dave.
Thanks, Barry.
