Even though, during the last couple of seasons, the Scorpion TV show has dropped off significantly in the ratings, CBS has opted not to cancel it. The fourth season — which kicks off with a musical episode — will provide this action drama with a decent sized syndication package. Could it spell the end? Will Scorpion cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
Inspired by the life of a real computer expert, Scorpion stars Elyes Gabel, Katharine McPhee, Eddie Kay Thomas, Jadyn Wong, Ari Stidham, Robert Patrick, Riley B. Smith, Andy Buckley, Jamie McShane, Joshua Leonard, Dan Dratch, and Scott Porter.
On the CBS series, Walter O’Brien (Gabel) and his team of brilliant misfits are the country’s last line of defense against lurking high-tech threats. As Team Scorpion, these members of Homeland Security’s think tank solve the nation’s crises, even as they help one other on their quest to fit in. At the start of season four, they find themselves working with their nemesis, Mark Collins (Leonard), to prevent the extinction of the human race. Meanwhile, Walter and Paige (McPhee) feel awkward as they try to navigate their new relationship.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The third season of Scorpion averaged a 1.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.23 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like Scorpion TV series? Should CBS cancel or renew it for a fifth season?

Please keep this show on CBS!!! It is one of the few shows where people aren’t getting beat up, kidnapped or killed every episode. Are some episode “out there” and unbelievable? Sure! But the episodes are always fun!!!
Scorpion should be renewed, the entertainment alone is excellent, and with an amazing cast that immediately has fans emotionally invested in their team and individual story lines. A show that not only has all the elements, action, drama, romance & comedy, but writing that makes all of these work together so perfectly. Its one of the best shows on TV and I hope to see it for many more seasons.
“Scorpion” is okay it was a great shownthe first 2 seasons and sly needs to change he is supposed to be a genius but is scared of such stuff (germs)
Great show !!! please do not cancel; need to show its ok to be smart !!!
Scorpion is great for showing how people who are different should be accepted and treated as a person – and how we can all help understand eachother, to get along and be better people.
season 1 & 2 were great then it started going down ever since, i dislike how now not only do the still solve a way to stop the problem but now they are always causing another issue to the problem and sly doing all this b.s is ridiculous their all geniuses he woulnt be doing stupid crap it may be a show but at least show him as a genius not a nerd

LOVE the show. Keep it for season 5!
Please renewed scorpion more season to come beg you.
Please do not cancel
Please do not cancel.Waiting for season 5
Season 5 would be awesome! I love this serie!! ♥ Walter♥Paige ♥
I don’t imagine it effects the live viewing stats, but there are a fair number of people who also utilize libraries’ collections. Particularly in efforts to catch up so they can watch with the new releases. As one myself, this is an amazing show and it’s awfully fun to watch and figure out the unlikely twists. Although some of the moments do seem to straddle the line between fiction and reality, many of the props and solutions (certainly not all of them though) are plausible or real inventions/pieces from history.
Please renew for a 5th season, the very best show on tv, but Flo has to go!!!
Glad to see that the ratings for the last episode on 1/15 have bounced back up! Please do not cancel “Scorpion!” I own every available season and love the cast and stories!
Leave Waige’s relationship alone too. No offense to Tina Majorino but Florence Tipton is simply just another wrench in their relationship that needs to go. I dislike her character as much as Scott Porter’s former character of Tim Armstrong!
Dont cancel i want season 5 great show one of he best i ever seen
