CBS 2024-2025 Ratings: Canceled ‘FBI: International,’ ‘Most Wanted,’ ‘Blue Bloods’ Among Most-Watched Shows
Nelly Kiss/CBS; Mark Schafer/CBS; CBS

CBS is once again the most-watched network, for the 2024-2025 season.

CBS will hit a record 17th consecutive season as the most-watched network with the top seven primetime shows. The network also held broadcast television’s longest winning streak on record, from 1955 through 1970. This will also be CBS’ 22nd win in the last 23 years. In broadcast alone with Nielsen “Most Current” ratings, CBS’ primetime viewership (excluding sports) averages 4.99 million viewers, which is up +14% year over year.

The top seven shows are, with average viewers: Tracker (10.84 million), Matlock (9.53 million), 60 Minutes (8.45 million), FBI (8.11 million), Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage (7.98 million), Blue Bloods (7.90 million), and NCIS (7.86 million). Of note, Blue Bloods ended after 14 seasons this season.

CBS also has eight of the top 10 shows, with Elsbeth ninth (with 7.78 million average viewers), as well as 13 of the top 20 shows, adding in Ghosts (7.29 million), Watson (6.66 million), FBI: Most Wanted (6.49 million), FBI: International (6.49 million), and Fire Country (6.15 million). Those two FBI spinoffs have also been canceled and will be ending with Most Wanted‘s sixth and International‘s fourth seasons on May 20.

CBS also has four of the top five new shows with Matlock (#1), Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage (#2), Watson (#4), and NCIS: Origins (#5). High Potential on ABC, is third and 12th overall, with 7.24 million average viewers.

CBS has the top two comedies with Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage and Ghosts. Sixteen of the top 20 shows are dramas.

Other shows worth noting in that top 20 are the three One Chicago shows, with Fire eighth, Med 10th, and P.D. 13th, as well as ABC’s Will Trent (14th) and 9-1-1 (19th).

CBS reports that it is also on top for broadcast in late night and daytime shows. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is the #1 program in late night for the ninth consecutive season, and the network is #1 in daytime for the 39th consecutive season.

        Other people weren't watching them. The main FBI show dropped 6% in viewership and fell to #4 overall. The other two shows dropped 8% and 10%, and both are nearly out of the top 20 now. Another year on that trend and you'd have two massive money losers.

        We literally saw the highest number of new scripted shows, instead of "reality," in 5-6 years for the 2024-25 season and a bunch more are slated for next year. They're just killing off some of the stagnant ones where the stars are asking for constant pay raises despite ad revenue being way down over the last decade.

        Also, some of the canceled shows have been on the air for 10+ seasons and can't really have anything else happen.

          Commercial time costs 55% less than it did 10 years ago, so they literally have to air twice as many to get close to the same ad revenue.

    I enjoy watching Matlock, Elsbeth, Fire Country, FBI, and all the Chicago shows. What I don’t love is social issues being pushed down my throat. I just want to watch an enjoyable show without the politics, without saying what is right or wrong. I have stopped watching shows due to the push of an agenda. I loved Blue Bloods.

      I hate on Sun they let 60 minutes run over all the time. I dvr and I'm missing all my Sunday shows because of 60 minutes. I honestly believe if they would end the show when it's supposed they'd get the real rating score for that show. It's boring.

    I love all of the FBI and Chicago shows. I would replace FBI most wanted with NCIS Hawaii and get rid of Sydney as I can't understand them and the plots are not feasiblle. When you cancel shows that we have been invested in for many seasons. They become family. We don't like your cost saving replacements because they are not the same. Be smart bring the guy from International over to the new replacement. Give us characters we can relate to.

      I did liked FBI International & FBI Most Wanted, but they are losing my interest and not liking some of the characters. For me FBI Most Wanted is a sometimes a miss with the stories with Dylan. Not liking Jeese new role.

    Absolutely ridiculous. Pretty soon all they will have are game shows and reality shows, none of which I watch. Why they would cancel top 10 shows is beyond me.

    1. J

      Joe Greene

      The 2024-25 season saw the debut of more scripted shows, instead of reality and game shows, since 2018. The trend is literally going the other way as they've got a bunch more new shows lined up for next year.

    My biggest complaint about Commercial TV is just that: Commercials. The few programs I do watch on Commercial TV I wait until the next day to see it Commercial Free on a Streaming Site. I prefer watching programs, serials and movies, on Streaming but I hate those serials that are provided once a week. I would rather have the choice to watch one of two or more at once. With that type of programming I will often wait until all episodes are available. I have determined that most streaming programs avoid the procedural style and are typically better written than serials on Commercial TV.

    1. B

      BlueSailboat

      On the other hand, the writers, still write scenes that could conceivably pause for commercials. I tend to get up( sheer reflex) at these pauses and have to rewind the show.

  9. C

    Not surprised. I don't watch much network TV anymore, but pretty much everything I watch is on CBS with the exception of the Chicago shows and the Voice on NBC.

    I don't understand. Blue Bloods and FBI shows are in the top rank but they get cancelled so the network can waste its time on inferior programs. Look at what happened with Poppa's House. One and done. We could have gotten another season of Blue Bloods instead. Hope the spinoff does well and features guest appearance by other cast members.

    13 1

    1. J

      Joe Greene

      FBI isn't getting canceled. The two spinoffs, that pull in much lower ratings, are getting canceled.

      Blue Bloods is getting canceled because they've run for 14 seasons and there aren't any more stories to tell.

      2 1

      1. C

        And not enough $$$ for the already overpaid actors.

        1

        1. J

          Joe Greene

          Yep. The industry used to work on the concept that the actors would sign for multiple years, get raises each time, and gladly agree to a reasonable portion of the ad revenue the show was bringing in. Now a 30 second add spot pays 45% of what it did in 2014 and actors expect to renegotiate every year. Once the ratings start to drop, the shows are doomed.

    I don’t understand why they would get rid of good shows like FBI and keep shows Matlock, Elsbeth, can’t believe that cancel the FBI and they kill off all the main players on the popular shows like 911. I don’t understand. I’m just gonna stop watching.CBS

    I can't believe the networks are canceling shows, having writers kill of main characters and say that they don't have enough money for the shows to continue! They are making a haul on commercials! Maybe the big executives should take a pay cut and leave our beloved shows alone!

      They are not making much on commercials anymore. The cost to run TV commercials dropped 55% from 2014 to 2024. Networks literally make less than half what they did for a 30 second commercial just 10 years ago.

          I don't think you can link to anything here, but it's on a website (subscription) called Ad Age that literally does nothing but track ad revenue across different types of media. Their number is technically 57% drop now that 2024 is over, and was 55% coming into the year.

    3. C

      CyanScissors

      The more they cancel shows we love. , the less we will watch new shows. A kind of fatigue sets in with investing ourselves in shows that get cancelled. I even feel that way about Blue Bloods after 14 years—it wasn’t enough. Then what will the ad buyers pay when we watch even less? It’s a vicious circle.

    They should have kept on

    The Equalizer… FBI, most wanted …….. FBI international …. blue blood and less not forget S.W.A.T

    But what I have learned is the networks don’t care what the public or the fans want because to me if you can do a runoff with SWAT….. with blue blood then you could’ve left the shows on TV…. But who am I my opinions don’t count …. none that you care about…

    why does CBS cancel all the good show like NCIS Los Angeles which was better than NCIS Sydney which not that good.

    They canceled FBI International and it was one of the better shows

    Is jesse lee soffer going to be in any new show. To me he was great in FBI international.

    OrangePumpkin

    Some of the shows juat continue to get worse. FBI Most Wanted was a great show. They had great characters and storylines. Then they sign Dylan to be the lead and his character is terrible. So over the top and ridiculous. It's hard watching him and the storyline. It seemed real the first couple season and now every episode seems fake. Maggie Bell on the orginal FBI started out okay. Now every episode she goes through a over the top issue. Shot, poisoned, hit by drone, get a child out of nowhere (that episode was crazy... went from never hearing about this friend and her kid to Maggie getting her), etc. It's so fake that it's laughable. Go back to how it was in the early seasons and I bet viewers would improve.

  29. O

    OrangePumpkin

    YES! I keep saying that International is far better than the orginal. The orginal has gotten so ridiculous and fake. Maggie get hit by a drone and her heart stops but after 30 seconds of compressions she is up, fine, and back at her appt. The shows just gets worse every season. I think some of the actors make it worse. International is awesome and I've loved Jesse joining the cast. I really honestly think timeslots play a big part in the views. People watch the 8pm timeslot more than the 9 or 10pm slot. I bet if switched around there would be big differences. I just hate when they cancel really good shows and renew terrible ones.

  30. O

    OrangePumpkin

    The time slot also plays a part in the ratings. I guarantee if FBI International or Chicago PD were on at 8pm instead of 9 or 10, the ratings would change. International is a far better show then the orginal FBI. The orginal (along with Maggie) seems fake at times. International seems far more serious and legit. I also think Chicago PD gets dinged because it's on at 10pm and because they keep cutting the budget making it hard to show more than 2 or 3 people in each episode. I don't get it.

  31. O

    OrangePumpkin

    Exactly! I don't get why some get canceled and others don't. It doesn't make any sense.

  32. O

    OrangePumpkin

    EXACTLY!! Once Dylan join, the show has been rough to watch. He is so over the top and ridiculous. He makes the show seem like a joke. No surprise it got canceled. I am just heartbroken over International being canceled. Especially since Jesse joined. He has been great.

  33. O

    OrangePumpkin

    I love FBI International and even more so with Jesse. I haven't been into FBI Most Wanted since Dylan joined. He is terrible in that show. It's so over the top and ridiculous.

  34. O

    OrangeCherries

    Bobby's dying on 911 was so shocking that I couldn't believe they eliminated the "core" of the show and broke up that Family feeling where there was a "go to" person for the team!! I tried watching the last show and felt it had "lost" that connection. Not planning on watching it faithfully any more. Will watch reruns with Bobby from now on.........

  35. P

    PurpleCocktail

    CBS STOP CANCELING ALL THE GOOD SHOW. Bring back the good shows. Get rid of NCIS: Sydney and bring back NCIS:Hawaii! Bring back Equalizer, both are great shows.

    I hope CBS stop cancelling favorite shows. I'm voting for Dylan McDermott as the next James Bond. I understand he's not British, we have a lot of British actors imitating Americans.....

    I think CBS is shooting themselves in the foot. They are cancelling highly watched and liked shows and replacing them with sitcoms that nobody cares about and reality shows that have long since run their course. They are driving people to watch streaming series on Hulu, Prime or Netflix.

    I think at the end of this season with CBS I will no longer watch anything on CBS. They are and have cancelled every good show. Well I for one have had enough of CBS. They cancelled all the good NCIS shows yet keep the boring mother show and Sydney. (Not to mention Origins which bites.) They cancelled Blue Bloods, S.W.A.T. and now two of the FBI spin-offs (yet they're going to bring on CIA) and pondering Equalizer's future. Enough is enough and I'm fed up with CBS so I quit and will read, listen to music or watch reruns of old shows.

    I think most wanted wasn't believable, he become a soap opera. International didn't come off because of bad acting... FBI is the only one we watch.The new characters are not cutting it on that note. So hopefully they will change them...

    Based on these comments, I must be one of the few who are immensely bored and tired of having so many procedurals/dramas. I watched one episode of FBI and was over it. I watched Chicago Fire for the first few years but then became bored with it and moved on. Hell, SVU should have been retired a decade ago. If anything, at this time, we need more comedies, not dramas. We have enough drama in real life, we don't need to see it as much on TV any longer.

        I enjoy it much more than I thought I would. I love the Big Bang Universe and look forward to Stuart's show too. I do think we just need more enjoyment now...bring back the TGIF era of TV. More comedies and less darkness.

          And that's not to say that it's not good to have some drama. I love Tracker and still love NCIS (both the mothership and Sydney...I think Origins is kind of overkill). I just think there's far too much...and far too much that is repetitive.

    3. G

      GoldRing

      I keep telling people that Tracker is nothing more than a procedural. Like the NCIS and FBI shows, the main character has all sorts of resources at his disposal. And he rarely 'tracks' people out in the woods or other areas of wilderness. You can practically plan the show out, scene-by-scene. Yet other fans call it 'unique' and 'different.' 🙄

      (Actually, it's a lot like Supernatural... except with human bad guys instead of vampires, werewolves, demons, etc.)

        That's certainly fair. I enjoy it just because it's different from other procedurals, although I agree that it still is one. For me, all the others are just repetitive of one another. It's just like back in the day I loved Criminal Minds, but over time, there's only so many crazy serial killer scenarios that can be covered, and then it becomes repetitive. The same has happened with all the others. Elsbeth offers a unique experience because we generally know the killer in advance and just watch her try to catch them, but it's still a procedural. Ultimately, there's just too much of the same. Let's moderate it a bit and bring back the Norman Lear-esque comedies (which likely came around in response to the Nixon era) to lighten the mood a bit.

    I question whether the execs at CBS know what they're doing canceling FBI Most Wanted and International and most of all Blue Bloods. I think there was more story to tell on Blue Bloods. I'm also disappointed that some of the NCIS spinoffs were cancelled. I hope they come up with equally good shows as replacements. They also should not cancel S.W.A.T!!!

      Literally look at the numbers. Blue Bloods ran for 14 seasons. There are no stories left to tell.

      Most Wanted and International are MILLIONS of viewers below where they were 3 years ago and this year was their biggest drop. CBS would be negligent to not cancel them.

  54. G

    GreenApple

    I just shake my head. I lost all hope with CBS after they got rid of 3 great NCIS shows (LA, New Orleans, and Hawaii) and put some dumb Origins on. Now FBI IN International Most Wanted? I don't know what to say. If Equalizer goes I'm going to be heated. I'm already mad that you moved it to 10pm which seemed to be the landing spot for shows about to depart. Keep it up CBS. You're just opening the door for NBC to take over.

    Why cancel Blue Bloods if it was a top show? I don't understand why they get rid of shows that are extremely good. Blue Bloods and SWAT should have remained.

    1. J

      Joe Greene

      The first 10 seasons of Blue Bloods drew 12-14 million viewers per episode.

      The last few have dropped off a cliff with 2024-45 being down under 8 million.

      14 years is probably too long for a show and they're clearly running out of ratings steam.

    What I don't understand is why great shows are canceled in the first place. My favorite show was Blue Bloods. I was hoping that another channel would pick them up.

      The viewership isn't good. They're both down several million viewers in 3 years and both lost around 10% this year. They're both in a free fall and CBS would be dumb to keep them.

    I don't understand why CBS keeps Fire Country. It's horrible, manufactured misery, and I'm obviously not the only one who thinks so. Maybe it will get better without Gabriela (that character is an absolute train wreck), but they've also decided to write out Billy Burke. CBS has canceled much better shows than this for much worse reasons.

    I like FBI: Most Wanted, so I'll miss it. I never got into FBI: International. I wish they hadn't cancelled SWAT. Even though most of the original cast was gone, I still watched it. CBS doesn't seem to care if their shows are popular with an audience. They cancel them regardless. The two FBI shows they cancelled were in the top 20. Doesn't make sense.

    Unfortunately, CBS is canceling great shows for financial reasons. I believe Blue bloods just got too expensive for them. Probably FBI international as well. Is all because their parent Paramount is trying to put lipstick on a pig in order to merge with another company.

    I liked blue bloods until they talked about canceling and tom cellick said he may loose his ranch if he doesn’t work? A grown man that has owned his property since the 1980’s who has made millions and millions more than most people do in a lifetime? Wants us to feel sorry for his miss management of money. I don’t feel sorry for anyone that makes that kind of money and wants the public to feel bad for them. Just like wimpie golddiger. Makes everyone feel she really needs to work because she can not afford not to?

Elsbeth practically addresses some "woke" issue every week...hell the last episode I watched had a throuple...that stuff doesn't bother me, I don't know why it does to others, as it doesn't impact anyone. It's entertainment...and whether you want to hear about it or not, does exist in real life.
