‘Magnum P.I.’ & More Highest-Rated Shows Canceled This Season
Bull is bulldozed, The Endgame is at its end, Mr. Mayor has been removed from office, and the news is negative for B Positive and bad for Good Sam.
Those five shows rank among the highest-rated series that were taken off the primetime schedule ahead of the 2022–2023 season, according to ratings data from TV Series Finale.
The top 10 canceled shows all hail from CBS and NBC, suggesting those two networks probably have the highest standards for ratings. The ranking also indicates that tallies of linear TV viewers aren’t the only deciding factor for TV execs—otherwise CBS might have saved Magnum P.I. instead of the lower-rated CSI: Vegas.
With no further ado, here’s the lineup of shows that probably had those execs going back and forth with their decisions.
Magnum P.I. (CBS)
Season 4 average: 5.24 million total viewers
United States of Al (CBS)
Season 2 average: 4.93 million total viewers
B Positive (CBS)
Season 2 average: 4.48 million total viewers
Bull (CBS)
Season 6 average: 4.20 million total viewers
How We Roll (CBS)
Season 1 average: 3.51 million total viewers
Ordinary Joe (NBC)
Season 1 average: 2.28 million total viewers
Good Sam (CBS)
Season 1 average: 2.20 million total viewers
The Endgame (NBC)
Season 1 average: 1.88 million total viewers
Kenan (NBC)
Season 2 average: 1.80 million total viewers
Mr. Mayor (NBC)
Season 2 average: 1.74 million total viewers

O
Magnum P.I. was my favorite. That really stung. Friday nights were what I looked forward to. Now, not as much. Thanks alot CBS! ☹️🤬
-
R
Agree. Bad idea to cancel Magnum.
-
C
My exact feelings! I miss MacGyver and now they took away Magnum I will not be watching CBS on Fridays anymore
-
R
Dang it, just as Magnum and Higgins were just getting it on ugh…
-
R
Hopefully some other network will pick it up
-
O
So sad...love this show
-
G
I agree
-
-
O
I love Magnum P.I. Will really miss the cast and story lines. Friday nights will not be the same now that there is no show to watch. I hope someone picks it up. It's one of the best shows on TV.
-
O
Magnum PI does not deserve to be cancelled! Friday nights were my night for CBS. Going back to Magyver, Hawaii Five-O and Blue Bloods. Magnum filled the void that Hawaii Five-O left. It was so refreshing to see scenes of the tropics every week. And to do it just when things are getting interesting for Thomas and Higgins! You guys are CRUEL!
-
P
CBS/NBC Universal please work out the debacle you have created with the cancellation of Magnum P.I.
Strong Friday night ratings . Incredibly loyal global fan base.Great lead and supporting cast. Generates awareness of veterans issues.
Feel good programming among a sea of mediocre hospital, fire department and federal investigation shows.
-
C
I agree. Totally upset about magnum being cancelled. Great story lines, strong character development, and beautiful scenery. I only watch blue bloods because it comes on after magnum, so I won’t be watching that show anymore.
-
-
B
Magnum P I is my favorite. I am going to really miss Magnum on Friday night.
-
C
I will really miss Magnum PI. Such a loss.
-
P
All I can say is that I hope whatever takes Magnum's slot on Friday nights next fall flops splendidly. This series was in the Top 20, & STILL got the axe. To my fellow viewers, don't get invested in another show, especially with CBS. It'll just end badly. As for me, I've washed my hands of broadcast tv. I can't stomach another drab procedural against a backdrop of gray.
-
C
Agreed
-
-
G
Really don't understand the cancellation of US of Al. The characters were all completely formed and showed growth over the seasons, the actors we all great in said roles, the writing was strong in the funny and serious episodes and the rating were decent by any network standard. Don't get it at all. Please reconsider.
-
O
They went too far with the infidelity story line owing to the time of night that it airs.
-
-
G
I cannot believe you are dumping Magnum. Best show and best cast and great ratings. CBS is going to lose a lot of viewers.
-
C
a shame for Magnum P.I. hope maybe Netflix will pick up
-
O
Will miss MagnumPI why cancel a great show?
-
L
I enjoyed B Positive, although the 2nd season reminded me of The Cool Kids, another cancelled show I enjoyed. They had a great ensemble cast, although the new rivalry was not my favorite storyline.
-
D
The first season was about donating a kidney to a sick friend. In the second season was about the assisted living facility. The Cools Kids was also at an assisted living facility
-
-
O
Disappointment with B Positive being canceled as I enjoyed both season. Was hoping that, even though it was a bubble show, it would be given a third season. Even though I liked Good Sam, I figured it was getting the axe because of the ratings.
-
C
Loved Magnum PI, Endgame was an excellent show. But instead let’s keep all these ridiculous singing and dancing competition shows where there’s no plot to look forward to and a bunch of people that can neither dance or sing. NOT!!!
-
O
Magnum PI is a favorite of mine also. Please rethink letting it go.
-
O
I think NBC and CBS are networks that should not be counted on . Don’t bother getting involved with a show. It will be pulled off the lineup as soon as you get hooked
-
C
Magnum was one of my favorite shows. I hope CBS changes their mind.
Very disappointed when I heard.
-
G
I can’t believe CBS canceled Magnum PI. I watched it every week.
-
R
I am furious with CBS. They canceled the best show on TV! #SaveMagnumPI. We don’t need an NCIS in every city. Boycotting CBS!!
-
C
Amen ! Good-bye CBS
-
G
Yes, time to boycott CBS! Totally agree with you!
-
-
-
O
Magnum PI was so great... I really can't understand such a decision... They even were telling the actor to direct next season so they were feeling safe to return! That's disrespectful... and dishonest with the fans with all this promotions they made
-
P
I enjoyed watching the us of Al. They need to reconsider ending this show. Why dont they get rid of some of those reality shows that are very getting old, boring same old stuff!!
-
C
I agree get Rid of those so called reality shows, Bring back Magnum and United States of Al!
-
-
G
I'm highly upset with Magnum PI being canceled. When your retirement age it's nice to see great series like Magnum PI. Then when the show finally gets the actors together as you have hoped for years they cancel the show. BAD MOVE. Always looked forward to Friday nights. Once Hawaii 5 o was gone & MacGyver Magnum was there. CBS you made a bad mistake. What's next Blue Bloods. Start thinking of the viewers!!!!! Really disappointed
-
O
Sorry to see magnum gone was great lead in to blue bloods
-
-
C
CBS you suck! Why would you cancel such a great remake of Magnum PI. I like it better that the original and it was hits getting good! I want to boycott the network until they bring it back. If Netflix were smart they would pick up this show because that would make the outrageous rate if Netflix worth keeping! B Positive is another great show. Smart, funny and sharp with a great cast with several great veteran actors and actresses! CBS you have blown it!!
-
P
Thanks CBS Magnum PI was a great show I saw the last one what are you gonna leave everybody hanging about Thomas and Higgins way to go
-
O
You cancelled Magnum P.I. how dumb. Friday's won't be the same.
-
B
They need to save Magnum PI
-
G
Magnum was the only thing CBS had thanks for nothing
-
P
Magnum, is another great show that should not be cancelled.
-
G
Yes, Magnum was a great show... When it starred Tom Selleck.
-
-
S
Liked The Endgame. Sorry to see it go.
-
G
I enjoyed it a lot. I would have rather they cancel The Blacklist which I feel has largely run its course, and give The Endgame a chance to grow.
-
S
👍
-
-
-
P
Magnum PI was the best show on TV right now. 🙁
-
B
CBS dropped three shows I really liked: Magnum PI, United States of Al and B Positive. There are others on that station that survived but I would never watch. 😒
-
O
I looked forward to United States of Al and B Positive...I thought they were both well written and wonderful shows...don't understand how some of these other shows stay on such as Survivor and Bachelor type shows? Who are watching these? 18 year old people...I doubt it...but then again some people watched 3 years of Gilligan's Island. That is when seasons would include 36 episodes.🤨
-
-
G
I love Magnum P.I.!!! The cast has great chemistry and the scenery is terrific!! Huge mistake to cancel it!! Guess I'll be turning to Netflix on Friday nights now. So sad!! 😔
-
G
CBS should just stop- if you like a show (Life in Pieces), they cancel it & keep stupid ones on too long.
-
P
Bring back Magnum
-
O
Magnum was a favorite of mine look forward to Friday. What’s wrong with you people? CBS you are not one of my favorite anymore
-
C
It's very wrong to cancell these shows on cbs.who makes the decisions not the viewers .it's just like the government .we have no say in that either.
-
C
I really liked magnum pi, and good Sam. Not much else to watch anymore.. I have been watching a lot of the older shows free on tubi. The networks don’t listen to what the people want at all.
-
O
Magnum PI should never have gotten canceled- already took off Macgyver which I really liked on Fridays and now Magnum? There’s nothing else to watch. I looked forward to Friday night tv after long work week - surprising us by ending show was not the answer.
-
C
Well CBS had a great Friday night lineup. Then they destroyed the storyline to MacGyver and I quit watching. Now they've canceled Magnum PI, which I loved to watch. Blue Bloods is THE ONLY show left on TV period that I like. Waiting for you all to screw that up too ! It was a stupid decision to take Magnum off !
-
B
I loved magnum p I, it is awful how you execs at cbs decide to get rid of shows without taking the viewers into consideration. If you allow the dance show to stay instead of magnum, I'M DONE!!!!
-
O
Really liked Magnum PI. Will miss it.
So few decent shows to watch anymore. Personally I don’t like most game shows and reality shows are a waste of time
-
B
I am not watching channel 2 anymore. We should all stop. Magnum PI was my favorite show. Keep CSI , Are u kidding me!!!
-
B
Why
Why. Why ? Why would you cancel Magnum PI ??? It was one.of the good ones !
-
P
I loved Magnum PI and request you change your minds and keep it going. All the others are fine to go though I enjoyed B Positive. PLEASE BRING BOTH BACK.
-
O
Yet they keep renewing Survivor and stupid stuff like that
-
O
I don’t understand how you cancel good shows that people watch and love, isn’t that the point of tv shows is that people watch and like them??
-
G
Well, apparently people didn't love em all that much since they didn't watch em. If you want to see more Magnum, PI i recommend checking out the original and best show on Hallmark or Paramount +
-
-
O
I think the producers, directors should bring back Magnum PI..it is my favorite Friday night show. It's a very good shoe,cast are funny and exciting.
-
O
I am very disappointed that Magnum PI has been cancelled. It is one of the best shows on CBS!
-
O
One of my favorite shows on Friday night. I have no idea why they cancel Magnum P I love that show.
-
R
I bet it came down to cost to profit ratio per episode between Magnum & another show, $ always wins !
-
-
G
CBS has a habit of cancelling good shows: first NCIS New Orleans, now Magnum P.I. What is the matter with you? Are you nuts?! You just cancelled another favorite show again!!
-
G
Magnum PI, Good Sam, and The Endgame were our favorites . Why do you always have to cancel good program's, who cares about ratings. Bring our program's back!!!
-
G
Taking off Magnum was abominable and just plain stupid. Who do the execs think watch these types of shows. Magnum 1000x better than NCIS Hawaii. Are they all so out of touch????!?
-
O
Not happy that Magnum is done😡
-
P
US of Al is a great show!
-
G
I'm crying along with everyone else but part of the reason for the numbers is that there are so few network programs left - everyone'a gone to streaming. We (apparantly few) diehard TV wathers have slimmer and slimmer pickings.
-
R
I love Magnum P.I. and US of Al. Will really miss the casts and story lines. I hope someone picks them up. A couple of the best shows on TV.
-
O
I am very upset 😡 that MAGNUM PI is canceled. They need to bring the show back.
-
O
CBS reconsider!!!! Magnum PI is a great show!!
-
B
I'm so disappointed that Magnum has been canceled !😟
-
C
magnum
pi the best show I've watched in a long time the ppl behind the shutdown are ffn morons
-
P
I love Good Sam. This ticks me off. And Magum PI. Why? This country is going nuts. Everything we like you take away. 😡
-
P
We are really going to miss United States of Al Loved all the characters on the show.And you didnt even give How We Roll a chance
-
R
It sucks I loved B positive they always leave shows on that suck
-
O
My husband and I are so upset! Magnum should NEVER have been cancelled! CBS rethink this or you’ll regret it with even less viewers!
Also, NBC cancelling, The End Game is another show that should have been given a renew! No wonder folks are going to streaming!
-
G
IMO, Magnum PI was the best show on TV....super bummed! 👎
-
O
Unbelievable that they would cancel Magnum PI. It is by far one of the best series on TV.
-
O
I'll miss B Positive and U S of Al. They always cancel the good shows and leave us with crap. Pretty soon network tv will just be dancing and singing.
-
O
I'll miss Endgame & Good Sam - didn't give them much of a chance cancelling before they hook people on them.
-
B
Magnum Pi, was a great friday night show to watch. Great cast and plots. And beautiful scenery. A total disgrace to be cancelled. Im too old for reality shows, i had to live them each day when i was in the workforce. CBS, i will say to you what i said to nascar. NFL football, and a couple more.......GOOD BYE!
-
G
Magnum was the best show recently.
Bad idea to cancel it.
The last scene would have made the show even better.
-
P
Why doesn't Paramount Plus stream new episodes of Magnum P.I. there?
-
O
Going miss Magnum PI.
-
C
CBS you suckkkkk...Magnum PI is awesome...I can't believe it's canx.
Now some stupid show you pick will be in its spot....I say it again CBS SUCKS!
-
P
With 4 of our favorite programs being canceled, by CBS, we will be watching less of CBS in the future. Big mistake on cancellations.
-
O
Very up set for the cancelation. Not fair for the fans
-
P
The Endgame was a great show. The acting, the storyline, all was good. What a shame to remove a good show and keep some of your choices.
-
R
great sitcoms will be a thing of the past. It’s putting actors out of work. Too many garbage reality shows 👎
-
C
Ordinary Joe was creative with great storylines, the only network show I really looked forward to - so sad to see it and the great ensemble cast go.
-
O
I will really miss Bull and Good Sam. It’s a shame good shows are cancelled when you get all involved in watching them. Great actors in both series.
-
O
Bull was canceled because Michael Weatherly is leaving.
-
-
C
Magnum PI was a favourite … watched every episode … surprised !
-
G
Magnum P.I. was a great show and helped us get through the loss of Hawai'i 5-0. I cannot believe they canceled it and instead left a sorry substitute called NCIS: Hawai'i. I hope another entity like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or FreeVee picks it up. I can't stand those reality and talent shows! HELP!!
-
B
CBS is making a huge mistake by cancelling Magnum. The story line was drveloping and sll the characters were interesting. I dont understand their decision, it's very short sighted. Losing interest in CBS.
-
B
I used to look forward to Friday night to watch Magnum PI. Huge mistake.
-
G
Yet they renewed The Equalizer for two seasons. That show sucks and nobody is buying Latifah as some bada$$
-
G
Can't believe they canceled the end game !! It kept us at the edge of our seats every week. Are you kidding? Morena Baccarin is phenomenal !! What a disappointment 😞
-
B
B positive was so clever with big stars. Too bad!
-
P
I think 'How We Roll' deserved another limited run. I'll miss it.
-
O
Canceling Magnum was dumb...
-
O
My husband and I, and especially my mom, will miss Magnum on Friday nights!! Hope another network will pick it up, and soon!!
-
P
CBS should have dumped Bob ♥ Abishola, Ghosts, The Neighborhood, Secret Celebrity Renovation, Survivor, and Tough as Nails. Instead of Magnum this fall. Thanks for nothing. CBS WAS my favorite network
-
O
I am SO ready to give up network TV after watching shows I like get knocked off the air when I am deeply involved in the plots & characters.
Magnum is the last straw ....
I am going to have a lot of free time to read, craft,
& listen to music.
CBS is a big disappointment these days. NBC isn't much better & ABC is a " don't even bother to tune into them".
-
G
I can’t believe that they canceled Magnum P.I. It was one of my favorite shows on tv. I always looked forward to Friday night. Guess I’ll find something on Netflix.
-
R
I also agree with everyone else. How can you cancel a show that has such good ratings? CBS is getting to be ridiculous lately with what they keep and what they cancel.
-
C
I don’t know what CBS is doing but there taking off some really good shows. Bring back Mom and Magnum
-
P
Magnum canceled. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! You going to replace it with NBC crap shows?
-
P
I think CBS is stooping to showing foolishness which is why I watch very few inane shows on the other Network Channels. Taking off good programs like Magnum hurts my loyalty to CBS.
-
C
It seems that they are, once again, cancelling the only shows I watched. I don't like watching reality shows and game shows (really, the same thing), so I guess they have lost me as a viewer. Streaming has become more fractured, and I'm not paying for 20 different streaming services. I guess it's a good thing I have a large backlog of books.
-
B
My whole family loved magnum PI
Sure wish it would return
Bummer
-
B
I think they going to be sorry they let Magnum PI go because they ain't going to find no show better than that. Want be watching cbs on Friday
-
P
Best cast on Magnum P.I. Number 1 show for me. Friday Night was CBS night, NOT ANY MORE , HOPE SPONSORS FELL THE SAME !!!😪😪😪
-
O
I loved Magnum PI....I looked forward to the Friday Night line up.....dang it CBS!!!
-
C
Our Friday nights will not be the same. Your wrong CBS
-
G
How can you get rid of Magnum? Best show on CBS for Friday night. Bring it back and remove some reality shows that no 1 watches.
-
O
Bull and Magnum P.I. are excellent shows! What are they replacing them with more Reality shows? CBS you are going to lose a lot of viewers!!
-
O
I love Magnum PI . I look forward to it every week. Don’t understand why they took it off. Maybe another network will pick it up
-
O
I am so sad that Magnum got cancelled it was my favorite show with great characters!!
-
O
I have stopped viewing new shows on any network, you get hooked and they cancel them. I can’t believe you guys canceled Magnum P. I. Hopefully another station will pick it up.
-
G
Big mistake cancelling magnum pi but what else is new, all the best shows get cancelled or move to a streaming service
-
R
Bring back Magnum.
-
G
Very upset about Magnum PI not being picked up. Such a bad decision. It was such a fun show
-
R
I will miss Magnum PI. I am glad the show left us hanging. I found that if the show did continued, it would have failed because they were bringing Magnum and Higgins together. When you bring the main characters together there would not have been the teasing they had in the beginning. Magnum and Higgins are more like a brother and sister relationship.
-
P
I will miss Magnum.
Please reconsider.
This was my #1show I watched.
-
C
The worst decision ever to cancel magnum pi hate this so much CBS u suck
-
O
I am so disappointed about the cancellation of the endgame. I was waiting to see what was next. NBC you suck!!!
-
G
First Criminal Minds, then McGuyver, now Magnum. All gone!! Really poor decisions!!
-
C
I think they made a mistake taking magnum pi off, it is the third best show on CBS in my opinion. And yet they left CSI Vegas, that show is bad. It seems most shows only get four years then CBS cancels them. You should rethink magnum with out it you won't have a Friday
-
O
I love Magnum P.I. very disappointed that CBS has canceled it. 😡🤬What a joke. It's one of the best shows on t.v. right now. They better reconsider bringing it back.
-
P
I am so upset about Magnum, it’s a great show! And it didn’t deserve to be canceled at all, what is wrong with CBS? Also the Endgame, United States of Al, and Be Positive don’t deserve to be canceled either! Now I’m afraid to get interested in any show on CBS.
-
G
I don't understand why a great show like Magnum PI is cancelled. 😔
-
O
BAD CHOICE! Magnum was good show! Shame on you CBS!
-
O
Magnum P:I was the best thing on TV in decades!!!! Me and my wife are absolutely "SICK" about the show being cancelled! Please CBS bring Magnum P:I back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
G
Very disappointed. Magnum is my favorite show. Please reconsider!
-
G
A bad decision, I look forward to Friday nights with a dose of Mágnum P.I. and Blue Bloods. All the primary and secondary characters had well developed storylines. Magnum and Higgins the tease was driving me crazy, Rick and expected father about to do the right thing, TC and kid, erc, etc, etc...I hope another network picks the series up, 🤧
-
O
I won't be watching CBS without Magnum PI!
-
B
Took away End Game NO ENDING just left us hanging nbc doesn't care about it's viewer's and Magnum P.l. what's with that cbs just don't care about what the viewer's won't
-
G
Whoever rates these shows should be fired. Magnum was the only and best show playing. Unbelievable!
-
P
CBS breaks my heart once again. I don't mind Good Sam getting the axe, because it was difficult to watch a father literally try to destroy his daughter every week. Seriously, I was hoping to finally see Higgins and Magnum get together! There are still good shows on CBS, but too much time in between them so I'll probably find something else to watch on another network. I'm done picking up the pieces of my broken heart.
-
P
Out of the 10, 7 were watched by us. Magnum PI most favorite. ABC, CBS & NBC will send us to watching movies only during Prime Time if cancelling popular series.
-
R
Ordinary Joe is the one that is most disappointing to me. I enjoyed the three different tracks his life was on and was looking forward to seeing more.
-
G
Took a chance on two new dramas, the Endgame and Good Sam and of course, both get cancelled and BOTH had multiple cliffhangers. I wish shows would not do that, especially if they have not been renewed! They were both good shows too.
-
G
Ahhh! I love those old people on B-positive.☹️
-
O
Good Sam was up against Chicago p.d.. What's her name is not even a good actress.
-
O
Never watched Good Sam, would never anyhow. The actress has an annoying mouse voice. And I prefer the Wednesday Chicago3 lineup anyhow.
-
-
O
I would like to know who makes these stupid decisions. Cancelling Bull and United States of Al.
I only keep cable for local channels. Now I could care less. My friend who rarely watches local channels is done also.
-
B
Never heard of most of these. Good Sam was completely dumb. I worked at a hospital so it was odd to watch that mess.
-
G
No Not Kenan
-
G
Me, too! It was a good show. I loved all the characters and enjoyed the show land characters overall. Thanks CBS for screwing up our favorite show.
-
P
I can’t believe they canceled Magnum P.I. I loved watching that show every week someone should pick it up and I will still be watching
-
R
I agree.. bad idea to cancel Magnum..this is one of my favorite shows..
-
R
I love Magnum P.I. and I'm really bummed that it's been canceled! VERY bad idea to cancel Magnum. The only good thing that happened is Magnum and Higgy getting together. I'm disgusted with CBS!!!
-
G
I am still in total shock over the cancellation of Magnum P.I. and will no longer be watching CBS. This was one of the worst decisions they could have made. They keep the crap shows and get rid of the good ones. I don't want to hear it's about money, because these stations have plenty of money. That's just an excuse and I'm not buying it. It was the best show on television. A great cast and great storylines. I hope another Network is smart enough to pick up this show. I would definitely be watching.
-
O
Bring magnum PI back ,i thought for sure it would be renewed ,great story line and cast!!!
-
O
Magnum was the only reason I turned on CBS via Paramount + on Fridays. I really looked forward to each episode and it kept getting more interesting! Great writers, great cast, poor support from the network. Guess I will be streaming something from Netflix or Amazon on Fridays or reading a book, but no interest in CBS that night. It was literally my favorite show of all the weekly/yearly choices.
-
O
Would like Magnim PI brought back! My favorite program! Recorded on Fridays & watched Saturday morning with my cup of coffee! Very disappointed it was canceled!
-
G
Please save Magnum p.i., loved the show..In a world of so many BAD shows why cancel a good one? Cough up the money, it gets you good ratings!
-
B
would love magnum PI back
-
G
WHY is Bull being cancelled? The acting is great and the storylines are intelligent. Maybe if it's dumbed down and add lots of "shoot 'em up" the networks would keep it? So much TV today is filled with violence and that's limiting what I enjoy watching. Why not cancel The Equalizer? It's just another "bang, bang, kill them." What a waste.
-
P
I am very disappointed about magnum being cancelled loved that show. They always get rid of the good shows
-
R
I finally got a series I enjoy (How We Roll) do to its premise, PBA wannabe Tom Smallwood. Then? Just as it begins to hit its stride, CBS, in all their infinite wisdom, decides to cancel it.
Now, they’ll probably bring us a remake of Beverly Hillbillies or so other ridiculous thing.
I am so irate with these idiots.
-
G
Don’t have to watch CBS anymore. The news is horrible, reality shows must go they are not interesting. Music and Dance shows boring. You cut the good shows, esp Magnum.
-
C
I am so disappointed that Magnum PI got cancelled. Best show on Friday night there was. Not sure what the licensing disagreement is all about but every time they put on a decent show that the whole family can watch it gets canceled.
It had a good story line and the cast was amazing.
Then there is B Positive and United States of Al that also got cancelled and I won’t even get into Bull it was a great show as well. Looks like it doesn’t matter that these were the highest rated shows that got canceled and some of the less watched shows got renewed, what about that makes any sense? People will start watching another network and then what will they cancel? Well pretty obvious they don’t care. Just venting here because this just makes me furious!
-
C
I personally enjoyed B-Positive & United States of Al, but am glad to see Mr. Mayor go. I can’t believe such a disjointed show with zero ensemble chemistry went even a half of a season.
-
C
Reinstate Magnum.
-
R
Canceling Magnum is a stupid move.I will be watching a lot less of CBS.
-
P
B post it Was refreshing you guys really need help
-
G
Magnum, PI should have been saved. Get rid of CSI Las Vegas. Living in Las Vegas the last thing I need is more crime displayed on screen. Watching local news is bad enough. Will set a record for Blue Bloods and watch an alternate channel on Friday nights.
-
P
I want magnum back don’t tell me it wasn’t watched more than that stupid csi Vegas you aren’t even bringing the best actors back your stupid
-
R
Can’t believe Magnum PI was canceled. WHY WHY WHY. That show was awesome!
-
G
So annoyed that Magnum PI has been cancelled. 🤬 🤯 One of my most favourite shows. WTH!!
-
O
US of Al was a show my husband a marine and I really liked! This makes no sense whatsoever! Why take off the shows people watch and replace them with junk tv! We do not want anymore reality tv shows, love game shows etc!! We want good family shows or we can just stop watching altogether.
-
C
Should cancel cbs
-
S
First it Hawaii 50, now Magnum. What's next, Blue Bloods? No more CBS on Friday nights.
-
G
I think that since Paramount took over CBS, the quality of programming has stumbled and fallen miserably! Someone needs to get out of their gopher hole and look around at what the public wants to watch.
-
R
Way to go CBS, you just lost another family of viewers
-
R
Sounds stupid I just read last month that it was renewed and now it's cancelled. Pretty stupid. CBS. Will be losing. Viewers big time.
-
O
I’m angry at CBS. They never even gave some of the axed shows a chance. I’m not going to be looking to CBS going forward for my TV entertainment. They just make fools out of their viewers. I’m done.

I knew Magnum PI was going to get canceled when Higgins and Magnum expressed their feelings towards each other and Katsumoto got.fired. CBS is always pulling stunts like this. Done with CBS.

Bad idea going to start watching other shows on Netflix

I totally agree to cancel Magnum BIG MISTAKE! I certainly wont be watching CBS now
-
R
Someone does not know what they are doing. They don’t know what the fans want
-
P
Hate canceling shows without an ending 😒. Ordinary Joe was great and now over. I will definitely need to think about getting involved with new series on any network

Like most people I really look forward to Fridays to watch Magnum P.I. Let CBS and the other stations get rid of the so-called reality shows they stink there’s nothing real about them. We lost MacGyver now we’re losing Magnum PI. CBS You’re getting to the point I won’t be watching CBS at all. PS

I'm very upset they're taking away all the good shows leaving only a few and mostly bad ones and then putting on more ridiculous ones instead of giving us what we want the good shows that they're taking away!!
-
O
Put Magnum PI on Paramount like they did Seal Team.
The Networks keep pushing garbage Reality Shows, it's not like the Adults in the room have a say🤷🤷🤦
-
C
Magnum PI was alright but not near as good as the original Magnum PI
-
G
They shouldn't have taken off be positive or United States of Al those were both really good shows and it sucks
-
O
I'm not interesting in 1 more stupid singing or dancing show. Can you people leave the good shows on TV and take all the crap off? Like every other job out there, "upper management stinks!"
-
C
Bring back POI

I think it is ridiculous that those in charge think there has to be some sort of love interest in their characters. I won't miss that about
Magnum. That belief has been the demise of several good shows, i.e., Bones, etc.

I truly feel that Magnum PI should be renewed by CBS. Apparently what the viewers want is not what we are getting. CBS have other shows that aren't doing so well and they leave the viewers with the crappiest shows and take away good shows like Magnum, before that it was the show All Rise and don't forget Seal Team
CBS maybe you should listen to the viewers and not so much to people sitting at table

G
Ive never heard of any of these shows, guess thats why they are cancelled.

As long a whatever replaces it has Perdita Weeks, I will survive.
-
O
Move Al and B Positive to Netflix
-
B
I really loved both Mr. Mayor and Good Sam. I'm sad they were cancelled.
-
G
Cancel Magnum? Yet renew SWAT? Again? It should have been cancelled three seasons ago! Big mistake CBS!
-
B
Who wants all the police shows? Fireman shows? I want to laugh a little and relax..all my favorite escapes are now cancelled..why even watch T.V.??
-
P
What effing idiot decided to cancel endgame. It was the best new show this year. This is going to be another Firefly situation, regretting the idiotic cancellation.
-
G
B positive needed to go but. It Not United States of Al
-
B
I’ll only miss Bull.. heard he wanted to end it…

B Positive's ratings dropped for the second season and CBS has moved its time around a few times. The second season went in a different direction from the first season. The first season was about donating a kidney to a sick friend. In the second season was about the assisted living facility.
-
O
Never watched any of them. My bad.
-
O
I tried watching several episodes of each of the canceled CBS shows. The only show that I found interesting to watch was B Positive. After a few episodes of the first season of Magnum PI, I was bored. Same can be said of the others that were not renewed. Hopefully, something entirely new will grace the Fall lineup.
-
P
Agree, it was about the only show I watched on a major network.
You can keep all those singing and dancing showes...over and over again. BORING....repeat...
Hope the Paramount network would pick up this show and Bull.
Fingers crossed.

I want to see the original series again. We watched the new Magnum a few times, then gave it up. You can't replace Tom Selleck . . . or the dogs . . .

Good riddance to the Magnum reboot. Hope the best for the cast and crew, but other than that I never liked it from the get go. You can't replace Tom Selleck or the other three fantastic actors. Their chemistry was perfection and each of them owned their roles. I don't relish folks losing their jobs but I do hope that this is the true beginning of the end of the godawful reboot trend. Stop trying to replace the classics, hollywood! It doesn't work. We're not gonna magically forget Tom Selleck or Edward Woodward or other iconic actors in iconic roles.
