"CSI: Vegas" & "So Help Me Todd" Cancelled at CBS

April 19, 2024


CBS has canceled "CSI: Vegas" after three seasons and "So Help Me Todd" after two. The news is not surprising as Deadline revealed earlier this week that both dramas were heavily on the bubble and in grave danger.

That despite them both being solid ratings performers.



In most current linear Nielsen viewership (2/12 to date), "CSI: Vegas", which improved its time period, is at #21 among all non-sports broadcast programs with 6.234M viewers and "So Help Me Todd" at #22 with 6.224M.

That is more than a slew of series on other broadcast networks that have been safely renewed for next season.



In 35-day multi-platform viewership, "So Help Me Todd" is ahead by a hair with 7.7M viewers vs 7.6M for "CSI: Vegas".

There are no current plans for either series to move to Paramount+ following their CBS cancellations.
