CBS's treatment of this show was, and continues to be, disgraceful.

While it's definitely the most prestigious and genre-bending of CBS's police procedurals, I would argue that "The Good Wife" is far and away the best example of prestige television on CBS. That being said, let me join in the chorus that thinks it's complete BS that POI has been left off the...

New York Comic-Con Trailer:

Season 5 episode titles: 5x01 - B.S.O.D. 5x02 - SNAFU 5x03 - Truth Be Told 5x04 - ShotSeeker 5x07 - Root and Shaw The first three seasons are also available now on Netflix. To mark the occasion, IGN has a good interview with creator Jonathan Nolan and showrunner Greg Plageman where they...

Sarah Shahi: "I’ll probably do eight or nine" of the shortened season's 13 episodes.

From the tidbits that have come out of Comic-Con, it sounds like Nolan and company are planning these 13 episodes as the end of the road, while leaving small avenues of exploration open in case they get a back nine pickup and/or additional seasons. That seems like a sensible approach when CBS is...

I think that part of the season will wrap up by the episode 7 or 8 if only because...

SpoilerTV has since retracted their statement; the episode count for the upcoming season is back to 13 episodes. Synopsis:

SpoilerTV is reporting that the episode count for the upcoming season settled out at 15 episodes

To be fair, 11 of the 18 shows ahead of it air on CBS.

Extremely frustrating.

As has been mentioned here, CBS did not include "Person of Interest" on its fall schedule. It's been dealt "Mike and Molly's" fate of being on standby to be plugged in if one of the new hour long dramas bombs. As a result, CBS has yet to settle on a final episode count for the season and hasn't...

I would imagine CBS could pick up the back nine if too many new shows fail or if there's an uptick in the ratings, but it's not a sign of confidence on the network's part. The biggest problem is that it's a Warner Bros. show on a network that increasingly favors CBS Studios productions.

CBS cuts back Season 5 episode order to 13 episodes If that isn't a sign that Nolan and Plageman need to wrap things up, I don't know what is.

The Machine made a deal to reveal its location in return for the lives of Root and Finch, which Samaritan likely considered a distinction without a difference, but which our Machine exploited as best it could. The exchange happened machine to machine, so there would have been no dialog...

Yes, Jonah Nolan sounds very clueless in interviews when he says they're not playing season five as a final season since they have many years left to go. Realistically, they have one more season to go. The showrunners should acknowledge that and make the most of it.

After tonight's finale, "Person of Interest" is ten episodes away from 100 episodes, which creates a huge boost for syndication deals. In addition, tonight's finale was a cliffhanger, and for streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime satisfactory endings command a significant premium over...

I'm still enjoying it, but I hope that they announce that next season will be the last. This is a show that deserves a proper ending.

I watched the first half of this episode right before bed last night, half asleep already, and I had to watch the whole thing over again this morning to decipher the three time periods of the episode and the slowly crumbling divide between what objectively happened and what was going on in...

I wouldn't mind the Samaritan story carrying over into next season, but at the very least the tide needs to turn sooner rather than later.

Last night's episode was the second time this TV season that I've been jarred by Aasif Mandvi showing up in a dramatic role on a CBS show. I really enjoyed that Root's subplot was all about getting an indestructible case, and that the priceless contents were utterly irrelevant. Another...

Very cool, Todd!

The ruckus with Reese and the bounty hunter handcuffed together in the butcher shop was one of the more interesting fight sequences the show has pulled off lately. Nice showcase tonight for Amy Acker. That being said, I hope they don't try to play a romantic angle between Root and Harold. Her...

I agree, but that's certainly no criticism of "Person of Interest". "The Good Wife" is the best show on network television, period. "Person of Interest" is my favorite procedural on TV, though.

Phenomenal episode tonight. The A plot worked really well with the language translator at the Siri-esque search software company, but it was the B plot with the return of Claire that really shined. Quinn Shephard continues to prove that she's one of the best young actresses working today. The...

Yeah, pretty standard fare stand alone episode. But the return of Paige Turco as Zoe Morgan is always welcome, and Blair Brown has a standing invitation for whenever she wants to appear on my TV screen. Can't believe CBS's promo department for next week's preview:

Amy Acker has aged incredibly well, but watching that "Angel" clip, it's amazing how young she looked as Fred.

Great finale to this three-episode "trilogy". Usually these stories are about the artificial intelligence awakening to a world controlled by humans, whereas this was a story of the humans awakening to a world controlled by artificial intelligence. It says everything you need to know about...

Sarah Shahi's estimating that she'll be away from acting for about two years once the twins are born.

Shahi is hopeful, and so are Nolan and Plageman. But it's likely she's going to be gone for a while, since she's having twins.
