TV Viewer says
I am extremely happy that CBS renewed all of these excellent programs that the people love to watch.
The only real surprise is the renewal of Madam Secretary, since the ratings are low, however, it’s owned by the network, there is syndication money, and it airs in the Sunday 10 PM time slot, (and thanks to sports overruns), sometimes later than 10 PM. Any show airing on CBS Sunday night at 10 PM will get lousy ratings, so CBS sticks their lowest owned show in this time slot.
I expect ABC/CBS will make a last minute renewal of Criminal Minds as they usually do each and every year.
In 2017 CBS gave a last minute renewal to Code Black, (which they own), so some other program(s), might still get renewed.
Thank you very much CBS. This is excellent news to a lot of people.

Very Happy that they renewed Hawaii Five O. If they could just replace the WIMP, DANNO on the show with a new character or different actor, that would be great!

I see CBS is catering the all the Hillary supporters who still haven’t stopped pretending she’ll be in an office again. Ridiculous show if you actually look at the story-line.
Any other year I would have been happy Blueboods was renewed. But this season they’ve started going
the way Law & Order went. They’ve decided to start working a liberal agenda into the story-lines inside of what cops really do; enforce crime! Bluebloods used to be an interesting combination of interesting of a complex crime drama, with a family story-line thrown-in. I guess since it’s set in NY they’ve decided they can fore-go the crime story-line and give us a 60 min lecture on left-wing politics. This may be my last season watching Bluebloods. It’s supposed to be a cop show. Not the View.

That’s why last man standing got canned on a b c
