CBS Faces Backlash Over NCIS: Hawaii Cancellation Despite Solid Ratings and Franchise Ties
NCIS: Hawaii fans are up in arms following CBS’s unexpected cancellation of the popular spinoff last month. Despite its decent ratings and connection to the NCIS franchise, the decision left even star Vanessa Lachey stunned.
CBS President Amy Reisenbach attempted to justify the move during a panel at the Banff World Media Festival, acknowledging the difficulty of such decisions. “They’re extremely tough calls to make. I sympathize with all the fans who are disappointed,” she said. “Our job at CBS is to make these tough calls based on extensive analysis of numbers and future projections.”
Despite fan outcry, CBS appears resolute in its decision, seemingly unmoved by petitions and social media campaigns pleading for a reversal of the cancellation.
