CBS’ Quirky Detective Shows Sympathy for Fellow Series
Nearly a month after *NCIS: Hawai’i* was canceled, fans and cast members are still reeling from the news. Despite good ratings and a devoted fanbase, CBS scrapped the show after three seasons, leaving viewers with an unresolved cliffhanger.
While fans rally to bring the series back, the cast has taken to social media to bid farewell. One notable post came from Jason Antoon, who played Ernie Malik. On Instagram, he shared a photo from the set, captioned: “That’s all folks! Mahalo for the good times! Ernie’s going back to his lair – you can find him there.” His post quickly drew responses from former co-stars. Vanessa Lachey (Jane Tennant) commented, “I Love You. And I will be down there in 15 mins with manapua and cougar juice!” Tori Anderson (FBI agent Kate Whistler) added, “Well this is just sad. Meet ya there dude!”
The heartfelt exchanges among the cast were touching for fans to see, but the post gained even more attention when Carrie Preston, star of another CBS show, *Elsbeth*, chimed in with a red heart emoji. Preston’s gesture showed solidarity between CBS shows, despite their different fates. While *NCIS: Hawai’i* faced cancellation, *Elsbeth* was renewed for a second season, with its season 1 finale set to air tonight on CBS.
This interaction highlighted the camaraderie among CBS actors and the ongoing support from fans, even as they deal with the disappointment of their favorite show’s abrupt end.
