CBS Cancels One Of Its Longest-Running Crime Franchises & Well-Performing Legal Comedy

One of CBS’ longest-running crime franchises has come to an end again as CSI: Vegas has been cancelled along with So Help Me Todd.

Deadline has brought word that CBS is trimming down its roster of titles as it has cancelled both CSI: Vegas and So Help Me Todd. In regard to the crime show, the news comes as somewhat of a surprise given it’s part of one of the network’s longest-running franchises and was seeing improvements in its season 3 ratings. The legal dramedy was similarly seen as a solid performer for CBS, though with the network having a number of new shows in the works, both being on the bubble led to their axing.
