It's a busy day at CBS. Just hours after the network ordered CIA to series, they've made a decision on one of two remaining scripted series at the network. Poppa's House, starring Damon Wayans Sr. and Jr., has been canceled after a single season on the network, its eighteen-episode first season set to end next Monday. It's the first comedy cancellation of the series, with the other three comedies being renewed for next season. The series averaged 0.33 in its only season, slightly above the league average but easily the lowest-rated sitcom on CBS. That is higher than several other renewed series on the network, and put it towards the middle of the pack, but the shows was among the lowest-rated on CBS in L+7 and multiplatform metrics. That Monday at 8 hour will soon look quite different on CBS, with Poppa's House canceled this season and The Neighborhood set to wrap next season. This is a correct prediction by The TV Ratings Guide, and it leaves The Equalizer as the only CBS scripted show awaiting its fate.
In addition to the cancellation of Poppa's House, CBS has also canceled freshman reality series The Summit. The Summit was the lowest-rated fall series on CBS this year, with a poor 0.24 average despite a post-NFL preview and having the network's highest-rated series, Survivor, as its lead-in. This is also a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
