   On May 10, 2019, it was announced that the series would not have a fifth season, after only five episodes of the fourth season had aired. CBS cancelled it but would broadcast the final nine episodes. The series drew high ratings in its second season, airing right after The Big Bang Theory (2007), but ratings fell in the third season and did not recover in the early part of the fourth season. Many believed this was due to the way CBS scheduled the show. The series first aired in September during its first season and continued to be pushed later in the year in subsequent seasons. In its fourth season, it did not premiere until April, nearly a year after the third season ended.
