CBS is approaching the end of a television season, so you know what it means: It’s time to cancel “Swat”!
The network that houses the very successful “NCIS” franchise, many tentaceae, has never been able to obtain the restart of Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and Shawn Ryan from the 1975 ABC television series to reach the procedural Sweet Spot with consumer audiences who love this genre, whatever the formula. “Swat” stabilized the notes when CBS moved it to Friday for good during season 6, but it was then that the network began to observe its annual tradition of canceling the show.
“Swat” has his fans, many of whom connect just to see Shemar Moore as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson Jr., who, as a police officer, fought to maintain a relatively harmonious relationship with the Los Angeles community which he has managed to protect. Critics have never embraced “swat” as they did Ryan’s “The Shield” (with which he shares a universe), which injured the chances of the program to renew itself. However, it is a very visible and well -known brand that is older than many flourishing franchises in waves. So why does he continue to be canceled and, above all, will this execution stick?
Swat has lost viewers and has become too expensive for CBS to renew
The major problem with “Swat” at CBS is that its license fees must continue to be renegotiated at the end of each season. Over the past two years, Sony Pictures TV has managed to conclude an agreement that has made CBS viable to keep the show in waves as a solid notes interpreter on Friday evening. This time, however, looking at a precipitated drop in viewers, CBS decided that it was not worth coming to the table. According to the deadlineThere were no renewal conferences this time, which is a fairly strong sign that the network will move on.
The “Swat” showrunner and executive producer Andrew Dettman published the following desire declaration:
“This is heartbreaking news, mainly because it was an immense pleasure in working with this distribution and this team to publish a show of which we have always been proud. They are really an extraordinary group of people who have all worked so hard and who were so dedicated to all these eight seasons, on countless challenges. I cannot give them enough credit.
He would probably not reflect CBS to give in for the third consecutive season on a cancellation, so fans of “Swat” should consider Become fans “Blue Bloods”Like Donnie Wahlberg’s spin-off “Boston Bloods” is one of the procedures that will take its place. In the meantime, they should be grateful that this “swat” iteration lasted seven seasons more than the original, which has only persisted in the pop cultural conscience due to his bop with a theme song.
