CBS has confirmed the cancellation of two of its scripted series: the freshman comedy "DMV" and the sophomore drama "Watson." Amy Reisenbach, speaking at a press event, explained that these decisions are part of a strategy to make room for new programming on the network's schedule. She acknowledged the quality of both shows but emphasized the competitive landscape on CBS.
"Watson," which explored medical mysteries through its lead character, Dr. John Watson, played by Morris Chestnut, will air its series finale on May 3. The show's cast and crew expressed gratitude for the experience. Meanwhile, the single-camera comedy "DMV," set in a notoriously frustrating Department of Motor Vehicles, will have its final episode on May 11.
