I think he will be, we've see others like him go down like Alies, Rose, Lauer, Spacey, among others.

Can't say I'm sorry. He's cancelled several shows I thought deserved better.

Scorpion being one of them (well at least for me especially they should have gotten at least another season or not end the way it did).

I can't see that she would be fired from Big Brother and I think the ratings for The Talk are good. I figure now that she will have to survive on ratings instead of for being Mrs. Moonves.

Julie Chen, Moonves' wife, quit The Talk over this citing a need to stay home.

Scorpion had higher ratings than some of the shows they kept. Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five-0 had the SAME ratings and were renewed, as were three more with worse ratings, NCIS Los Angeles, Madam Secretary and Elementary (which i like, but Scorpion's ratings were significantly higher).

Moonves is on record as saying that he's not a fan of sci-fi , and Scorpion appealed to fans of the genre.

He had a very strong liken to crime dramas. I like NCIS Los Angeles (I'm guessing it's the show's last season though I could be wrong). Only Madam Secretary is the only show you listed that wasn't a crime drama. You have Criminal Minds, Two more NCIS shows, Instinct (aka Castle clone), SWAT, Magnum PI, and FBI.
