The axe came down on some of CBS' most plugged shows this week as Hostages and The Crazy Ones joined 22 other shows from five different networks which have been cut over the past few days.
It's culling season in the US which is bad news for Robin William's and Sarah Michelle Gellar's The Crazy Ones, which was thought to be in the line for another season.
Toni Collette's thriller Hostages has also been cut along with Intelligence, despite both shows scoring well in ratings.

It was good news though for The Mentalist which has been struggling with declining ratings lately. Despite worries over viewership the long-running crime drama will be returning for a seventh season, it was confirmed on Saturday.
Meanwhile comedies Bad Teacher and Friends with Better Lives have been cut, not that CBS is turning its back on comedy. The network has already ordered a number of new series including The Odd Couple, set to star Matthew Perry.
Surprisingly though, the much-buzzed about spin-off of How I Met Your Mother has not been picked up by the network, yet.
Further cancellations are due to be announced within the next week.
