7 TV Shows We’re Saying Goodbye to in 2024

​Young Sheldon (CBS)

Series finale airdate: May 16

Jim Parsons, 51, and Mayim Bialik will reprise their roles as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler in the East Texas–set Big Bang Theory prequel, which is ending after seven seasons with a one-hour finale. But it won’t be the last you’ll see of the Cooper family: CBS recently green-lit a spin-off series that will follow Sheldon’s older brother Georgie (Montana Jordan) and much older wife Mandy McAllister (Emily Osment), who have become an even bigger part of the storyline as Young Sheldon wrapped up. Either way, expect some big emotions. When Variety asked Annie Potts, 71, who plays Connie “Meemaw” Tucker, how many tissues fans will need to get through the finale, she said, “A box of tissues … with a roll of paper towels from the kitchen.”

​So Help Me Todd (CBS)

Series finale airdate: May 16

This quirky legal dramedy stars Marcia Gay Harden, 64, as defense attorney Margaret Wright and Skylar Astin as her youngest son, Todd, who works as a private investigator and has a penchant for bending the rules to get answers. The show returned after the writer’s strike with a shortened, 10-episode sophomore season, but CBS decided to cancel it in April. Nonetheless, fans have rallied to its defense, with some even setting up change.org petitions that have together attracted nearly 40,000 signatures.

​Station 19 (ABC)

Series finale airdate: May 23

The second Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, after Private Practice, follows the women and men of the Seattle Fire Department’s Station 19. The main link between the two shows is Ben Warren (Jason George, 52), the husband of Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson, 54), who leaves his job as a surgeon to become a firefighter, and frequent crossover episodes saw the Station 19 crew and the doctors of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital working together to tackle high-intensity issues like bear attacks, gas main explosions and helicopter crashes. ABC canceled the series with enough time for a proper send-off, so fans won’t have to worry about an unsatisfying ending or annoying cliff-hangers.

​CSI: Vegas (CBS)

Series finale airdate: May 19

The CSI franchise has been a procedural juggernaut for the Eye Network since it debuted in 2000, and while the original flavor variety went off the air in 2015, it spawned a trio of spin-offs (Miami, NY and Cyber). In 2021, the network returned to Sin City for a revival of the first series, which included returning stars like William Petersen, 71, Jorja Fox, 55, and Marg Helgenberger, 65. While the reboot performed relatively strongly in the ratings, executives cited budgetary concerns as the main reason for the cancellation — plus the need to clear the schedule for high-profile newcomers like Matlock, starring Kathy Bates, 75.

​The Good Doctor (ABC)

Series finale airdate: May 21

Based on a South Korean medical drama of the same name, this series about an autistic surgical resident named Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) continued to break ground in its seventh and final season. Joining the show in its homestretch was Kayla Cromer, who has the distinction of being the first actress with autism spectrum disorder to play a main character with autism on American television (on Everything’s Gonna Be Okay). Other plots in Season 7 include — spoiler alert! — the shocking death of Dr. Asher Wolke (Noah Galvin) in an antisemitic and homophobic attack.
