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 is gone from the Talk but (for now) still on Big Brother.

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.
