CBS has made the significant decision to officially cancel the sitcom Poppa’s House along with the reality competition series The Summit, both of which premiered in 2024. This cancellation marks the end of their journeys after just one season, leaving fans with mixed feelings about the short-lived shows.

This sitcom stars the talented duo of Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr., with Damon Wayans also taking on the roles of creator and executive producer. The storyline revolves around a legendary talk radio host navigating the complexities of fatherhood and family life while his adult son strives to pursue his own passions.

Amidst the cancellation announcements, CBS is also introducing two brand-new shows: the workplace drama DMV and the gripping police procedural drama Einstein. The upcoming comedy series is set to feature a stellar cast including Harriett Dyer, Tim Meadows, Molly Kearney, and Alex Tarrant. Meanwhile, the crime drama promises to captivate audiences with performances from Criminal Minds alum Matthew Gray Gubler and Alita: Battle Angel star Rosa Salazar.
The official logline for DMV describes it as a single-camera comedy set in a place that many dread: the DMV. It revolves around a group of quirky and lovable characters working minimum wage jobs in an environment where customers are often frustrated even before they step through the door. Fortunately, these characters find camaraderie and support in each other amidst the challenges they face.
In the logline for Einstein, we meet a brilliant yet aimless character who is the great-grandson of the legendary Albert Einstein. This character spends his days as a tenured professor, living a comfortable life until his rebellious antics land him in legal trouble. Consequently, he is compelled to assist a local police detective in solving her most perplexing cases, which leads to a journey filled with twists and turns.
