Fans found the announcement bittersweet. Some were sad to see their favorite show end, but in the same breath, they were pleased that they still had one more season to hold on to.

Deadline reported that the series would finish with 325 episodes. It will be among the Top 20 shows of all time according to the number of episodes it has had.

Amy Reisenbach, CBS’ EVP for current programs said:

“It is the quintessential CBS hit. We are so proud to have aired it. It speaks to everything we do best, which is air quality television. It’s been successful not only on air but online, in syndication, internationally for ABC (Studios).”

The cancelation of the show occurred due to series' ratings which have been on a downward slope. Season 15 will only feature 10 episodes.

Some fans hope that some old characters will be brought back for the last season.
