CBS have cut back the season order for ‘Numb3rs’ from 22 to 16 episodes.

Rob Morrow stars in CBS' 'Numb3rs'.
As television ratings for ‘Numb3rs’ take a stumble, CBS have decided to cut back the number of episodes set to be produced this season from 22 down to 16.
The crime procedural, now in it’s sixth year, has struggled to maintain its audience share this season, with the series averaging a 1.7 rating/6 share among adults 18-49 and 7.9 million viewers overall — down from the seasonal average of 10.3 million viewers overall.
CBS declined to comment on whether or not this would be the final season of ‘Num3rs’, however with the series already having reached its syndication run of 100 episodes, its believed the network and studio are unlikely continuing to keep such a high cost drama in production.
