Fans responding to Tweets about the cancellation of "NCIS: Los Angeles" are already formulating a plan to save their show and have established the #SaveNCISLA hashtag to coordinate their protest.
Some fans have practical questions and think the show would do well on streaming. "[C]an 'NCIS: LA' pull a 'Criminal Minds' and go to streaming only or something," wrote @elliqks, referring to the Paramount+ exclusive sequel series "Criminal Minds: Evolution." Other fans are just hoping that Hetty (Linda Hunt) will return for its last bow and that she won't be added to the show's death count. A number of fans also pointed to other members of the "NCIS" family as being more worthy cancellation victims than "NCIS: Los Angeles." "ALSO I'M SORRY BUT HOW IS THE OG STILL ON ITS OUTLIVED TO OF ITS SPINOFFS," said @nancyolivaswift, who also pointed out the show's enormous ratings for its crossover episode and requested a full final season on a streaming platform.
Many fans are simply just sad that they're losing their favorite show. "Horrible news. The last couple of seasons have been so good. I know shows can't go on forever but 'NCIS: LA' had some more length to it. Real bummer," wrote @GrimmyReapsTV.
Meanwhile, @fbi_zibell summed up the pain of hundreds of fans when they simply tweeted, "I'm in denial."
With any luck, CBS will cook up a finale that will richly reward the show's devoted followers.
