^ No, that's the
other show JJ Abrams is executive producing for next year, which also has loose police procedural elements. Person of Interest will be on CBS.

When exactly did Wyman and the other guy get control of the show? I'm kinda curious.
"Ability" was the last episode that had Orci and Kurtzman as executive producers. Then they became consulting producers, whatever that means. I don't think either of their names have ever been mentioned by anyone related to the show since.
Pinkner was onboard from episode 2 as an EP. Wyman came on as a co-EP on "Unleashed" at the very end of the S1, then was promoted to EP for S2.
Really, the first half of S1 is them struggling within the lame confines set up by the pilot (Olivia is a cold and dull FBI agent, her seeing the dead partner who may or may not have been a traitor, Peter has a mysterious past full of enemies, etc). Most of that crap was laid to rest by the time Orci and Kurtzman formally left, things really picked up at the very end of the season when a bunch of new creative forces came on. Wyman joined up, Akiva Goldsman decided to do some good genre work, and director Brad Anderson was briefly a producer and I think helped cement the show's aesthetic strengths.
