Cancellation
The show was decided to end suddenly by the channel and on 27 October 2018, the last episode was aired.[37] [38] Rumours of the show getting cancelled was going rounds while the official statement by the channel stated the show will go off air for three months to give the producers enough time to reboot it. Further it was reported that "CID is not wrapping up. But it is going on a short break and that's only for a creative reason. The makers haven't received any closure letter from the channel that proves that they are still in contract with them. The break has been decided mutually by the makers and channel as they want to reboot the show."[39] But no announcement of it returning was made since then. Actor Dayanand Shetty who played Daya quoted that the show would not return after this break saying, "No, I don't think it's coming back. I doubt it's coming back. There can't be a break. It's just a convenient way of killing the show."

Reception
Critical response
Rediff.com gave the series 4.5 / 5 stars, and stated, "Much of the credit for CID's success should go to Singh, and its cast, especially Shivaji Satam who plays ACP Pradyuman". It stated, "Its actors, or at least the core of the cast who have been a part of the series since its inception are so popular they have become household names."[47] Rahul Hegde of Rediff giving the same ratings stated, "The crime detective series is still going strong".[48]
The Times of India stated, "CID which has constantly entertained its viewers with unique and challenging cases is also known for its different jokes in the world of internet."[49]
Kristina Das of India Today in a retrospective review in 2020, wrote, "The show had a cult following, even the non-viewers had shown interests. Except for logic, the show had everything, literally. The concept of the show was different, a tad bit too different, you may say. But at times, the makers dragged the episodes with unnecessarily lengthy dialogues when there was no content available."[50]
Ratings
Throughout its run, CID was one of the most viewed series on Indian television. The series had an average TRP rating of 2.5 to 3 for several years.

Impact and legacy
CID has gained cult status and following among the audience, owing to its episodes, cast, characters, comedy and story.[61] CID entered in both Guinness World Records and Limca Book of Records, for l shooting uncut for 111 minutes for the episode named "The Inheritance", in October 2004.[62] Singer Lata Mangeshkar admitted to being a fan of the series.[63]
Abhishek Raghunath of Forbes India noted: "Millions of Indians wait for CID to play out on their TV screens three nights a week on Sony. The characters—ACP Pradyuman, Sr. Inspectors Abhijeet and Daya, forensic expert Dr Salunkhe, and a host of others—have attained cult status. In an age obsessed with sex, the show is entirely devoid of it and there is no melodrama, a staple of successful Indian soaps since 1999."[64]
Rhea Candy from Film Companion stated the chemistry of the cast members and it being a family show, the main reason behind CIDs success. She added, "Today, the show incites mixed reactions. There is an acknowledgement of the institution it is; of the actors, directors and writers it has nurtured, and the efforts it has poured into churning out consistent entertainment. There are also unabashed memes inspired by the show's peculiarities."[65]
