As the “most watched” broadcast network, CBS holds its comedies to some pretty lofty standards where the Nielsen ratings are concerned. Last year, although Joel McHale’s The Great Indoors was the Tiffany Network’s sixth best rated scripted series in terms of its demo numbers (and 14th in terms of total viewership), it was cancelled after just one season. In the 2017-18 television season, their new comedies include Mark Feuerstein’s 9JKL TV show, as well as Me, Myself & I, and The Big Bang Theory prequel Young Sheldon. Who will have the last laugh? Will 9JKL be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A CBS scripted comedy, 9JKL stars Mark Feuerstein, David Walton, Elliott Gould, Linda Lavin, Liza Lapira, Matt Murray, and Albert Tsai. From creators Dana Klein and Feuerstein — a married couple — this sitcom is loosely inspired by the time they spent living next door to Feuerstein’s family. It centers on newly divorced actor, Josh Roberts (Feuerstein), who moves from Los Angeles, back to his hometown of New York City. The only problem is, his apartment is sandwiched between those of his parents, Harry and Judy (Gould and Lavin) on one side, and his brother and sister-in-law, Andrew and Eve (Waltong and Lapira), on the other. In addition to figuring out his next step, Josh also has to establish some ground rules for his family, then teach them how to abide by them. **Status update, below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Did you enjoy the 9JKL TV series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on CBS?
**4/20/2018 status update: The 9JKL TV show has been cancelled by CBS, so there will be no season two. Details here.
I like 9JKL and I hope it doesn’t get cancelled. I was a little put off by the pilot (just a bit too much over-the-top intense mother), but it grew on me. I think the writing is excellent — I love the way the stories unfold and wind around some very clever plot twists.
Annoying , me myself and I was great not 9jkl
This is a great show! Good, clean comedy. Hopefully, CBS will leave it off the chopping block and renew 9JKL for Season 2.
Love this show, you always take off the good shows and leave the crappy ones on. This is a funny with great characters and story lines .
Bring back 9JKL. It’s a good show!
Please keep this program on. It’s very cute & I love Linda Lavin & Elliot Gould together. We really enjoy a clean cut sitcom to enjoy after dinner. It’s in the same category as “Everybody Loves Raymond” w grown kids.
Thanks!

PLEASE do not cancel this show! With all the violent and sexually driven shows available everywhere… it’s so refreshing to have a family friendly and well acted sit-com that my husband and I can sit back, laugh and relate to as kids and parents! The whole cast is great… but Linda Lavin and Elliott Gould are hilarious!!! Not to mention… legends in the industry.
I like the show a lot! Renew 9JKL!
