The peacock network doesn’t want quite as much of About a Boy. Deadline is reporting that NBC has trimmed the sitcom’s second season from 22 to 20 episodes.
About a Boy revolves around San Francisco songwriter Will Freeman (David Walton) who had a big hit. It set him up for life financially — and gave him a lot of freedom and free time. His world is turned upside down when a charming boy named Marcus (Benjamin Stockham) and single mom named Fiona (Minnie Driver) move in next door.
About a Boy has been really struggling this season and it seems very likely to be cancelled by spring. It’s currently averaging a 1.2 in the 18-49 demographic with 4.15 million viewers. That’s down 36-40% when compared to last year’s figures.
zWhat do you think? Do you like About a Boy? Why aren’t more people watching? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
My family puts on cappuccino and we enjoy a great family show together! We look forward to watching it.
Love this show please don’t cancel
Renewal please!
Please renew this show. We enjoyed this upbeat show. It was refreshing and had a message about caring for others.
We loved this show. It’s all about good relationships and practical advice on growing up (which includes adults and children).
Please bring it back.
Please renew! Our family considers it the hit of the night! We are so sick of dead bodies and investigations gone high tech! At least this is state of the art humor, has fresh story lines, and has well developed Characters. We await the 2015-16 season.
Finally we get a show on network tv that is not only funny but has a great message for young people growing up, and you want to cancel it! There is so much violence on almost every show on cable or network t.v. it’s so refreshing to watch something that makes you feel good. Please don’t cancel this show, I love it!
Renew the show. It is nice to finally have a family show that is also funny and not centered around drama.
Renew it please it’s a great show I have watched it for the day it came on
About a Boy is one of the funniest shows that is on TV right now. We need MORE good comedity shows and way way less violent crime shows. Even the cartoons for children are way to violent
I love this show. It’s funny & always has a nice message about life in it.
Renew! Love this show.
I concur. This is a charming show with clever dialogue. Any show that captures my husband’s attention has to be above normal.
I love this show About a Boy. Will be sad if cancelled.
Renew! This is a rare, charming show. Quirky humor and emotionally touching. Each episode a perfect limitless complete movie.
