Gina and Drew won’t be back for the 2022-23 television season. CBS has cancelled B Positive so it won’t see a third year. Fellow Thursday night sitcom United States of Al, also produced by Chuck Lorre, was cancelled last night.
A comedy series, the B Positive TV show stars Annaleigh Ashford, Thomas Middleditch, Kether Donohue, Sara Rue, Izzy G., Terrence Terrell, Linda Lavin, David Anthony Higgins, and Darryl Stephens with Hector Elizondo, Jane Seymour, Ben Vereen, Jim Beaver and Anna Maria Horsford recurring. The story begins with Drew (Middleditch), a therapist and newly divorced dad, who is in need of both a new kidney and a social life. He runs into Gina (Ashford), a rough-around-the-edges former high school acquaintance who volunteers one of her own kidneys. Together, Drew and Gina form an unlikely and life-affirming friendship. During the process, Gina discovers that the happiness she’d been seeking all along could be found in the form of giving. In season two, Drew starts his new life with Gina’s healthy new kidney. Meanwhile, Gina inherits a surprise fortune from a patient at Valley Hills, the assisted living facility where she works, and this leads her to make a big change in a positive direction.
The second season of B Positive averaged a 0.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.48 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season one, that’s down by 21% in the demo and down by 4% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Among CBS’ 21 scripted series of this season, it ranks 15th. In the live+7 day ratings, B Positive averages a 0.60 demo and 5.69 million.
The show ended its run in March, having produced a total of 34 episodes across two seasons. In the past 24 hours, CBS has also cancelled Good Sam, How We Roll, and Magnum PI.
What do you think? Have you watched the B Positive TV show on CBS? Are you sorry to hear that the network has cancelled this sitcom so there won’t be a third season?
Loved the show. Why is it any good clean comedy seems to get canceled.
Please bring B Positive back. I loved the show. We need more decent comedy shows. I don’t know what’s wrong with CBS cancelling funny shows and leaving the ridiculous shows on.
I loved B Positive. It was a really funny show with great actors. I do not understand why it was cancelled.
What’s wrong with CBS!!!!!!
Magnum PI Sad to see let go! Great casting, acting and scripts. The only good shows left really are SWAT and the very tired NCIS
I enjoyed B Positive very much. It saddens me to see it end, especially with no ending. It was funny and I Lived the characters. It covered a lot of real emotions!!!
I am so angry with CBS 4 of my shows have been cancelled Magnum,B Positive, US of Al and Bull. What is wrong with you people?
I thoroughly enjoyed both CBS shows, United States of AL and B-Positive. They were funny and cute shows. Clean and no horrible behavior or language. What a shame. More like shame on you CBS
Shame on CBS for canceling a great fun show. They also cancelled Good Sam and Magnum, guess I’ll have to start watching a different network.
Thank you for canceling
Great show and a super break from all the CSI etc.
It was an OK watch but they did stretch things out rather thinly in the end.
It was a nice show to relax and watch before bed. No violence, cute comedy.
This show was such a good comedy show, with good stars. The March finale left the plot unfinished, and we expected the show to return in the fall, rather than just a continued accumulation of crime dramas, like more FBI or NCIS episodes.
I absolutely loved this show. It’s a shame that a good funny sitcom gets cancelled and all the reality shows seem to not only stay put but grow in numbers. Shame on you CBS.
I totally agree.
We loved B Positive……so sad it wasn’t renewed. All the cast were great!
The cast members were terrific. Plus they were actors „we“ seniors watched as kids and they grew old with us. What a shame!
