CBS isn’t putting more money into Broke. The network just announced that the new comedy had been cancelled so there wouldn’t be second season of the Thursday night TV show.
The Broke sitcom follows a single suburban mother named Jackie (Pauley Perrette) who’s struggling to make ends meet while raising her young son, Sammy (Antonio Raul Corbo). Their lives are turned upside down when Jackie’s estranged sister, Elizabeth (Natasha Leggero); her sister’s big-hearted, Latin husband, Javier (Jaime Camil); and Javier’s fiercely loyal assistant/driver/friend, Luis (Izzy Diaz), land on her doorstep.
So far, season one of Broke is averaging a 0.69 rating in the 18-49 demo and 5.55 million viewers, making it one of CBS‘ lowest-rated comedy series for the 2019-20 season. The show had a mediocre premiere and the numbers have dropped pretty consistently each week.
About the “limited series” #BROKE Many new episodes are airing. This show restored my faith in people, in this industry. SO GRATEFUL I worked with this cast & crew Best people I’ve EVER worked with. Healed me. Changed me. Made me whole. So Blessed. Made this for you yesterday: pic.twitter.com/eADjPJ6Vy7

What do you think? Have you seen Broke? Would you have watched season two of this CBS series?
I loved Broke!!! Very sad to see it end.
Very disappointed to hear that the comedy series Broke was canceled. It was a bright spot on CBS lineup . The characters were playfully integrated and lots of fun to watch. Please give it a second season.
Yes wish there was a season 2. I love that show
It was a very funny show. They should have given it more than one season to gain viewership.
I love BROKE… It is a cheerful program…love the family dynamics and especially the light heartedness and the Latino flavor!
Sad to see the show has been cancelled….With all the garbage on TV the network know it alls pull a funny show. Please reconsider and at least give the show a 2nd season.
