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?
Yes I would have watched a second and more seasons of broke I loved it cause it had Pauley Perrette in it!!!! I’m so sad, they always take my favorite new shows off!!!!
yes would watch love paully perette
I loved the show, wish they gave it more of a chance
It wasn’t very good and the attempt to mix English and Spanish into the same comedy was sadly off putting.
I want to be able to watch comedies without having to be glued to the screen every second in order to follow it.
WHO DID NOT SEE THIS COMING???? this show is HORRIBLE, forced “jokes” BAD writing and casting / ACTING by ALL..i knew after READING the synapses of this show it would fail, then i watched 2 episodes….terrible in EVERY aspect, bye bye good riddance!
I’ve watched every episode hooping it would improve but it didn’t. Too cheesy.
Renew the freaking thing!
Freaking thing is right. This was so unfuuny.
The cast is strong. The screenplays are weak. The ‘comedy’ is hard work.
I just thought it was ok. Didn’t really like the show because it just was not funny. I would rather see Man with a plan or last man standing. Don’t care for Broke so won’t miss it. Right decision to cancel
This show is hilarious! Why not cancel evil instead and keep broke and carol
This show is hilarious! Why not get rid of Evil or the unicorn
I felt the opposite from Mark (below). I thought everyone EXCEPT Pauley Perrette was hysterical! I love Pauley but I just didn’t think the character was humorous. Bummer because I looked forward to this show since the previews.
It certainly doesn’t surprise me a bit that the show was canceled. It was a joke for the beginning and haven’t gotten any better. The only hope for the show was Pauley Perrette and she certainly didn’t do well performing in this 3rd rate comedy.
Come on guys, I do believe you can do SO MUCH better than this. This show was horrible.
No. It was too lame. I erased all the shows on the DVR. I wanted to like it because the little boy was from San Antonio.
