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?
Good show but miss Abbie’s personality. Love Pauley though and sorry this show didn’t make it.
The show broke started off slow but it a great show
A miss.Too similar to NBC’s Indebted which is also a loser
I like this show and people probably don’t even know it’s on I’ve never seen advertisements for it I just happened to find it by accident see you next week because I follow Pauley Perrette I think you should advertise it more and give it a chance
Boring from the minute the kid did a voiceover. The brother in law and sister were horrible actors.
I didn’t even last the first episode and I like Pauley Perrette…
Good by Broke
No I wouldn’t have viewed season 2. I don’t like sub-titles on English TV. Also, the premise is absurd.
This show hasnt been given a chance. Every episode gets better. There are dozens of stories with these characters. Please don’t cancel. Give it a chance. You don’t even advertise it as well as you could. Its great seeing a multi cultural family
Thank you CBS for cancelling this show because it sucked and wasn’t well written and not really comedy! Not very good characters and these guys better have a future making money or they’re definitely getting broke when this show ends and they’ll regret it how they did stupid acting when they die on cancellation finale!
It was a great show. My wife and I watched it every week. I don’t think you gave it a chance to gain viewership.
I thought it was funny and it should be given a second chance, do not like the Unicorn show
Great show. Should be renewed.
Likeable show. It has toughing moments. I enjoyed it and would have liked it to see it return for a second season. Cancel the Unicorn. Nothing likeable about that show.
Good. Show sucked. Actresses was really good just had a very bad show to work with
Good. Terrible show. She is a very good actress but show was really bad.
