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’ve watched every episode and unfortunately, it’s total crap. Can’t believe it was even given the green light for production. I think it’s very comparable to Man With a Plan which I think is just as equally crap.
I think it stinks to high heaven that they canceled this show even before the 5th episode aired!!! They canceled God Friended me too which just makes me sick & sad. If it weren’t for The Good Fight and Bob hearts Aboshola ( a couple others) I’d ditch my CBS all Acess!!!
I’m not sorry or surprised that it was canceled. I might be being unfair as I only watched the first episode but I just found nothing about the show that made me want to keep watching. It may be just me, but I’ve never thought Pauley Perrette was a good actress….I always thought she was annoying on NCIS
It was bad. I couldn’t stomach a full episode. Lame humor, poor acting.
I LOVE this show! So funny! Every character made me laugh and every show was hysterical . . . Way funnier than a lot of shows on TV! Wish they’d reconsider.
Love it! Really unique cast! Too bad it was cancelled!
Love it! Cast very uniques. Too bad it was cancelled
I’m unhappy that the show Broke was cancelled Pauley was brilliant in it has she was in NCIS, CBS should renew it for another season forget about the ratings some people dum when it comes to seeing a great program, I give it a 10/10.

So sorry to see Broke end. Wholesome and funny show Perfect fit with the cast members. Sorry to see this show go. Please don’t cancel
I agree!
I really liked this sitcom, I’m sorry that is has ended. I will miss this on Thursday nights
Wasn’t sure I’d want to watch this…by the 2nd episode, I set up series recording so I wouldn’t miss it. I’m totally surprised it’s being cancelled. I loved the camaraderie between the characters. I will miss this show.
I loved BROKE. Please dont cancel it. It is fun and heartwarming.
I agree with Bernard. I didn’t think I’d enjoy Broke, this formula has been done. However I found myself often laughing out loud. I’ve been stuck in the house like countless others, so to make me laugh right now is a true blessing. Thanks
Jeez! Not my day. First Tommy gets cancelled and now Broke. I didn’t think I’d like it but really enjoyed cast. Condolences to cast and crew.
This was a good show so not surprised it is cancelled. Too clean and fun for networks.
