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?
Very sad to see this one go. The characters were great and the show has some good story lines that could make for some really funny or heartfelt episodes. Please give it a chance with a second season. C’mon CBS!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW!! THEY WOULD BE DUMB IF THEY CANCELED IT. AT LEAST GIVE SHOWS A COUPLE OF SEASONS TO SEE HOW THEY DO
I absolutely love Broke and all the characters in the show. It is real and funny. The actors are perfect in their character roles; these roles were made for them! Please bring it back!!
Loved the show and characters, bummed
I love this show! It’s cute and quirky. The characters have grown on me. I am sad that it is cancelled. Hope they reconsider
They need to give Broke a second chance. It’s a very good show. It shows a lot of diversity ñ. Which’ is what we need to see more on tv shows. Please bring it back.
I just started getting into the show last week . Lord I hate when CBS and all the other stations cut something after ten shows. They need to give people a chance , I work for a living , sometimes I don’t watch TV for weeks then go Bing watch everything on all access . SMFH. Will be sorry to see broke go it was a good show.
So sorry to hear this show is coming to an end I thoroughly enjoyed the show I wish they would pick up another season
Give it a chance. It’s a very good show and just needs time.
They need to give this show a chance
I love Broke, i think Javier and Luis are a hoot! So sad to see it go.
I have seen every episode and I liked the show because Pauli is in the show, I love Pauli Purette she is my favorite actress, the show hasn’t been on very long, this isn’t fair! They didn’t give the show enough time to be on like for a year! It hasn’t even been a year yet?! I feel sorry for Pauli that she didn’t get a long enough work time to be on the show? NOW what is she going to do? She needs work to be able to keep herself alfloat just like the rest of us! I hope… Read more »
