During the summer months, networks understand that viewership is typically lower than usual. As such, it’s pretty rare for a summer series to be pulled prematurely. For this, and obvious reasons, Creature Comforts is a rare breed.
A version of Creature Comforts was first seen as a 1989 animated short film made in Britain. It featured a group of anmals talking about their life in the zoo. It became a TV series in 2003 in the U.K. A U.S. version debuted on June 4th on CBS and featured animal characters being voiced by everyday people. All of these versions were produced by Aardman Animations who are best known for the Wallace and Gromit films.
The claymation Creature Comforts series debuted to 6.3 million and slipped to 4.5 million the second week. Only 4.3 million watched the third episode and, as a result, CBS has pulled Creature Comforts. Repeats of The New Adventures of Old Christine will fill the Monday at 8pm timeslot for the immediate future.
It’s unknown if the four remaining unaired episodes will see the light of day. It’s possible that they may be made available on the CBS site where two episodes currently reside. 
This is a new concept in American television and it would take more than 3 episodes for people to catch on. Give it a chance!!!
It’s really funny. I’ve told several people I know to watch it, and when they did it wasn’t on. Put it back on TV. IT’s the only show you had on that is actually funny.
I have never posted anywhere before, but… what are you thinking, CBS? I never saw this show advertised, came across it by accident while flipping channels, and was instantly hooked. Told all my friends about it, and now they want to watch and it’s gone! Please reconsider! Fresh, funny, appropriate for the whole family. Everyone I know who watched this LOVED it. I have taped and rewatched all the episodes. You really need to give this one more time.
I can’t believe Creature Comforts was pulled for reruns of a very stupid sitom. Creature Comforts made me laugh so hard and it was a pleasure to see it. I put it on tivo so I could watch it again. Clever, smart, very funny and I’ve gotten others to join in watching it. CBS gets dumber and dumber as time goes by. How many CSI’s are there in the world???? Give us a break! Who makes these dumb decisions?? Perhaps WE should cancel CBS so that Creature Comforts could move to a more classy network, PBS or cable! Perhaps CBS… Read more »
I am very dissapointed that you have taken off Creature Comforts.It was very creative and different, please bring it back !!!!
CREATURE COMFORTS was a great show!!! It had wit, humor, substance, and great characters. There is alot of garbage on TV, and it remains on the air, yet a quality, inventive, unique show like CREATURE COMFORTS is pulled after only THREE weeks? The least that CBS can do is to show the rest of the episodes on TV, for the millions of us who DID watch every week. And then, I would love to have Season 3 on DVD to join my CREATURE COMFORTS Season 1 and 2 DVD’s. CREATURE COMFORTS wasnt a smash hit after three tries….big deal…it was… Read more »
This is just completely retarded. I am sick to death of networks pullings shows just because they don’t pull 8 billion viewers. Creature Comforts was the only show I watched on this network, now I won’t have to bother with your channel at all then. Thanks for helping me out with that.
I can’t believe they pulled it. They didn’t even give the show a fair chance. I loved the show. It is so funny, creative, and entertaining. I’m so tired of watching the same old stuff on TV. Is there anything we can do help out? I really want to see the rest of the series. PLEASE.
creature comforts really was something we could enjoy with all our cats. you could say it was the cats meow!
CBS makes it’s decision to pull “Creature Comforts” based on polling the voting public of Florida. And once again all of America pays the price!
Do what the Jericho fans did and shut down their inboxes with messages.
As the American executive producer of the show, I speak for the entire crew when I say we really appreciate all the support from you Creature Comforts fans. To let CBS know how you feel about pulling the show, and to help the chances of being able to see episodes 4-7, there’s an official CBS comment form at: http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.shtml
What happened to this Great Show? Just because you don’t get a zillion viewers in the first 3 weeks, you give up on the best new show of the summer?
How about giving us some time to get our friends watching. I sent out an e-mail on Monday, to about 20 friends, so they could see this great show, and what do I find at 8pm? That terrible rerun.
Thankfully, my friends didn’t call me with complaints.
But, here is my complaint to you.
CBS is so stupid to air the very very stale “Christine” in place of the fresh “Creature Comforts” – yet the networks wonder why they are losing viewers – b/c they keep showing SOS – Same Old S…tuff.
It was bad enough bringing in cheerleader Katie Couric to replace trustworthy and wise news anchor Bob Schieffer. Now CBS cancels the best show in years in favor of tired reruns of the crappy Christine???? I was so irritated at CBS Monday night that I am boycotting the network and many other viewers are doing the same. Shame on CBS for their very poor decision. I felt it refreshing to finally see a program that wasn’t as in-your-face vulgar as Christine…which has some sort of “boobs” or bedroom reference at least once every 60 seconds. While Creatures may have had… Read more »
I guess CBS figures the public needs a laugh track to let viewers know when to laugh at hackneyed jokes. Creature Comforts IS the funniest 30 minutes on TV. Whoever made the decision to pull the show should be fired. And may his next job last 3 weeks…
