Yesterday, CBS cancelled Friends with Better Lives after just five episodes. That’s a pretty quick decision. The studio thinks it’s too quick.
Friends with Better Lives revolves around six young people who are at various stages of their lives — married, divorced, newly engaged, and single. Each wonders if the others have it better. The cast includes Majandra Delfino, Kevin Connolly, Brooklyn Decker, Rick Donald, Zoe Lister-Jones, and James Van Der Beek.
The sitcom premiered to positive numbers (following the series finale of How I Met Your Mother) but the ratings have fallen quite a bit in subsequent weeks.
The numbers were too low for CBS but 20th Century Fox Television, the studio that produces the show, has decided to try shopping the series elsewhere.
CBS will presumably air the rest of the original 13 episodes so it seems like this would be a very tough sell. Still, you never know. If the studio is motivated enough to make a deal, we may see a second season of Friends with Better Lives yet.
What do you think? Would you like to see a second season of Friends with Better Lives? Would you follow the series to cable or some other outlet?
My husband and I love this show!!!! Please don’t cancel it.
My husband and I love this show. It has the potential to be this decade’s Friends. CBS is definitely making a mistake with canceling this show. I hope another network picks it up and airs it in the same time slot. It will catch on and be huge. I have never been wrong in predicting a show’s success yet and I know if this was given time it could be a hit show.
Please don’t cancel this show it is so funny and I just love it!
#FWBL is one of the funniest comedies on TV! The chemistry of the actors is fantastic and the writing is spot on for any group of adult friends!!!! Please DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!!!!
It is actually a well written show, such a nice change from these braindead reality Shows. Networks have no imagination any more.
CBS needs to keep this show. My wife and I love it.
I was shocked to hear this
Show was cancelled. This is one of the funniest shows i have watched in years. Please
Let another network pick it up!!!
Never laughed so hard at a TV show. I hope another network picks it up.
Just when it is starting to get really funny! They always cancel the good ones.
I don’t even know how you can even consider cancelling FWBL. This show is hysterical and the cast seems to have great chemistry. PLEASE reconsider!!!
please don’t cancel, this show is the best comedy I’ve seen in a long time !!
I’m sorry but I did not like this show at all.. I think it should definitely be canceled to make room for a show that is watching. I would hope it would not be on another network channel.
One of the best shows on. Give it a chance. Try it in a different time slot. Don’t cancel it deserves another chance.
Love this show! Really hope it gets picked up by another network. Please don’t cancel it!
The show is great I never laugh so hard. DONT CANCEL!!!!!!!!
