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?

This would be a huge mistake. This is the best written comedy I have seen in years. You are also talking of canceling the Mentalist. I don’t get this network. You have buried the Mentalist on Sunday night and half the time football runs into it so naturally it doesn’t get viewed. You leave Bethany on for a season who is nothing but a better looking Roseanne or Rosie. Mike and Molly is horrible and you leave that on.
I would rethink these decisions.
PLEASE…don’t cancel another good show, there are so few left on the air! Give the people time to connect with the characters as they develop. This show is hilarious!
Noooo!!! Luv the show. Please don’t cancel.
OMG, The funniest show I have seen in a long time, do not cancel this showwww!
Friends with better lives is hilarious! My husband and I LOVE this show! please don’t cancel! Just needs some time to get people to catch on. We were unaware of this show until we stumbled across it. I think the problem with the ratings is because it is not advertised enough.
My husband and I love this show! I hope it gets picked up for a second season!!
I love this show please do not cancel it. This show is funny just give it a chance.
Watched this show once and found it hilarious! Would be interesting to see it develop further 🙂
Love the show, Friends with better lives! We don’t miss an episode. Quick wit & hilarious. Don’t cancel. We will follow to another network. CBS big mistake if they cancel.
Love this show!!!! Shiznit has the humor of FRIENDS, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER AND WILL & GRACE in one plus more.
NOOOO!!!!! BETTER THAN FRIENDS!!!! COME ON?!!!! REALLY???
This show is hilarious!!! It’s about time the good old sitcom became a staple of television like it used to be. Reality shows suck!!! Keep the show going until it gets enough followers!
If you recall, Friends did not do well in its first season!
