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?
I love this show. It’s funny and fresh. I know that things will change when we have 2 married couples, but that can be a year off. I love the cast, the interplay between Zoe and James is great, Kevin is always funny and Rick is great as the newcomer to the group. I’ve been saying it would be a shame for this series to be cancelled.
Friends With Better Lives is the best sitcom to come along in yrs. I love the adult humor. CBS needs to give this one a chance or at least a second season. Come on, adults with kids need a good laugh too. Love this show !!!!!
I love the show. It still hasn’t quite found its groove, like a lot of good sitcoms that turn out to be great in their second or third seasons. I hope it gets a chance to really get its voice. Recent episodes have gotten consistently better as the writers and actors get to know the characters.

Please don’t cancel, I love this show, move it to Fox or NBC…I don’t care where but don’t cancel!
Best new show in a long time, better than watching some lame so called celeb’s boring life drama. Super funny, edgy adult humor, reminds me of my group of friends telling it like it is.
Love this show. Needs to stay.
Don’t cancelle love it really funny!!!! Great cast 🙂
This is one of the few shows I watch. Funny, witty, and great interplay between characters.
Don’t cancel!!!! it’s fricken hilarious. We love this show
The best comedy since Friends…canceling would be a shame.
Please don’t cancel “Friends with Better Lives”. It is probably one of the best shows I have seen on TV recently.
Noooo, don’t cancel this show! It’s hilarious, I love it!
It figures they would cancel a good, funny, fresh and edgy show. They have to make room for s**t TV some where!
I am not pleased!!!
there’s not much more to be said and when everyone else is saying please do not cancel this show
