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?
Yes, save this show !!!
Keep it!! Best show since HIMYM!!
Please keep FWBL. . Get rid of 2 broke girls and mike n molly. There terrible.
Sell it to Netflix, it’s a great show screw the networks!
This show is one of the best shows on tv. The entire cast is terrific. CBS NEEDS TO GIVE THE SHOW A CHANCE. I hope another network picks up the show if it is canceled.
YES. Don’t cancel it!
What are they thinking, this show is hilarious! Great ensemble cast who all hit their marks perfectly. Best role JVB has had since DC. Do these networks even ask the viewers before doing these things? Maybe it was just at a bad timeslot if it had low numbers.
I TOTALLY LOVE THIS SHOW PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT!!!!
Do not cancel FWBL. It is funny. I really like it and would hate to see it cancelled.
I think it is hilarious and way too soon to cancel. Much funnier than some shows CBS currently has on.
I would follow it I love it
I LOVE this show!! I will be very upset if they cancel it. It is hilarious!
We LOVE this show and would LOVE to see it picked up by another network. It is hysterical and needs better promoting to get a stronger following.
Don’t Cancel!!! It’s so accurate and hilarious!
A fresh Laugh out loud comedy, DO NOT CANCEL. Someone would be smart to pick it up
I would TOTALLY watch this show if it was renewed on another network! James Van Der Beek is hilarious!!!!
