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?
Friends with Better Lives is absolutely hysterical-the 1/2 half flies by so fast we watch it live and don’teven bother to tivo it for later. There are a lot of shows that should be canceled—THIS is NOT one of them. Keep it. If CBS is so foolish as to cancel it, they have no sense of humor. It will be very popular given the chance.
Save this show!!! I think it has so much potentional!!! Finally another great relateable sitcom!
Can relate to this show’s characters in so many ways!!!! I HOPE it gets picked up by another network if CBS doesn’t renew.
