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 couldn’t believe it was canceled! It was the perfect end for a Monday, I mean who looks forward to Mondays…. Not one one NOW! When and what channel will are the rest of the episodes be airing?
CBS HOW COULD YOU! Bring back my show it is a great followup to HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.
Loved the show – please don’t cancel or somebody else pick it up.
I was excited about this show especially when it was hyped up after how I met your mother. I thought the plot was great, I’m sad it was quickly canceled. Bring it back.

This is such a fantastic show! You didn’t give it a chance and with a little bit of time, more than 5 episodes, I am positive it could be the next “how I met your mother”!
