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?
The show is awesome!! Funny!! Give it a chance. It is so real and deserves to be saved!
This is a HUGE mistake to cancel this show. I have never laughed so hard since FRIENDS. They have great chemistry and DESERVE another season. SAVE FWBL
I was skeptical when first seeing the promos, but I really like this show! I can’t believe they cancelled it so quickly! Bad, CBS, bad!!
Other networks, please pick this show up! It’s very cute and funny and the cast is excellent!
Please save! So many new shows have sucked in the last few years and this is a GOOD one, please keep it alive.
friends with better life’s .. Love this show . I hope to see it again .. Save the show
Yes I would follow this show it’s actually funny
Omg please bring back fwbl it is hysterical and probably one of the better shows I have seen. I think it has a bad time slot and the mid season start up should let them have a second season. I have never laughed so hard. Nbc needs a good comedy and they should def pick it up.
Save the show it is way too funny to cancel. I will follow the show where ever it goes!!!!!!!
Best show since Friends! … So many laugh out loud, want to pee my pants moments! Please save!!!! Love it!
This show and its cast is great! Loving it. Especially Zoe Lister-Jones – hilariously snarky!
Best show in a long time!! SAVE IT! I’ll follow it to any network!
You need to leave this program on give it a chance I thought it was so funny. Hope CBS changes it’s mind.
