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?
Laughed hard and long, please bring it back!!!¡
So disappointed this is canceled. This show actually made my Husband and I laugh out loud. It is so true of a 30ish age group of friends too.
Bring it back! There are so many crappy reality shows on tv, who cares about tattoos, pawn shops and varying talents. We need more sitcoms AMF especially more like this one, it’s a great show
Please bring this show back!! I love it! I think it shows great promise. Its time to bring it back. Lets do it!!
I loved this show. It was in league with the best of 2013/2014sitcoms and was not given even a fair chance at finding an audience. As far as I’m concerned, forcing it to follow the tedious How I Met Your Mother was probably what harmed it – viewers had probably tuned out before it started. Now, after having watched the fall 2014 crop I’m at a COMPLETE loss as to why a show of this caliber was taken off to make way for such overwhelming drek!
This is literally the best show I’ve ever seen (since Friends of course.)
I really want another season!!!
This show is fantastic and needs to stay on the air. It’s a shame when reality tv and korny shows get the green light go to stay on. FWBL is funny and it allows different people to connect to different characters and it also gives you a good laugh- which mind you, is hard to find in most shows these days. I sincerely hope they find another network to air it on! I agree with the other posters as they have stated, “Under the Dome” is still on and cannot believe it-AGREED! I also agree, that comparing it to friends… Read more »
Love this show. Please don’t cancel it.
Friends With Better Lives is a light-hearted, funny series that I looked forward to watching! It should definitely stay on. I’m hoping for a season 2!!
Really.. we can keep crap reality shows on that people are sick of.. way too many stupid talent shows..and not give a good show a chance.. Comparing FWBL to Fiends is not sensible. Friends was great, but this show has a more mature twist. If you look back.. most great shows did not do well their first season.. but they gave them a try.. so let’s do it again.
THIS SHOW NEEDS A SECOND SEASON !!! ITS GREAT
THIS SHOW NEEDS A SEASON 2.
I Love this show, would be great for season 2. Please renew!!
I love this show!! Please change your mind!!! 🙁
This show is hilarious, please don’t cancel it. I can’t believe Under the Dome is still on as dumb as it is, but you will cancel a great show like this…smh
