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?
Please save this show! We love it! It’s super funny, the characters are awesome and it deserves time to catch an audience!!!! I personally wouldn’t change a thing as far as writing goes, maybe a better lead in show to give it a chance to be seen more??? Please don’t give up on it!!!
Save this show!!!!!
I love this show! It is hillarious! CBS needs to reconsider. I never watched that station until this show came on.
This is tge funniest show I have ever seen! I love it…will be so sad if it really goes!!
My girlfriend and I love this show. Only getting funnier as the episodes go along. Someone has to give this show a chance. It only gets funnier as the episodes go along. People think it’s too sexually crude. Sorry everyone is not as up tight as they are. The show has too good a cast and so many open avenues to explore. I need a good sitcom to literally lol about. No more talentless and uncreative ‘reality’ shows.
I love love love this show, one of the funniest new shows there has never been an episode that I wasn’t laughing my butt off, please keep this show.
This show is by far the funniest show I have seen in a very long time. I laugh out loud during every episode!
It needs to stay!!!! Great sitcoms are so hard to find and this one is a keeper!! I recommend it to all of my friends.
Give it a chance to succeed!!
I love this show. I think was the funniest new show of the season. I would watch it anywhere it lands!!!!!!!! Please save this show!
I think the show is great. Give it time. People need a minute to love it!
OMG someone please save this show! Between this and “Surviving Jack” being cancelled, I’m really bummed out…. what gives???
Save this! It is one of the best new comedies to come out in ages. Van Der Beek is freaking funny…who knew Dawson had it in him. Seriously…I laugh out loud throughout the entire show each week. It’s only getting funnier as we get to know the characters, watch the actors’ chemistry strengthen, and have the writers continue to turn out hilarious episodes.
Try “Don’t Trust the ***** in Apartment 23.” He’s amazing in it.
I love the show pease save it!
My husband and I really like this show. It is different, funny and somehow a little irreverent. We want to be able to watch it.
This show is hilarious. I really hope it stays on. So many crappy shows that stay on for years.
Love this show! SO annoyed with networks now that they don’t give shows a chance to build an audience anymore. I don’t like to start any new shows anymore since they just get yanked after a few eps.
