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?
This show is the best thing since the airing of Two and a Half Men. Funniest show cant stop laughing. Give it a chance.
Save it or lose me!
Do not cancel it…save #FWBL
Save FWBL!!!!! I love this show. Record it and watch it multiple times.
Best sitcom in a very long time. Please save it!! We look so forward to it every week.
Love this show! Will follow it anywhere. My husband and I look forward to it every week! Save this show!!
I would follow this series ANYWHERE! Hell, I’d even pay for a Netflix subscription if they bought out FWBL.
Don’t cancel it’s a great show
We love fwbl it is hilarious and makes me cry from laughing so much. It would be a sad thing to see the show go away.
Funniest new show this year. Please save this show.
Save this show!!!!!!! Its so funy! WTF!!!?!??!
A spring premiere series never gets the ratings as well as a fall premiering show. That being said, FWBL has been overlooked by CBS execs that will surely be sorry if this show gets shopped to another network. Funniest new show on TV.
Save fwbl!
What????? This is seriously the best show on t.v. right now, this doesn’t make sense. What is even more confusing, the Mentalist with that weird looking arrogant guy gets renewed?? I have told all my friend to start watching Friends with Better Lives…I guess I will tell them to start watching the Mindy Project or New Girl as those are a lose second to FWBL.
Funniest show in forever! CANNOT believe they have cancelled it. Let me guess, they will replace it with another NCIS. Ridiculous.
