TV show description:
This romantic comedy revolves around six friends who are at different stages in their lives. They’re married, divorced, newly engaged, and single. The friends are outwardly happy, but secretly questioning if their friends have it better.
Andi (Majandra Delfino) and Bobby Lutz (Kevin Connolly) are happily married with a toddler and another baby on the way, but at times long for the days when they had less responsibility and more fun.
Jules Talley (Brooklyn Decker) and Lowell Peddit (Rick Donald) are high on their passionate new relationship and are engaged. Kate McLean (Zoe Lister-Jones) has a successful career but may have a breakdown when she finds out her last remaining single friend, Jules, just got engaged.
Meanwhile, Will Stokes (James Van Der Beek) is newly single and preaching the bachelor lifestyle — but is still pining for his ex-wife.
Episode #13 — The Imposters
Bobby’s gift idea for Andi doesn’t resonate with the friends, so Kate intervenes. Unaware that Val rented out their old house, Will makes an unannounced visit, only to get trapped inside.
First aired: (Not aired during original series run.)
What do you think? Do you like the Friends with Better Lives TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This is a show I thought for sure would make it. I have laughed at every episode. Please do not cancel it is just as good as Friends and How I Met your Mother.
Please keep this show on the air! It truly is the best comedy on television. It’s the first sit com with a cast that really works well together.
This is one of the BEST shows that I have seen in a long time. It is as good as “Friends” and the old “Two and a Half Men” that we all loved to watch every week… I am sad to see it go!!! Hope this is just a mistake and it will stay!!!

This is my favorite comedy show!!!! I agree, it’s definitely a very BAD Judgement call on cancelling this show! WHY???? If I have a vote, I definitely do want a second season, and a third, and a fourth, etc… Hands down, by far the funniest! If you have to, please Cancel anything else, NOT this show! At least give it more of a chance! PLEASE!… Read more »
So disappointed! Great show and characters! Rethink this one please!!!!
I have read numerous comments on this site. (Over25) and all but one favorable. I don’t know if anyone in power even reads these. They should bring this back when one of the **** shows fail
LOVED this show. What a shame. Just about the only CBS comedy I enjoy. My husband is going to be very disappointed.
I have no idea what the actual criteria would be for a network to cancel a show but they need to rethink it! FWBL is such a great show. Great writing and a fantastic cast. I can’t believe they’re cancelling it already. Everyone I know is watching it and loves it. Come on CBS! Keep this one.
ENJOYED this show…would like to have seen another season
This is absolute crap! This show is one of the funniest shows on air!! We laugh our heads off every time we DVR it. How is “Two Broke Girls” still on, with it’s Terrible acting, and this show is being cancelled? CBS, please pull your head out your you know what. I hope you get a million complaints! But yet, there are 500 reality shows about idiots…? People need to laugh and this show does that. Please don’t cancel it. Thanks!
CBS is making a bone-head move by canceling FWBL. Hawaii 5-0, the good wife and elementary stay on the air and FWBL gets cancelled? At least FX is making smart decisions.
Great show. Don’t cancel it !
seriously cancelling? bad judgement call on this!! its a great show with great actors and who ever writes is great at their job very funny and normal ppl can relate to the story plots… very disappointing that it being cancelled.. that’s the only reason why i even changed the channel to cbs!
This is a great show, why cancel it?
