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?
I liked the show, I hope they bring it back and cancel Two Broke Girls.
I am so upset! We LOVE this show! It was so funny I loved every episode! What’s wrong with you CBS? Reconsider! It was our new favourite show!
What’s the matter with these people, give the show a chance to catch on. It was absolutely histerical! I can’t beleive this, it was our favorite new show! You suck CBS, I’m boycotting your garbage network
My husband and I really love this show. It’s so funny and we have laughed at every episode. Please reconsider putting “Friends with Better Lives” back on. That is the only funny show on Mondays!
I liked that show, it was one of my favorites.
I liked the show. It didn’t even get a chance. They canceled it too soon1
It’s a shame that CBS didn’t give this show a chance to find it’s audience. It is a funny show that has a great chemistry on screen with the cast. I find it hard to see how any new show gets a chance when people are not wanting to invest the time, when it will probably be cancelled.
This show is just great. I was so looking forward to the upcoming episodes and then I heard it was cancelled… So disappointing. It became one of my favorites shows…
Belgium loves it.
Hysterical show, I can’t understand why networks always cancel the funny show. The cast had great chemistry together. They really need Lto bring back Friends with Better Lives!
CBS.. I am really disappointed in you decision to cancel FWBL. This show is extremely funny, edgy, (the whole ****** conversation was hysterical). The guys are great. The chemistry between the cast members was instant. I bet Seinfeld was glad they weren’t on CBS because there wouldn’t have been a season 2. OUCH! Seinfeld was dead last in Nielsen Ratings but NBC knew they had something and it seemed to work out okay in the long run for that show. DIDN’T IT? Hope the network is smart enough to reconsider or maybe NBC, who is dying for comedy, on their… Read more »
Great cast and very funny.Can’t believe they cancelled it.Hope somebody brings it back.
Save friends with better lives
Great show. Needs to be brought back for sure.
Disappointed to see it go, have not laughed this hard in a while other than Mike and Molly and Big Bang there is not really any shows to compare this one to, well casted, well written the entire package can’t believe that the network is too blind to let this little treasure off their hands, hope they come to their senses and bring it back for a second season.
Please reconsider “Friends with Better Lives”. This was my new favorite show. The writing is great and I love all the characters. The show needs to be put back on the air.
I heard that another network bought the show…anybody has more info.
I don’t know why this sow was cancelled. It was very funny!
