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?
Totally bummed! Please bring this show back. It was a fun friends show.
Very disappointed this show was canceled!!!!
I loved the show and was encouraging my friends to tune in. I think American Idol (that aired at the same time) hurt the ratings. I loved the show, please bring it back!!!!
I loved this show! Can’t believe it was cancelled. Best sitcom in a long time!
I am SO bummed this show got canceled!!! This was a great show. I really think this show would have caught on if they’d allowed it a little more time or different night. Seinfld was a slow starter, and look where it ended up.
Funniest show in a LONG time! Bring it back!
Disappointed. It seemed to be getting its legs underneath it as the season went on. Solid cast should have been given another season.
I totally agree.
this show was so funny it made me cry – what a shame!
Just heard it was cancelled. My wife and thought this show was riot. It always the way, you find a show that’s entertaining and they cancel it. Bring it back CBS!
Absolutely agree… Love love love this show.. Such a shame.. The cast onscreen chemistry is amazing.. Funny, relatable, and a great cast… Bring it back!!!
I did like the show, disappointed it didn’t get renewed!!
Really good show. Bummed! It was actually refreshing to watch this.
Great show, great cast, a shame that they (CBS) couldn’t give it just a little more time to catch on. If I recall Seinfeld took a couple of seasons to catch on, imagine what we would have missed had NBC yanked that after season one!!
Love, love, love this show. Couldn’t stop laughing!
We really enjoyed this show. Very disappointed in its cancellation. I did have trouble finding it as I don’t pay much attention to schedules.
CBS canceled friends with better lives? What the hell is wrong with these people?
