After two seasons on the air, CBS has pulled the plug on their Wednesday night sitcom, Gary Unmarried. The TV show won’t be back in the fall for season three.
Gary Unmarried revolves around a newly-divorced house-painter and dad, Gary Brooks (Jay Mohr), who’s readjusting to the single life. Others in the cast include Paula Marshall, Ryan Malgarini, Kathryn Newton, Keegan-Michael Key, and Brooke D’Orsay.
The sitcom debuted in September of 2008 to a mediocre 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.84 million viewers. The first season’s 20 episodes ended up averaging a 2.2 in the demo and 7.06 million viewers.
Those numbers put Gary Unmarried on the bubble for renewal. It ultimately escaped cancellation, likely because CBS co-produces the sitcom and decided to keep trying to make the Wednesday night comedy block work.
This season, the show’s ratings didn’t improve, averaging a 2.2 in the demo and 6.8 million viewers.
That wasn’t good enough to earn a renewal this time around and CBS has cancelled the series after 37 episodes. The network has also canned The New Adventures of Old Christine and Accidentally on Purpose.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Gary Unmarried’s been cancelled, that there won’t be a third season?

Ive been wondering why Gary Unmarried and Christine werent on this year – CANCELLED?! Thats BS – those were 2 great “real life” shows. What a disappointment. Shame on you CBS!
Are you kidding me??? Gary UnMarried was an awesome show. Moore is so funny. Maybe he should replace Charlie Sheen on two and a half men. What do you think? Everything about the show was great…all of the characters. His wife, his brother from the service, his kids, HIS BOSS! I mean it was THE BOMB! Is there anything in the works for Jay Moore? You talking about talent just wasting away…

Have a great day!
This is a great show. they really really should keep shooting. Very funny, everyone is good:)
I apologize for taking so long but I was really hoping that the network would wake up and realize this show ROCKED. Hell, 2 and a half men is now gone, which is fine by me, but yet this was a fun type of family show.
why would they cancel this show? tuesday and wed tv sucks, no good comdeys on!!!! really need to put this show back on!!!!
Please put Gary unmarried back on!!! The series is also popular in Norway!!!! What can we do as fans to get Gary back on?
Very stupid decision, one of the few TV series I ever watched.
It’s sad to know that the show got cancelled.. Just when you see a good sitcom to love, CBS cancels it. It’s kinda crazy you know, people in CBS only cares about making money.. Shows like Gary Unmarried should be aired on another network unlike Money Making CBS… Disappointing..
This show has made me both laugh and cry. I can’t believe it has been cancelled. Please, oh please please please put this show back on. I haven’t missed one episode and it’s breaking my heart that I would never know who Gary would choose.
A funny show come to an end!!It’s my first sitcom and it brings lots of joys to me.I watched the series finale the day before yesterday but I heard such a terrible official news until today(though it was released last year)…..
What I want to say is SUCKS!!CBS should evaluate the feasibility on filming Gary Unmarried S3 again.
(BTW,I’m a viewers from Taiwan)
Please please continue Gery Unmarried show 🙁
Me and my husband never missed the single episode.
All the cast has a good chemistry with eachother..
I like this show. It’s one of my favorite sitcoms ever. Come on, can’t they just continue the show? Gary is really hillarious.
Gary Unmarried cancelled??? Gary Unmarried is a great show!! So is Christine and Accidentally. We lost alot of good shows in the past year or two. Sucks!!! I agree that if Two and a Half Men can make it that long it should have been no problem for these shows. Whoever determines what goes or stays needs to be schooled.
This was one of the most funny shows going. Why couldn’t they try another day. Shows like these are making a comeback and this was a huge mistake. Im over 35 and this was my favorite show. Unbelievable. Every show i seem to like gets cancelled. This really sucks. CBS whoever is making your decisions needs to be removed. you couldnt make this work and now 2 1/2 men is gone. Whos really the problem here? I believe the man or woman in charge. Get it together or get off the air.
Totally agree with you Scott as well with others who bother to express opinions..
It is a real shame that not enouph people take time to write making a true difference in the TV standards to day. All funny good shows are cancelled and the grose ones are aired.. Garry unmarried is an excellent example to protest about this very bad management !!!!
an awesome show, i mean if two and a half men can last 10 seasons gary unmarried should be able to last at least that. one of my all time favorite shows, there wasnt one episode that i didnt laugh through the entire show.
