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?

Hey!
Gary Unmarried is one of the best series I have ever seen alongside Rules of Engagement and Scrubs!
It’s a crime to cancel the series after just 2 seasons. I think new comedy series are not given even a chance to prove themselves and it’s unfair. I honestly think why it always has to be about money, why can’t some adjustements be done to continue great tv-shows…
Gary unmarried was the greatest season I have ever seen!! Give it a chance, adverstise more. People can connect to gary and his realtionships.
Come on !!! stop thinking about ratings and money and stop cancelling good shows !
Accidently stumbled upon this show in the Netherlands searching the internet.
I was bloody happy and exited finally having found a good, fun show to watch…
