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?

This is one of the funniest tv-shows i have ever seen.. It’s so sad to read that the 3rd season has been cancelled.. I had hope it would continue for a long time.. If there is a chance for a 3rd season after all, please make it:)
this is one of the shows that my family can actually sit down and look at this show brought my family closer the good thing about this show is that there is no crime which is something that you don’t find alot,the people that removed this show sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a good show, I am very sorry to see it go. Jay Mohr is a GREAT commedian and I love his wit! Too bad once again a good and funny show is canceled. DANG!
Really loved this show. The chemistry between Jay Mohr and Paula Marshall was fantastic! The addition of Mitch Brooks to the permanent cast was that much more hysterical. Shame to see shows get cancelled that actually have writing and originality instead of crime drama after crime drama watered down with reality drivel.
man that sucks that there’s no season 3 for Gary unmarried.Paula is great with Gary.
This was one of the funniest shows ever! How could it be cancelled….CBS….you really suck !!!!!
