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?

Yes i am so bummed!! I loved Gary it was so cute and funny my kid liked it too nothing bad about it. AND Christine so we are just left hanging this sucks!
sucks!! enjoyed a good laugh before Criminal minds!
I think all the good shows get cancelled. We have to sit and watch Survior, but can’t watch a good comedy like Old Christine and Gary Unmarried.
I loved this show. This sucks!
We loved this show! There is so much garbage on now (most reality shows). There’s enough reality without having to watch it on TV. Would be thrilled if it were to make a comeback.
idiots
I liked this show very much. Don’t know why CBS has to cancel all the good shows.
