The premiere was a big improvement over what ABC had been getting in the timeslot but isn’t exactly an impressive premiere. Pan Am and The River, which will both surely be cancelled, debuted much better.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

I was searching online to find out when season 2 of GCB was gonna premier & to my surprise I see it’s been canceled! I can’t believe it! It was one of the funniest shows I had ever seen. What were you people thinking? BRING IT BACK!
I wish the network would bring it back or a different one would pick it up again. GCB was number one on my show list of guilty pleasures. It was so funny and I loved all the characters. With each episode we got to know more about the characters and what made them the way they are. As time went on they each evolved and more interesting facts were revealed leaving me addicted to the show. If you were born and raised in the south you would get this show and understand it and not take it so offensively. Appearently,… Read more »
It is very displeasing to have such an original and talented cast and show as GCB cancelled. I haven’t laughed so hard or much in many years. Rarely do I watch night time TV as the sit-coms by and large are stupid and degrading, truly adding to the dumbing down of viewers. GCB, on the other hand is so openly a spoof on the right wing Evangelical Christian movement that by and large choose to see women as objects only, women who have no apptitude for rational thought and are preferably sought only as instruments for breeding purposes and household… Read more »
Please bring GCB it is the only worth watching in Sunday nights!!!
Please bring this show back. All we see now is murder & cop shows (CSI, NCIS….). Don’t we have enough tragedies that happen in real life, we then need to watch it on the TV? This show was funny and very entertaining, and for those politically correct people that think this show is not displaying Christians in the right light may have a chip on their shoulder.
U cancel this good show but keep some of those crappy ones like dancing with the star’s…. Please!
Why was this show cancelled? LOVED this show…
