Joel McHale’s last sitcom, Community, was never a hit in the ratings but it lasted for six seasons between NBC and Yahoo. His new series, The Great Indoors, is airing on CBS and that network has much less tolerance for low-rated sitcoms. Will this new show be cancelled or will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
The Great Indoors follows an adventurous magazine reporter (Joel McHale). His world is turned upside down when the magazine goes online-only and he’s assigned to head the digital department. He must learn to supervise a young staff of Millenials who speak a language he can barely understand. The rest of the cast includes Stephen Fry, Susannah Fielding, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Shaun Brown, Christine Ko, and Chris Williams.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The Great Indoors TV show on CBS? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season two?
5/13 update: CBS has cancelled The Great Indoors after one season. Details here.
Don’t care for the show. Replace it with something like “Bull” for better watching.
Cleverly written, unique characters, contemporary story line….definitely should be renewed. So much on tv it took me all season to find it.
I like the show. I’m tired of reality T.V. I hope they keep it.
I’m not really a fan of the sitcom theme but after watching a couple of episodes its actually pretty good. Joel plays prwtty much the same character as in Community and it’s friccin hilarious 🙂 I hope they get renewed. They never give enough time for a show to take off
I don’t like the show.
1 of the worst shows on TV.
I hope they decide to renew the show. Several shows have been cancelled before they have had time to reach their full potential.
Please keep the show on it is funny and very realistic
Please keep the show on. We very much get him being frustrated with the younger generation not getting OUT, not living in the now world. Very funny.
This is a great show and well written . As a Baby Boomer, it gives me funny insights to my millennial friends. It is worthy of another season. Keep the faith Jack, the “kids” are all right!
Good show we watch it every week. Every one we know likes it and watches it.
I think it’s a great show, it has an average of 7 million views. even tough that’s not the most, it’s heaps – I think you should give the show one more chance – It has happen to a lot of shows and then they picked up later in the next couple of seasons. I love Stephen Fry as an actor on this show – Keep the show alive for one more season –
I think the show should, it seems like it The topic is very funny and true
Great Indoors live taping has been canceled for Feb 8 and 15. Not a good sign…
They were actually moved because Joel McHale is touring and doing some show in New York. The ratings are just fine guys.
Renew the great indoors just think of all the iconic shows that u wouldn’t have had the fun of watching if they were cancelled so fast because they didn’t have high ratings immediately
