Though the show has been cancelled, CBS is bringing How to Be a Gentleman back to the schedule.
CBS pulled the sitcom from its Thursday night timeslot after two disappointing showings. The network switched it with Rules of Engagement, the venerable sitcom that had originally been scheduled for Saturday nights.
Rules ended up performing much better on Thursdays and Gentleman was pulled after one Saturday outing.
Nine episodes of How to Be a Gentleman were produced before the show was cancelled leaving six unaired. CBS has scheduled a pair of episodes for 8pm on Saturday, May 26th. The network is expected to run the remaining four installments on June 2nd and June 9th.
Here are the descriptions of the first two new episodes:

What do you think? Will you be tuning in to see the leftover episodes of How to Be a Gentleman?

this was the smartest show we’ve seen since the first 2 seasons of “30 rock”, and are very disappointed to see it gone.
If nine episodes were produced and only three aired, shouldn’t there be six and not four episodes left?
Adam Decker » 2 eps on 5/26. CBS hasn’t released the schedule yet but it’s expected that another 2 will air on 6/2 and 2 more will air on 6/9.
WHY DID THIS SHOW COME BACK ON IT
No one was in the streets demanding for CBS to bring back How To be A gentlemen, i watched an episode and wow was it painful
CBS does this with every bomb that gets cancelled on their network nowadays. I guess they want to keep the few fans of the show happy.
Yes I will. I was a good.
Why?
I actually think I would prefer the networks to show reruns of their popular shows during the summer. Then I can catch up on shows I missed during the season. For example, I would like NBC to show reruns of Grimm during the summer, because I was watching Fringe during the regular season.
