How to Be a Gentleman: Cancelled Sitcom Returns

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.
