CBS is throwing in the towel on the Life in Pieces TV show. The network has cancelled the show so there won’t be a fifth season.
A dramedy, Life In Pieces stars Dianne Wiest, James Brolin, Zoe Lister-Jones, Colin Hanks, Angelique Cabral, Thomas Sadoski, Betsy Brandt, Dan Bakkedahl, Niall Cunningham, Holly J. Barrett, Giselle Eisenberg, and Hunter King. The series follows four branches of the Short family tree. Although they’re a big happy clan, that doesn’t mean there are no awkward moments amidst their funny and moving milestones. Each episode unfolds as four short stories which, when woven together, tell one story about this thing called life.
The fourth season of Life in Pieces is averaging a 0.84 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 5.75 million viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 24% and 11%, respectively. Five episodes of the 13 installment season have aired thus far.
Out of the 26 scripted CBS TV shows of the 2018-19 season, Life in Pieces is in 13th place in the demo and 16th place in total viewership.
What do you think? Do you enjoy the Life in Pieces TV show? Are you sorry that it’s been cancelled? Would you have watched a fifth season?
An awesome show, easy going and laid back. I managed to watch the first 3 seasons in 3 days because I was enjoying it so much. It’s such a shame it’s been cancelled, I am genuinely sad…
This show cracked up my entire family! Adults and kids could enjoy and relate to the story lines! I do not understand how we continue to have such great family shows canceled! Very sad about this!
This show will truly be missed.
We absolutely loved this show and hope that another network will pick it up, if CBS doesn’t reconsider and renew it. Very funny with a great cast.
Once again a well written show with great family stories and characters gets canceled! But yet we leave absolute junk on!! We need more family shows !! Please reconsider CBS or I hope some other more intelligent network will pick it up!I don’t think enough people even new how well written and funny it was! Just pitiful… Television is not what it once was!!
Life in Pieces always left my face hurting from smiling or laughing. Never disappointed. So sorry CBS is cancelling this truly funny show. I too hope they reconsider.
One of the best comedy shows I’ve ever seen. I will miss this show . The cast is perfect. I will miss my weekly laughing because no show can compare.
So sad. One of the highlights of TV viewing. Funny, funny funny. Please reconsider
I am so upset that this great hilarious show has been cancelled. I looked so forward to watch this show in season 5, I have to say I am so shocked with how good this show is.
Great emotional rollercoaster, great cast, perfect writing. I truly don’t understand how views have dropped. Sad really. I hope something amazing happens, and there’s a season 5.
I loved this quirky show and I am quite disappointed to learn it won’t be back. Great ensemble cast.
I love the Shorts and I am so upset CBS has canceled them. Diane Wiest and James Brolin are hilarious and the chemistry amongst the entire cast is not only equally hilarious but so real to watch and the story lines are so incredibly relatable. I hope another network will pick them up for the fall. Heck, FOX picked up Last Man Standing when NBC canceled that show!
one of the best shows on tv. this should never be cancelled.
This is one of the funniest, heartwarming shows on TV. My husband and I love it. I’m so sad it’s cancelled.
