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?
Can’t believe the show has been cancelled. Its a brilliantly written and acted show. Seen every episode of seasons 1-4 and been waiting for season 5. Devastated!
What an idiotic decision to cancel one of the few shows that are worth watching. The entire cast is talented, the writing is clever, the stories are relatable. I hope Netflix picks it up – or a smarter network!
I enjoyed the show. I looked forward to watching it weekly. Its absolutely ashamed it was canceled.
I am so disappointed that my favorite show has been cancelled!!!! I have never laughed so hard. So sad!! Hope another network picks it up.
I will love to watch a Fifth Season. I just bought your monthly $9.99 CBS app because my network Att doesn’t have you any more and I just bought it for that serie because I supper love it. Please think about it and make a new season for the fans. Thanks
Ridiculous! There is nothing left worth watching on CBS any more!! They cancel everything I like, what a huge mistake!
The season 4 had a few very funny moments, we could grow with this family, I am becoming fond of them, let’s have two more seasons please, 5 and 6!
CBS is once again making a huge mistake cancelling this relatable family funny show. This is one of reasons why people are leaving these network shows and watching shows on Netflix etc. The executives working on CBS are making a huge mistake and should not have cancelled this! Wake up! Keep the family shows on and get rid of the idiotic shows that are filling the time slots instead!
Very bad decision!
Can’t believe it is cancelled. Another bad decision by CBS.
Oh noooo i love life in pieces. Always make me laugh
Love Life in Pieces and sad to learn it’s been cancelled!
I love Life in Pieces. This is another good show to get cancelled. Just when you get to know the family it gets cancelled. I wish the networks would find some shows (not pass one season) and stick with them instead of having a bunch of different ones and then getting rid of them. Quit being so wishy washy!
Love the show and would watch many other seasons. Too bad the ratings aren’t better. Wonder if’ it’s the time slot and not the show. That’s happened a ton of times in the past two other great shows.
I only just discovered Life in Pieces and it didn’t end properly to just cancel it! It was really funny and relatable to!
Watching season 4 in the UK on Amazon Prime with my wife, 16 and 18 year old daughters. Seen all first 3 seasons. This is the only show we all watch as a family, because we love it. Sad about the CBS decision to stop the fun.
