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?
I love this show! I bet if they looked at their viewing numbers on Netflix it’s a lot higher, I know that’s how I watched it. I bet cable/satellite subscriptions in general are down at least 20%
So dissapointing. Such a great show.
This is awful. I love the show…I guess unless it has a lot of cursing and some nudity it will stay on the air. The Network needs to rethink their bad decision.
We loved this show and would definitely watch it if it came back on. We never missed an episode .
One of the only smart,witty, thoughtful shows on – such a disappointment to see it cancelled. Rare in a time of reality tv with no character development and story lines to find an intelligent show with great actors. Agree, it should come back.
Nooooo please bring it back!!!! One of my few favorite shows that I watch over and over again.
That stinks it was a nice clean and funny show
That’s so disappointing! Life in Pieces was such a smart, quick witted comedy. I’m really sad!
Drat. We were still hoping it would come back. 4 seasons weren’t enough. 🙁
I can’t believe they canceled this show I loved it so much I’m going to miss it so much plz bring it back ! Can a Other station please pick it up
My wife and I enjoyed the show very funny and entertaining great cast the best thing James Brolin has ever done
I really liked the show. One of the funniest shows out there. I hope they bring it back or another station pick it up.
Bring back Life in Pieces. Funnier than most tv shows on tv.
So disappointed that life in pieces was cancelled. It was one of the funniest shows on. No show even comes close!
I am really bummed. My husband and I thought the show was well written and funny. We looked forward to it coming back for a 5th season. Big mistake this cancellation. The format offered so many story lines and chacacter possibilities
