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?
Love, it! Bring it back!
I don’t watch any network shows except Life In Pieces and Cool Kids. The characters and cast are funny and relatable. This show is unique and should be allowed to continue.
I LOVE this show & it sickens me that you are cancelling it. There is NOT another comedy show anywhere like it on TV or cable & it should be allowed to continue!!!!!
This is the only network sitcom I’ve watched in at least ten years. I love Diane Wiest and James Brolin the most, and would love a spin-off of just them moving to a retirement community with occasional drop-ins from the family.
So sad to see it go. Loved the format and the great cast. Wish CBS would reconsider, but I’m sure the hiatus earlier this year did not help viewership.
I’ve always enjoyed this show. It is very funny. Please don’t cancel it!!
Life in Pieces is the best comedy I have seen in years. Great cast! Each story makes me laugh. I can’t understand this decision!
Yes I love this show! very funny, well written show. I love James Brolin in this show! they always cancel the good shows and put on crappy ones. I hate reality shows. This was an excellent show. they should give it another chance.
What? This show was a laugh out loud one!! So good! Why would they cancel something so good!!?? Doesn’t this world need humor??? Just a bad bad decision!!
My husband and I love Life in Pieces. One of the funniest shows I’ve ever watched. Hopefully, someone else will pick it up. Not many shows on anymore that can really make you laugh!
Love this show!! Sad they got cancelled.
Absolutely loved Life in Pieces. There wasn’t a single episode that didn’t leave me heartily chuckling. It was smart and witty with a great cast. I plan on buying the DVDs as soon as I can. So sad!
I’m sorry to hear this ☹️. I really enjoyed this show!!!! Hopefully, it will get picked up by another network.
Yes I’m heartbroken that they are doing away with life in pieces. This is absolutely my favorite comedy CBS has. What is wrong with them? Give it more of a chance when it came back on this season I was so happy. My mother thought she would hate it, but watched last weeks episode now she loves it. If it had more of a chance more people would love it. They give up to easily. Please help keep it on.
Another good show gone. I love Life in Pieces. Hopefully Netflix will step up to the plate and continue this fantastic series. I’m about giving up on these networks. They cancel all the good shows and keep the crap.
AMEN!!!!!
