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?
Don’t cancel this very entertaining show
Are you kidding me? My 2 favorite shows both just got cancelled. This is the show me and my wife enjoy the most, and laugh the most with.
And stupid ones like Single Parents and American Housewife get renewed.
We need to start a petition to save the show!
Seriously!?? How is this show canceled?! Its so funny! Great cast etc! So many stupid shows stay on like survivor, big brother etc but a funny show gets canned after poor advertising on CBS’ part?!! SO STUPID!!!!!!
WE LOVE THIS SHOW
CBS did a poor job of promoting the show this year, didn’t even know the new season had started until the new episodes started showing up in my DVR. With all the bound to be cancelled new shows they will come up with next season you would think they would make an effort to promote this show, it’s a smart, funny show that doesn’t have to rely on the tired old formulas of sitcoms to be funny.
It is unfair to cancel Life In Pieces so soon in the season. Give it a chance. Besides, a rank of 16 out of 26 isn’t bad enough to cancel it. Does that mean you will now cancel all the other ten shows ranking lower?
It is unfair to cancel LIP when it is ranked 13 out of 32 script
LIFE IN PIECES I my favorite show! The writing, the acting, the humor were fabulous!
I am totally bummed that CBS is “throwing in the towel”. NOT a good move.
Just sayin’/bummin’……
I love this show….it’s so different then anything else. Guess I don’t count since I’m not in the
right “age group”! Really hope CBS reconsiders.
LOVE LIFE IN PIECES!! ALWAYS FUNNY, I DONT KNOW WHERE THEY DO THERE SURVEY TO CANCELL BUT THEY NEED TO CHANGE!!! ALL THE GOOD STUFF GOES AND YUCKY STUFF STAYS LIKE BIG BROTHERS–UGGGG
Great Show messing around with schedule was wrong. This show was very entertaining.
I love & look forward to this show. It’s always funny. CBS is wrong.
I’m just in the wrong demographic I guess.
Bad decision by CBS. So few watchable programs on TV and this one, a good one, gets the axe. I think CBS should cancel the evening news and replace it with Life In Pieces. At least then we’d have something worth watching and not the depressing Trump saga.
I’m sad life in pieces cancelled, love love it. Smartly done & so funny. All greatcharacters but James Brolin great. Do not cancel. Is CBS nuts… they seem to make bad decisions. Someone else brought up cool kids, maybe not on same level of LIP but got better & so nice to watch shows that arent violent or depressing. Both help take mind off horrible news. KEEP!!
