What do you think? Are you sorry that the Life In Pieces TV show hasn’t been renewed for season five? Should this series have been cancelled?
My wife and I loved this show here in Australia. Will definitely miss the hysterical interactions of each member of this extended family. A very refreshing well written, non offensive comedy is hard to find these days. Would love to see more seasons of this brilliantly funny sitcom.
I really hope Life In Pieces returns, we love it here in the UK, we have to watch it via Amazon Prime, so please bring it back to our screens. I love all the characters and the humour is spot on. I am so disappointed that it might be cancelled. There are very few decent comedy sitcoms these days, Life In Pieces is far by the best in my opinion.
One of the funniest sitcoms on tv over the last four years. The writers were really clever.
Thank was a funny show.season 5 please.that show needs to stay…..
So very disappointed Life in Pieces was canceled. Compared some other shows airing, LIP was witty, clever, and non-offensive- totally made my Thursday nite worthwhile.
Sorry yo see the show was cancelled thought it was a good show
I love LIP, it is always entertaining. A refreshing program given all the current craziness going on in the world right now. It is breath of fresh air. Please, please don’t cancel.
L-I-P may very well be the best comedy on network tv. The executives of the main three networks keep wondering why people keep tuning into cable shows? Because you’re too
numb to fresh writing and good actors. It’s not about quality programing anymore, it’s about advertising dollars.
I’m so disappointed that Life in Pieces is cancelled. It’s one of the most refreshing, and original tv viewing experiences in recent years. I’m not sure why this year was such a departure in the ratings. I hope another network will pick it up.
We love this show, and ask that the cancellation be revisited.
Very disappointed that Life in Pieces has been cancelled. One of the few TV shows that made me laugh hysterically! Can’t believe they can’t see what a great show this is! NBC, bad move!
This is a favorite! Please don’t cancel it! Very funny and poignant.
Great show. Please don’t cancel it. I watch from Israel and I love it!!!
