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?
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!!!
