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 this show and many people I know agree. Truly the best show I’ve seen in years. I couldn’t’ believe it was canceled. Great writing, and casting! I hope they can bring it back.
Was a big mistake to cancel it. It had the best cast of characters on TV today.
I recently found Life in Pieces on Amazon Prime. It is addictive. Please consider bringing it back. I would watch it for many more seasons. Smartly written and true to life.
My wife and I stumbled upon this show recently and binge watched it on Netflix. We thoroughly enjoy the cast and plot lines. It is a shame to note the show has been canceled.
This was one of the best shows on tv and it gets cancelled…?
I cannot believe that this show has been cancelled. This is some of the best writing and acting on television. Please reconsider. At the very least, give us a satisfying finale to the series, rather than bunch of cliffhangers. It is no wonder that I watch fewer and fewer network shows.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST Shows on TV. Why in the world would it be canceled other than a complete incompetent management decision. The problem is not the show its the netwoork and marketing. Done right this show could be a 10 to 15 season show easily!!!!!
Why??? This show was awesome! It is just what we needed at the end of the day. Real. Humor. Not politically driven- human driven.
Cannot believe with all the crap on television and a show this great is cancelled!
Our family LOVED watching The Shorts family in Life in Peices! So disappointed that it came to an end:(
We loved all the characters… good wholesome family show!
This show should have been renewed for season five and beyond. It is a very funny series, I love the characters.
This is a great show! I believe it should have been renewed for season five. A very funny show!
Wait whaaaaat?! Well this is terrible news. My Husband and I Love this show! (and we dont agree on shows AT ALL, he likes “parenthood” and “this is us” and I am more of a “the Sinner” and “the watchman” kinda crowd. I really hope someone picks up this show 🙁
My favorite show!! Please rerun this series
Love love love this show. Please keep it on , always laughed out loud .
