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 favorite show on TV. Please don’t cancel! Far better than anything else that’s on.
Love this show. One of the best comedies on TV. Its different and deversified not like other shows. The best shows are always cancelled. Give this show another chance.
Love this show, please don’t cancel!
My hubby and I love this show and are so disappointed it won’t be renewed! Such brilliant writing and lovable characters… please keep this show and cancel some of the other dumb shows. There are too many reality shows on TV, and not enough smartly written shows like Life in Pieces. We are not happy about this.
Life in Pieces is the funniest show I’ve seen in years. Why is it being cancelled ? Leave this show on. I am outraged by this. Every great show that comes along which isn’t that many, the network cancels it.
My husband and I both love this show!!! Why do you cancel the good shows and keep the bad ? Not happy with you CBS!
Life in Pieces is a great show. I laugh through out it. I will definitely miss it.
I love Life in Pieces. Other less deserving shows still on.
This show is brilliant and hysterical. PLEASE renew it.
Of course they canceled this awesome show, it’s only got straight white people in it.
Soooo disappointed that CBS cancelled this show!! We love it! Getting tired of CBS cancelling great shows! Seriously considering not watching any CBS shows! So unhappy
Loved Life in Pieces. Great show great characters
Only decent comedy other than Superstore on NBC,
I cannot believe Life in Pieces is cancelled. This 4th season was late to begin with. People had already had their TV favorites programmed into their DVRs. Then the program came back. Please renew it another season. It is a great show.
Great show love the cast and how the family dynamics meld together like a normal family! This is sad news that yet another uplifting relatable show has felt the axe from CBS!! The problem isn’t that no one is watching the show it’s the time slot that was selected! It would be assumed you would have a lot more viewers if it was on a slightly earlier time slot. Guess we’ll have to find something on Netflix for Thursday nights’ entertainment.
