So far, it’s been a mixed season for new comedies. NBC’s Truth Be Told had its episode order cut today (and will likely be cancelled) while ABC’s Dr. Ken was given a full season order earlier this month. Now, CBS’ Life in Pieces has been given a full season order as well. It’s been doing well for the network on Monday nights and next week, it moves to Thursdays.
Here’s the press release:

What do you think? Do you like the Life in Pieces sitcom? Do you think it deserved a full season?
KEEP IT!! Great show!
Love it. Best comedy on TV!
This is a great light comedy! Family viewing. Keep it – renew it! Funny. Love then 4 scenarios.
This ia a terrific show! Very Funny!!!
The best new show of the season! So glad it will be back! It is very refreshing and funny. I hope to see this show for many more seasons!!!!
Yes, Life in Pieces is a great show. Easy to watch and great scenarios. Keep it coming. Lots of laughs – which are rare nowadays.
Wow!!! I find this TV show to be the most refreshing, inventive and hilarious comedy to come along in a very long time! The four mini-segment format really makes for a fast-paced, attention grabbing comedic blast. The writing is laser-sharp and the cast is crazy good in each of their roles! I find myself missing bits because I’m rolling on the floor laughing! I pray that it continues to be renewed so that my living room continues to be flooded with gut-busting comedy!
I LOVE this show!!!!! Best new comedy in a long, long time
Did not agree with you more it’s absolutely hysterical
Thrilled to read that “Life in Pieces” has gotten a full season. The writing is top notch–clever, touching at times, cringe-worthy at other times and heartfelt. Wonderful ensemble cast Touche’.
An exceptionally unique and hilarious show: the cast and writing is outstanding!! and a welcome change. Kudos.
Yes, yes and yes. Very glad to hear it received a full season order.
love this show
Absolutely love this show! I can’t wait to watch the full season!
Absolutely love , love , love this sitcom. The acting is genius, the laughs are full . Keep it going and keep up up the outstanding work for all involved!
Really can’t stand Life in Pieces even though the first episode was terrible and a bit cringe worthy. Hope it’s going to get one season tops and despite CBS’ grueling prime time schedule that has really been the problem year after year, we won’t wait until Mike & Molly and The Odd Couple comes back and I know that the new sitcom Angel From Hell doesn’t debut by February 2016.
