CBS debuted two new comedies last season. They cancelled one (The McCarthys) and renewed the other (The Odd Couple). How will Life in Pieces perform in the ratings. Will it get a second season? Stay tuned.
Life in Pieces revolves around four branches of the Short family tree and their sometimes awkward, funny, and touching milestones. The cast includes James Brolin, Dianne Wiest, Thomas Sadoski, Angelique Cabral, Colin Hanks, Zoe Lister-Jones, Niall Cunningham, Betsy Brandt, and Dan Bakkedahl.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/31 update: Now that season one is over, will this show be renewed for a second season? Should it be cancelled?
4/1 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Life in Pieces TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Well, the demo went down which I guess is what really matters to get it cancelled, but sadly viewership went up and more people polluted their minds. Please stop watching this.
I just saw in a super bowl commercial that this is the #1 new comedy and it gave me chills. But I’m not worried. I’ve been praying everyday for this show to be cancelled and I know I will get it cancelled by the end of this season. I promise all of you that this show will end after one season.
Your grumpy this show is awesome and hilarious! If you don’t like to laugh then don’t watch it!
Okay, so the ratings went up this week meaning more people drenched their brains with poison. STOP WATCHING THIS SHOW!!! Please, as a christian I love all of you and I am concerned for all of you. Please stop polluting your minds. Don’t you want the days back where families watched tv together? Please stop watching this show.
A television show will not dictate our eternal soul. That doesn’t make sense. If anything you’re negatively enticing people to watch.. See if it is so bad. If you’re trying to help people. First lesson is to understand them.
Greg, what is your mission to dis this show? Move away already!
Greg, I’m not sure what is so vulgar about this show. The segment about a teenage boy and his date giving up a concert to spend more time with thie great grandmother? My whole family finds the show funny and refreshing. And the great thing about America, we both can voice our own opinion.
All of the sex jokes and the fact that characters have had sex on the show. Please stop watching this show, and if you are letting your kids watch it you should definitely stop watching this show. I know you may not want to stop but it is for the good of the children.
Okay, I am practically begging all of you now. Please stop watching this show. All I want is for TV to go back to how it used to be. When families sat and watched TV together without fear of their kids being exposed to vulgar stuff. When shows taught good lessons and morals. I just want that time back and this show is preventing that. Please stop watching this show so it gets cancelled. On a brighter note the vulgar PC spewing NBC show Truth Be Told has been cancelled.
I have decided instead of saying what shows are bad I’ll say some shows that are good. Batman (1966) is a good lighthearted adventure series that young boys will love to watch. Full House is a good clean family show that families will love, it teaches good lessons and keeps jokes clean. Boy Meets World is a clever sitcom that tweens and teens will adore and love for their whole lives. Dinosaurs is a smart family comedy that has humor that any age will love. The Andy Griffith Show teaches great lessons and has characters families will love. The Munsters… Read more »
My wife and I both enjoy the show and look forward to it every week. If you don’t like it – don’t watch it and let the ratings dictate whether the show continues or not. We all have our right to our opinions – including attempting to get others to see our own point of view. When I see others push their views on me, my first reaction is to push back even more.
I’m so glad the ratings have declined for the past two episodes! Hopefully they continue to decline and the show gets cancelled. I know a lot of you on here are fans of this show but I hope you all realize that this show is vulgar and shouldn’t be on TV. I hope all of you stop watching this and watch something more appropriate, especially if you have kids that watch it, kids should never be exposed to shows like this. I hope all of you who watch this show stop so no more people are exposed to this repulsive… Read more »
Well I sure am glad to have read your review on tv shows! If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know to stop watching being it’s riddled with vulgar! Thank you so much Greg!!
It is currently the number one comedy on the network and is being promoted as such via commercials and print. Probably a good sign for this show’s futures.
I don’t think it will be canceled. The only funny parts are Colin Hanks and Zoe Lister Jones but CBS keeps some terrible shows in its lineup and this one does well enough to stay on, I think. The kids on this show + the girlfriend Colleen are the worst thing on tv right now.
Life in Pieces: BORING!!! Gave it 3 tries….laughed once…and that one time wasn’t even that funny. Sorry….
OMG I LOVE this Show…Best show out there. My 3 girls love it also!! Crazy if thinking of canceling. There are some horrible shows that get re-newed and I scratch my head why. This one HAS TOO!!
Greg-You still haven’t be able to provide concrete examples on why this show should be cancelled. And to Dave and Greg you are not forced to watch anything. You both are totally missing the point, if you do not like a show, well then do not watch it! It is pretty simple! If you are a parent and you think it is inappropriate then do not let your children watch as that is what the family friendly channels are for. It is not like you turn on your TV and CBS is locked and you cannot change the channel. I… Read more »
Hey greg, I know how you feel. I am also repulsed when I watch the christian broadcast channels
I was repulsed when the supreme court legalized gay marriage
This show is hilarious ! Why would you even think of cancelling it !!!???? Please keep it on the air!
They would think of cancelling it because it it vulgar, repulsive, and not fit for any humans. Please stop watching it. I’m sorry to repeat this but it needs to be cancelled.
Hi Greg! Wonderful that there is someone out there that is willing to stand up to the bully’s of television and film that want to force us to watch things with such vulgarity! I support you Greg, and your ability to get shows like this off the air. The kind of scum that would allow things like this to be seen by children should be tarred and feathered. I know we don’t tar and feather people anymore, but we should still, shouldn’t we? Tarring and feathering going out of style is why shows like this “Life in Pieces” are able… Read more »
Thank you so much for supporting me. Most people hate on me for trying to fix TV. Also, I know some shows you could watch. Unfortunately a lot of the shows are older because they don’t make many good shows anymore. There are shows like Full House, Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs, The Andy griffith Show, The Munsters, I love Lucy, The Wonder Years, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and Cristela, The Middle, Last Man Standing, Fringe, Reba, The X Files, Sledge Hammer!, George Lopez, Seventh Heaven, Touched by an Angel, Home Improvement, Family Matters, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, That’s So… Read more »
Over half those shows you listed were garbage in my opinion. Does that mean they all should have been immediately cancelled. No, many had an audience. I watched the ones i liked and didn’t the others. My choice. I let others make their own choices.
Also Dr. Ken, Matlock, Walker Texas Ranger, Girl Meets World, Hope and Faith, The Cosby Show, Pinky and the Brain, and The Goldbergs are good shows for families too.
The Cosby Show. The one who rapes women. Yea you would support that
