Last season, Life in Pieces had a positive start in the ratings but the numbers fell quite a bit by the end of season one. The show could have been cancelled but CBS renewed it instead. Will the numbers continue to fall in season two? Will there be a third season? Stay tuned.
Life in Pieces revolves around four branches of the Short family tree and their sometimes awkward, funny, and touching milestones. The family’s lives unfold in four short stories each episode. The season two cast includes James Brolin, Dianne Wiest, Thomas Sadoski, Angelique Cabral, Colin Hanks, Zoe Lister-Jones, Niall Cunningham, Betsy Brandt, Dan Bakkedahl, Giselle Eisenberg, Holly J. Barrett, and Hunter King.
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.

For comparisons: The first season of Life in Pieces on CBS averaged a 2.00 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.69 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
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 still like the Life in Pieces TV show on CBS? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season three?
3/23 update: Life in Pieces has been renewed for season three on CBS. Details here.
I’d LOVE for the show to continue! I like its original format and it’s sense of humor!
I was looking to see if there are new writers because last year this was my favorite show and now it is painful to watch… Every joke falls flat and the actors look embarrassed. What the heck happened?
This show cracks me up!! Please renew. I want more!!!!
Please, renew this show. I LOVE it.
Please please please have another season!!!! My husband and I have a one year old and it is totally our life! We have never laughed out loud so much at the same show! every friend we’ve told about it loves it!!
Shocked this got past a full season. The writing is sub par, the cast is really bad and overall cannot keep up with the big time shows. From what I hear around town (LA) it will get the axe after the next season. It’s just not good enough.
Another season PLEASE. I absolutely love this show. It’s funny and the casting is spot on
Please please please keep it on!! I recently caught the first season on Netflix and got hooked. I am now catching up on season 2 on the CBS app. My husband and kids also got hooked so I’m rewatching the 1st season as well. Don’t cancel this show!!!
I would be so sad to see this show cancelled. It’s funny, clean humour, and relateable. This is one of the few shows my husband look forward to watching every week. Please keep it on tv. We love it.
I love this show!!! Since i have started watching, i have recruited my 2 sons girlfriends, my 3 sons and my husband.
It is the one show we all make sure we watch together. I even purchased both seasons and we have rewatched and laughed all over again1
PLEASE! PLEASE! RENEW THIS SHOW!!!
DID not like the first year much but it has grown on me and I have begun to like the characters. The parents are a little half witted and the Doctor has half a brain but women on show are funny.
Great and witty show! Wonderful cast! Keep the show going!
Definitely at least one more season one of my favorite shows I watch
We love this show!! It is clever, funny, the cast has a great dynamic, -each are great in their roles, and the situational comedy aspects are great!!
Please keep the show!! We love it and haven’t had a week yet without laughing and enjoying every character, every minute! The entire cast is AWESOME!
