What do you think? Are you a fan of the Life in Pieces TV series? Do you plan to watch the third season on CBS?
One of our favorite shows!
Ohhhhh my HELLS… This show must go on! Sure some story lies are weaker than others but this with every show of this genre. I tell everyone that I can to watch this comedy of what I refer to as Modern Family meets The Middle meets Seinfeld on some levels. I have not Belly Laughed so hard since perhaps Seinfeld and even then I’m not sure I can say I had tears rolling from laughter. It’s such a sweet release from life stressors and I totally escape and LMAO! It’s refreshingly funny. The perfect mindless way to end a day… Read more »
This show is so funny !! My whole family is hooked ! I can see this show being around for a long time there’s so much the writers can do with the families !
I love Life in Pieces. Truly funny. My husband is hooked now and I have told all my friends that Life in Pieces is the best comedy show to come along in years. I was just looking up when the new shows will start and see that CBS hasn’t renewed yet. PLEASE renew.
I love this show. My husband and wondered if it was renewed. It mirrors real life. I didn’t know James Brolin could be so funny. Can’t wait fir Season 3.
This show had me from the pilot absolutely love it. Would be very disappointed in CBS if it were to be canceled.
Absolutely LOVE Life in Pieces. Can’t wait for its return
I really find Life in Pieces very funny. Although some of the writing in season two could have been better. I intend to watch the show and sometimes it is very funny
I can’t wait for season 3 of Life in Pieces, but CBS you really screwed up Kevin Can Wait…..how could you kill off his wife (Erin Hayes) she was the glue of the show and the character you wrote for Leah Remini is so unrealistic. Whoever came up with this idea is the person that should have gotten the axe. No longer watching Kevin Can Wait, and I loved King of Queens.
This is our favorite show. Can’t wait for new season. We have watched it over and over.
