There’ll be no return to the Promised Land for fans of the Living Biblically TV show. CBS cancelled the sitcom on April 19th and pulled it from the air. Early last month, the network scheduled Living Biblically to return and “burn off” the remainder of the season one episodes, beginning May 28th. Last week, they then pushed the return off until June 4th, and the Living Biblically season one/TV series finale was expected to air on June 25th. Now, the network has slated NCIS: New Orleans reruns in Biblically‘s place, until Salvation assumes the timeslot on June 25th.
A CBS sitcom, Living Biblically stars Jay R. Ferguson, Lindsey Kraft, Ian Gomez, David Krumholtz, Tony Rock, and Camryn Manheim. Based on the AJ Jacobs book, The Year of Living Biblically, the comedy centers on Chip Curry (Ferguson), a film critic for a New York City newspaper. After the death of his best friend, Chip decides to live a better life, through strict adherence to biblical precepts.

What do you think? Were you hoping that CBS would air the rest of season one of its cancelled Living Biblically TV series? Let us know, below.
Sad that Living Biblically is cancelled especially because it was one of a kind compared to the majority of network shows that are so much more of the same! NCIS: New Orleans is one of that type that I never watch!
You could not write it could you!
Those of us that have invested time in it should have access to the remaining episodes, so just put them on Youtube so that we can enjoy.
I wish Living Biblically had not been cancelled!!! At least let us see all of the episodes!!! Maybe put it on another network? This was a great program!!
Lol :DD this is funny
