What do you think? Will you be watching the premieres of Fam or Man with a Plan on CBS? Are you looking forward to the future return of Life in Pieces?
I love Life in Pieces! The cast is hilarious! Can’t wait till it comes back on!
Bring back Life in Pieces! It’s the best comedy on t.v.
I am really missing Life in Pieces! It’s so funny and smart. Please replace Fam; predictable and flat.
I Love FAM why does it need replaced? It hasn’t even had time to form opinions or for people to get interested in it !!! It’s a great show with lots of different ways to play scenes out !! Don’t be so fast yo throw it under the bus !!! LIFE IN PIECES is awesome and there’s room on the schedule for FAM and it !!!!
I want life in pieces back! It’s my favorite show!!!!!!
I want life in pieces back! My favorite show!!!!!!
WE WANT LIFE IN PIECES!! & WE WANT IT NOW!!!
I agree.
Please bring back life in pieces! Get rid of some of the other crap you have on. Otherwise Hallmark will be getting all of our time.
It’s been renewed!!! Does anyone actually read the releases / articles ?? It’s stating no date set yet which most likely means it will be SPRING /SUMMER 2019 line up !!!!
Life in Pieces can’t start soon enough! I wish they would make the episodes an hour long.
I agree. I LOVE Life in Pieces.
Still waiting on Life in Pieces….So funny!!
Won’t watch new comedy sitcom “Fam” because I don’t know any actors in it! Where is Life in Pieces? Loved that Show!
Well that’s kind of stupid. !! So any new show with new actors don’t stand a chance !!! YOU DONT NEED TO THROW FAM UNDER THE BUS because you want LIFE IN PIECES …. It’s been renewed for months,, just waiting on RELEASE !!! If they listen to your reasons we will never get any shows !!! Take it off cause you don’t know anyone lol♀️♀️♀️♀️♀️
Been waiting for “Life In Pieces”. There’s so much you can do with skits, over 3 generations. Think of the Carol Burnett Show and how long that aired for, plus the spinoffs!
Life In Pieces is the best sit-com on tv and I wish it was a full hour! Why is it not on the air yet???
It’s been renewed for months !!! Guess they are gonna add it to the Spring/Summer 2019 Line up
Really missing Life In Pieces
Life in Pieces best sitcom out there.
