Partners was cancelled on Friday by CBS, even though it was nominated for a People’s Choice Award just days earlier. The sitcom has been pulled from the schedule and there’s no word on when or if the network will release the remaining episodes.
Fans are understandably upset that the show has been dumped and the cast can certainly sympathize. Here are their reactions to the sad news:
Michael Urie(Louis): “Thanks for the love and support! #Partners will have a special place in my heart, and the best part was how much y’all liked it. #bestfans”
He later joked, “First #Partners, now #666Park… The only thing that will make me feel better is a twinkie… Oh wait…” Urie also like one fan’s suggestion that, since and he and 666 Park Avenue star Vanessa Williams were now free, they should revie their Ugly Betty characters for a spin-off.
David Krumholtz (Joe): “Thanks for all the support.” “Grateful.” When asked if the remaining episodes will air sometime, the actor responded, “Cable. That is all.”
Earlier today, he tweeted, “TONIGHT! A BRAND SPANKING NEW EPISODE OF…. oh, wait. Nevermind.”
Brandon Routh (Wyatt): “Well, that’s it folks. Our run of #Partners is over. Thanks so much for your love, support, & dedication 2 our show. Much love from us 2 u.”
Sophia Bush (Ali): “Sadly, it is so. What a fun run it has been. I love @michaelurie @DaveKrumholtz @BrandonJRouth so much. Our producers. Our crew. Thank u all”
And later, “The outpouring of love from all of you this morning is so appreciated. To the 6mil of you who watched every week, thank you. So much love.”
And finally, “Let’s take all this Partners love & sadness and do something special with it. Text SHORE to 85944 to donate $10 to #SandyRelief @casinclair. I did last night. And I’m about to do it again. #PayIyForward #Grateful”
Tracy Vilar (Ro-Ro): “Wow, CBS cancelled #PARTNERS. So appreciative for all the support. Sad man, we worked so hard to keep people not laughing but cracking up!”
Jillian Bell (Renata, Ali’s cousin): “Bummed 2 hear that Partners was cancelled. Happy I got 2 meet some amazing people because of it. I will be sad not to see your faces often.”
What do you think? Are you also sorry that Partners has ended? What would you say to the cast and crew about the show?
I am so sorry that Partners is gone. In the short time it was on, I had grown really attached to the characters. I so hope that it can travel to a cable channel and live there. Or at least air all of the episodes already filmed. And release everything on DVD so I can buy it.
Wow they sure know how to pick them 2 dumb girls is renewed then you take partners off after it received a people’s choice nomination ya that makes a whole lot of sense hope one of the other networks picks it up
Hey to all the cast memebers i would like to say when one door close on you that just means that it will be a ton more that’s about to get ready to open for all of you! You are all great actors and actresses so keep your head up and keep it moving. With all the greatness on that show it is more than certain that you will all have jobs soon!!!!!
ok. so TWO BROKE GIRLS the dumbest show in history is still on tv but they cancel the funniest show i’ve seen in ages PARTNERS. You’ve got to be kidding me. I’m heartbroke. That show made my week. How can we protest to get the show back on TV?
Another great show canned. Funny as hell!
Isn’t that the way it happens? “Partners” was my favorite new sitcom, if not my favorite sitcom of all. And, it’s gone. Brandon Routh. I mean, who would cancel Brandon Routh?? I am sad.
Oh no, a comedy without sex and fart jokes for 22 straight minutes! Cancel it NOW!!!!
{rolleyes}
I didn’t find Partners funny or worth watching. One show that is worse though is 2 1/2 men. How that stays on boggles my mind.
I thought it was a really funny show! I agree with some posters above. Cancel 2 1/2 Men!! One of the worst shows of all time, IMO!!
You know what, i read in a lot of places that the show was cancelled because of the bad response from critics. Critics…who…!!
These are just the people who are paid to build up or down a movie or show.
I agree that the show had a bad start…but after that it really took off.
I loved the show and it’s not just me….
I being a tv show freak watch over 20 shows a week and this was my fav..
As someone else said..if you really wanna get rid of the trash…throw out 2 1/2 men…
So sad because I love this show!!!
I’m pissed. Finally CBS has another funny show and it get cancelled. Cancel 2 1/2 men if they need to revise. Bring back partners. My wife and I really love it
It was too much of a Will & Grace ripoff.
However, I have nothing but respect for the way the cast handled it being cancelled, and will always like Krumholtz.
great show. sorry to see it dropped.
I think CBS has a better idea about if a show is actually the people’s choice. I am glad Partners is gone. It wasn’t up to CBS levels.
