Perfect Couples: NBC Pulling Sitcom; Cancelled?

by Trevor Kimball, March 22, 2011

Perfect Couples canceledNBC has decided to yank their freshman sitcom Perfect Couples from the schedule after April 7th. It’ll be replaced by The Paul Reiser Show on Thursday nights. Does this mean that Perfect Couples is canceled and gone for good?

Perfect Couples revolves around three young couples. Dave (Kyle Bornheimer) and Julia (Christine Woods) are the “everyday couple,” who are messed up in all the “normal” ways. Vance (David Walton) and Amy (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) are the high-passion, high-drama couple. Rex (Hayes MacArthur) is a reformed party guy and Leigh (Olivia Munn) is a self-anointed relationship guru who considers it her duty to mold the other couples in their image.

The NBC sitcom has been struggling in the ratings from the beginning. The network gave it viewers a sneak peak in December and that generated a terrible 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.56 million viewers. A month later, the second episode brought a mediocre 2.1 rating and 4.15 million. The numbers quickly started falling and the latest episode hit a low of a 1.2 rating.

The whole season of Perfect Couples currently averages a 1.5 rating in the demo and just 3.27 million viewers. It’s the lowest-rated scripted series on the network by far and even The Cape has a better season average. Bornheimer has committed to a new FOX pilot while Walton has signed on for a new NBC one.

TV show supportSo, no, NBC has not cancelled Perfect Couples officially, there are many very strong indications that it won’t be back next season. NBC has no incentive to bring it back and even cast one of the sitcom’s actors in one of their new shows.

Right now, it looks like there will be four unaired episodes of Perfect Couples. They may or may not see the light of day at a later date.

What do you think? Are you sorry to see Perfect Couples go? Do you think that it still has a chance to return for a second season?

I LOVE THIS SHOW I WATCHED ALL THE EPISODES IN A ROW ON HULU ….it made me laugh OUT LOUD — i think NBC’s problem was that it didn’t promote this show enough since I had never even heard about it. I have been recommending it to all of my friends and have been gushing over it. I’m rewatching the episodes now because they are that funny. I’m in the 18-49 demographic. BRING IT BACK PLEASE IT’S HILARIOUS if ben and kate can be on air then PERFECT COUPLES needs to come back ASAP

Like Dion and Jenay indicated the show Whitney sucks big time! My wife and I cannot believe that a well written, witty and totally funny show would get “canceled” and another poorly written show like Whitney can stay on the air. I guess NBC prefers horribly written shows over the well tuned smart written script.

NBC, bring back this awesome Show!
