Telly’s Take

Overall, The Great Indoors has performed okay in the ratings for CBS. It’s also had the advantage of having The Big Bang Theory as a lead-in for most of its first season. In that timeslot, it should have done better than it has. When the network’s moved it to a different timeslot, the numbers have seen a dramatic drop. Though it may be renewed for a second season, I suspect the network will cancel The Great Indoors instead.
5/13 update: CBS has cancelled The Great Indoors after one season. Details here.

The Great Indoors had a great premise and cast with reasonably good writing. We needed to care more about the characters, and I think the show was going that direction when it was cancelled. I would have long ago cancelled 2 Broke Girls. I would not have renewed Kevin Can Wait–not a likeable character or that good a show. I like Sherlock Holmes, but never really liked Elementary–can’t believe that has lasted.

I agree I’m sad to see it go. It was really funny and the charachters were sometimes spot on in the differences between generations. Sad to see it go

I am very disappointed that The Great Indoors has been cancelled. It is very funny – and the characters are very interesting & quirky. I enjoyed it very much. I repeat – VERY DISAPPOINTED>

Laurel

Love this show! Great Indoors should definitely be renewed over several others that already have. Love the dry sarcastic wit and the great diverse ensemble cast! It definitely deserves a chance at a second season!!

Heidi

Love the great indoors! Please renew!

Garth Robinson

We really enjoy the show and hope to continue watching. Some of the lines are just hysterical that they give to “Jack.”

Lola

I wish they would put it on Mondays. Kevin Can Wait, The Great Indoors, Man with a Plan and then Mom. It would be the perfect Monday night viewing!!

I love this show. Hope it is kept on!!

Jasper

This show attempts to be funny, but the problem lays with Joel McCrae a very limited actor who comes off unlikeable . The supporting cast is lame. Cancel this mess or take it off the Thursday lineup. It should not proceed MOM, a funny , well written series

Avery

This is a lovely, goofy, interesting, very funny show that needs to be renewed.

Leanne

This show is the best. It needs to be renewed

Pat McAuley

I love this show. I rewatch the shows over and over because the humor is dry and well delivered. I see that Jack will now have a “girlfriend”. Let’s see how that goes.
