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.

What do you think? Did you watch The Great Indoors TV show on CBS?Should The Great Indoors have been cancelled or renewed for season two?
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>
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!!
Love the great indoors! Please renew!
We really enjoy the show and hope to continue watching. Some of the lines are just hysterical that they give to “Jack.”
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!!
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
This is a lovely, goofy, interesting, very funny show that needs to be renewed.
This show is the best. It needs to be renewed
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.
Cancel. Looking for something different that is actually amusing. The news is more humorous than this.
Love the show!! Please keep
Love it!! Look forward to it weekly!
I love it and eagerly look forward to the next week
I’d rather channel flip and watch all commercials than sit through this.
