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.
