CBS hasn’t cancelled The McCarthys but fans aren’t going to be able to find any new episodes on the schedule.
The McCarthys revolves around sports-crazed family from Boston. Athletically-challenged and gay son Ronny (Tyler Ritter) plans to finally move away to start his own life. Those plans are thrown into turmoil when his basketball coach dad (Jack McGee) offers him a job as assistant coach — much to the dismay of Ronny’s siblings. The sitcom also stars Laurie Metcalf, Jimmy Dunn, Joey McIntyre, and Kelen Coleman.
The sitcom debuted in late October and, despite mediocre ratings, the network has kept The McCarthys on the air. It’s the lowest-rated scripted series on the network in total viewership and also has the lowest demo rating of any CBS sitcom this season — including The Millers which was dropped mid-way through its second season.
The network didn’t give the show a full season but did order two additional installments, bringing the first season’s tally to 15 episodes. It remains to be seen if we will actually see all of them however.
CBS has aired 11 of the 15 episodes so far. They had been set to air two more installments, on February 5th and 12th. Now, the network has pulled them and plans to air reruns of The Big Bang Theory instead.
The following week, CBS will fill the 9:30pm timeslot with part of the Two and a Half Men series finale and after that Mom will shift there — to make room for the debut of the new version of The Odd Couple at 8:30pm.
The network hasn’t announced any plans to air the remaining four episodes of The McCarthys. Also, based on the ratings, it looks very unlikely that the series will be renewed for a second season.
What do you think? Do you like The McCarthys TV show on CBS? Would you watch the four remaining episodes? If you ran the network would you renew the sitcom for a second season?
So sorry to read this! We’ve been telling all our friends and family members to watch it because it is so funny. Laurie Metcalf should have an emmy for her performance. I hope CBS will reconsider and give it some time to build an audience. Seinfeld would have been pulled at this point if NBC hadn’t given it a longer time to build a fan base. YES, we would most certainly watch another season!
Can’t believe it. This is one of the funniest, laugh-out-loud shows. Come on CBS, give it a chance.
I love the the show. I wish it was still on. Very funny!
I want the McCarthy’s back. Very funny show. Loved it. I have busy schedule I realized my DVR wasn’t recording it anymore. What’s up with that?
Loved the show
Really sad to see the McCarthy’s cancelled…. I guess it just wasn’t disgusting enough as many of the others that CBS kept. We will definitely watch the other networks more then CBS.
Loved the show!!!
WHAT !!!!!! Why do they keep the crappy shows and get rid of the good ones?????
I absolutely loved this show. The cast was fabulous. I laughed so hard watching it.
I have discussed the show many times with family and friends. I truly hope it comes back.
Love this show. Damn good script, very funny. Please bring it back.
I loved this show! It was hilarious! Bring it back!!!!
To me at least, ‘The McCarthys’ had the dubious distinction of being unfunny despite being blessed with having Laurie Metcalf in its cast. It shares being very poorly written with ‘The Millers’, a show that almost criminally wasted the talents of its cast members. I’d just as soon not watch the remaining episodes of either sitcom, much less both of them. It’s just too sad.
Loved this show! It always made my week. I’m having serious withdrawal without it. I have seen way too much Big Bang Theory and The McCarthys was fabulous!
The McCartthy’s is a fun show and I love the show so mach I hope cbs put it back on soon. And I think you shoulded
take off a show when there are people who is still watching it . I’m very upset please put the McCarthy’s back on. Thank you
