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?

I loved this show! There are so few sitcoms on tv these days I always welcome new ones. I mean really CBS, what else do you have going on? Another cop/legal show? Enough already! And the Big Bang Theory isn’t even funny anymore and so old and dried up, how about giving some freshman sitcoms a chance? It’s ok, you can pass the torch to someone else more deserving. These other shows will live on in syndication forever.
The McCarthys Will Not Be Seen This Year,So Instead We May Bring You Some InAppropiate With Sex Scences and PRetry Girls With Long Hair and Short hair topless and naked in the showers and at the beaches and More Big Bang Theory and Mom Episodes and MOre Adventures,Road Trips and Girls In Bikinis and In Thong Bikinis ON TV Partying.
Please don’t cancel it! We loved the show!!!
My wife and I loved the show. We also liked the millers see how that turned out
Don’t cancel!!! I love this show. Actually saw it when nothing was on. I was hooked! Needs a better time slot. Give them a chance please!!!!!
One of the funniest sitcoms we have seen in a long time. Perfect cast of characters. Writers did AWESOME! We watch re-runs that we recorded. Wish they would air the last 4 episodes. Maybe a different time slot and see how they do. Simply LOVE the show!
I thought this was a very funny show. Why don’t the networks give shows a chance. It used to be that shows were left on for a while until word got around that they were worth watching. Now, shows are yanked too early. Some of the best sitcoms in the past would never have made it today.
We liked this show. A good time slot would have helped. At least show the unaired episodes.
That would make sense don’t you think. Better than watching re runs of Big Bang Theory.Twice in one night is a little much.
Please do not cancel, this is one of the shows I look forward to watching. I am very busy and don’t get to watch a lot of TV and I can relate totally to this as I have a big family. I totally get the humor.
My husband and I love this show, great cast, but putting it after two and a half men was the worst idea ever. That show is only about sex and really should not even be on a regular network.
the McCarthys really should be on after Big Bang Theory. You really need to give the show a good slot and you will see how well it does. If you remember, All in the Family, Seinfeld, and Friends did not have a good first year. All of a sudden the networks do not give new series a chance any more.
Great Show!!! Miss it already!
I love this series! CBS in not giving it a chance by putting it in a god time slot. It should be put between The Big Bang Theory and Mom on Thursday nights! Please don’t cancel it and please show the unaired shows, or release them on DVD immediately!!!
