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?
Bring The McCarthys back! I love that show!
I love the McCarthy’s! Please don’t cancel!!!
My daughter (age 25) and I love the McCarthy’s! It was so much funnier than things like 2 1/2 men and not crude at all. We come from the Boston area and they were right on with lots of the references and no “fake” Boston accents.
I loved the mccarthys!!! So not fair that rating s have to be so high with so many channels now days!! This was a show that is basically how my family is!! So real!!!

I hope they ring back the McCarthy ‘s I loved the show . I don’t watch many comedy but I realy enjoyed that one. So please bring it back we love the show.
LOVE this show! I hate that it’s been pulled, and yes, if I ran the network I’d show the remaining episodes and renew for one more season, just to give the show a fighting chance.
I loved this show. I thought it was well written and very funny. Laurie Metcalf was hysterical. I hope that CBS doesn’t cancel.
We love the McCarthy’s. I hope they continue the show. It is funny and appropriate for all audiences.
keep the show I loved Tyler Ritter and Laurie Metcalf.
Was a great show, really funny. Can’t even compare to the Millers which was bad! Bring it back
They should’ve brought it back in time for St. Paddy’s Day. They could’ve made a hilarious episode with that. Pulling this show was such a bad mistake. It was a genuinely funny show.
I love The McCarthys show! It is the perfect show to unwind in the evening! I would watch it every day. They all do a great job! Sad to have it cancelled!
I very much enjoyed all the episodes that I seen, and would like to see it continue. I find it a fresh look on the TV show from the 90’s, Rosanne, which did very well! I sure hope to see it for a second season.
Great show! Better than the odd couple. Pleas CBS keep the show.
Love the McCarthy’s. I have always been a fan of Laurie Metcalf. And Tyler Ritter looks and acts just like his Dad. I hope they continue the show.
