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?
Loved the Mccarthy’s. Bring it back please
The remaining episodes start airing 7/4/15
I am so mad they canceled McCarthy s. The show was so funny. Bring it back please!
This show is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen in years!!! Please don’t take it away… My family and I always looked forward to watching it. People just need to give it a chance. It’s CBS’s fault for not advertising it correctly…
I enjoyed the show and would love to see it come back!
Please, please, please, whatever you do, DO NOT CANCEL this show. It’s one of the funniest, quickest, wittiest show on tv. Both my daughters who are 27, 24 and I, 65, love it and are upset to think we will never see it again. Please reconsider.
My husband & I LOVE this sitcom. Please do not cancel. Characters are awesome…
C’mon guys! This cast is great and the situations funny! Maybe that’s why it isn’t being renewed.
This show was so funny. I really enjoyed it. This is why I do not watch many shows anymore, they are never given a chance and they are pulled and replaced with another realty show.
This show is funny! We love watching this as a family. Please bring it back.
