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?
This was one of two shows I looked forward to every Thursday. My family would pause big bang so we could skips through “MOM’S” and get to the stuff that would matter…. these guys need to relax they are banking on the odd couple who I bet money wouldn’t last half a season….since when is 7 million weekly viewers is not enough to keep a hilarious shows
My boyfriend, best friend, and I love love love this show! I don’t want to see it go. Renew!!
Why would they cancelled the show it was very entertaining.
The McCarthys is going to be a goner soon. Downright horrible written all over it.
Don’t cancell this show. I love it!
I thought this was the best new sitcom in the last 5 years.
Will be sooooooo disappointed not to see more episodes or seasons!
Love the show. A few adjustments maybe. But I really like the show.
Omg, I love this show. I always look forward to Thursday nights just to watch The McCarthys. Please don’t cancel it. Take off Two Broke Girls, Donnie loves Jenny, True Tori and that new extremely awful Man Seeking Woman. They always get rid of the really funny shows. These networks don’t know funny at all.
I liked this show. CBS screwed the viewers again.
How can you cancel such a funny entertaining show but keep garbage on like Two Broke Girls? Cancel that junk first. I think that CBS needs to get some new people who have a sense of humor to judge whether these shows get canned. I know of alot of people who really enjoy that program. DON’T TAKE IT OFF THE AIR. There is getting to be too few shows that are really enjoyable to watch anymore. Only killing, sex and half-naked women. That’s what most of the idiots in this world want. That’s why they don’t appreciate real entertainment.
Why is this show being taken off? The McCarthys is a fun sitcom! Why do all the good shows get taken off when they are replaced with garbage? Not happy!!
This show was seen as a dog even before it aired, this should come as no surprise to anyone
Had it NUMBER 1 on my dead pool list, surprised it lasted this long
I loved the idea of this show on paper… but it just wasn’t funny. We watched the first few episodes and didn’t laugh once. I mean, we were stone-faced. And we WANTED to like this show. We loved the cast, we loved the premise. But the bottom line is, a comedy that doesn’t make you laugh is pointless. It’s a shame the writing simply wasn’t there.
Why is it that cbs cancel all the good family sitcomes p. I love this show. What are you gonna replace it with more cop shows. Or more singles hooking up. This is a good family show in fact this is the only show we all watch together. If this show ends i will have to watch nbc or abc. Thanks a lot C B S
