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 don’t understand how people could not like this show, but watch 2 broke girls or the horrendous show moms. To me this was the best comedy added to the CBS line up in the last few years. I think it should be brought back.
the mccarthy’s is freakin hilarious and i think it shows how families truly are with each other they fight they make up they pick on each other, i know a lot of people who love this show and it would be sad to cancel another good show, im not a fan at all of big bang thoery but that crap keeps getting renewed i dont know why… this is actually a show that makes us laugh our asses off…. laurie metcalf is amazing in this role please save this show and dont cancel, at least finish season 1 so it… Read more »
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW. IT’S THE BEST NEW COMEDY ON TV. GIVE IT A FIGHTING CHANCE!!
Please don’t cancel the McCarthy’s…I think it is one of the best sitcoms out there and I so look forward to watching it every Thursday.
This is the first show in a long time that makes me laugh……SAVE THE McCARTHY’S!!!
I caught a couple episodes of this show and thought it was terrible. Nothing’s funny about a family that’s just mean to each other, but then they learn a valuable lesson at the end. I was embarrassed for Laurie Metcalfe, she can do better.
We enjoyed the show. Hope CBS re-considers…at least finish out the shows they have & maybe continue over the summer.
Don’t cancel the show,it’s soo funny, me and my family enjoyed your Thurs nite lineup with the McCarthy’s in it. Don’t run reruns of the big bang theory we see enough of them. Please keep the McCarthy’s in your lineup
Thank you
This was one of the best comedies to come along in a long time. please air the remaining episodes. maybe put it on a better night it will get more ratings. I am sure the odd couple will be a smash! not…..
Love this show! It’s so funny I don’t know why the network would cancel it! I would definitely watch the next four episodes and every season there after!!!! Please don’t cancel it!!!!
Great Show ! Do not cancell
I absolutely loved this show! It’s the ONLY reason I had to watch CBS! I feel like the show was a “sleeper”. I came upon it accidentally. I was instantly hooked. Each week, I talked another of my family members into watching with me. Everyone loved it! The family is adorable and this show makes you laugh out loud. I remain mystified at how long some less funny shows have lasted. I am genuinely sorry that these folks won’t be a part of my Thursday night viewing. I hope CBS RECONSIDERS!
I love this show too!!! Please do not cancel it. It is really funny!
After You killed 2 1/2 men why would you get rid of a good show now like the McCarthys?
I love this show!!!!
Please give it a fighting chance!!
