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?
Please give it another chance it’s way better than half the CRAP that on tv now!
Love the McCarthys..many laughs
my husband and I enjoy
the comedy in this show
My wife and I really love this show. Please renew it.
Why do the networks always take the good shows off? The McCarthy’s is a great show.
Love this show!!! Funy characters. Always has me laughing!!

You knuckleheads always cancel the best shows!!!
I rate The McCarthy’s right up there with The Big Bang Theory!!!
The characters mix so well together and I always find myself laughing at this show!!
PLEASE – don’t be hit over the head with the stupid-stick…..KEEP THE MCCARTHY’S ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Traditiaonlly, we never watch CBS. However, one thursday, following Jeopardy we became distracted and did not change the channel. What ensued was a terrific 1.5 hours of comedy (For obvious reaons, I am not including Two and a Half Men, which has really hit an all-time low). Since then we started watching the Big Bang Theory in syndication, Mom was good, and the McCarthy’s was hysterical! Please don’t take it off or at least tell me where I can watch all of the episodes–we have only seen a few.
I love this show. Please give it another chance or at least vshow us the remaining shows!,,,
We thought this was an offbeat wacky type comedy and are very disappointed to find that it is off the air. Bring it back.
Why would you cancel such a funny show? What a disappointment!
I hope CBS would at least air the remaining shows and then see how the numbers work!
This show is hilarious! I encourage other people to watch it and then discovered it wasn’t even on anymore. I’m so disappointed. Why would anyone rather watch reruns of Big Bang Theory when The McCarthy’s was soooo funny! Please bring it back!
This is such a funny and enjoyable show. The cast is great and very likable. Please give it another chance.
