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 LOVED THE SHOW, I thought it was new and modern and funny but still had that old fashion sitcom feel to it.
I LOVE the McCarthy’s!!! One of the better new shows this year. Good cast, family-friendly, great characters. Hope CBS keeps this one!
I love this show! Great cast! Unpretentious! Good storyline. Why can’t they allow good family programming like The McCarthys? Bring it back!
Sign this petition to save the show! Not sure it will help, but it certainly cannot hurt!

I think it sucks!!!! The show was just getting good! PLEASE stop canceling shows before they have a chance to get off the ground!!!
Love this show. My daughter lives in Phoenix now and she’s in love with it as well – brings back her Massachusetts roots. Really wish they’d keep it going.
Don’t cancel the McCartys! It actually kept me from turning off the TV after Big Bang. I can’t suffer through Mom though. Seriously though, you are keeping on shows like Two Broke Girls and starting a new version of the Odd Couple (zzzz), but canning a very funny show? Sad. We love the McCarthys. Looks like we will be watching the reruns in Vulu over and over again. 🙁 booooooo
Hulu, that is, or Vudu….eh, what do I know. Lol
Keep it
CBS are idiots for not continuing this series. Absolutely one of the funniest sit-coms to come out in the last three years. Spot on with the cast…brilliant!!!!
Bring it back. My husband and I loved the show.
I too stumbled on this show by accident and think it is the funniest sitcom I have ever seen. The cast is spot on. Every single person I told about this show got hooked.. Why was it not promoted… Replace by “The odd couple” really.. Have we not seen enough?
Seriously hilarious!!! Bring by it back and give it a real chance. This is a great show with a great cast.
I can’t believe CBS is canceling this show. It is truly s funny
Show. I love the family, setting, characters and even
Location please don’t get rid of it
I can’t believe they are taking the McCarthy’s off and putting in The Odd Couple… Really?!?!
The McCarthy’s are so funny and the acting is great. Come on! Keep the show going and give it a chance to gain some traction!
Love love love this show
