CBS continues to look for new hit sitcoms. Last year’s The Crazy Ones, Bad Teacher, We Are Men, and Friends With Better Lives were all cancelled while Mom and The Millers survived. How will The McCarthys stack up in the ratings? Will it be cancelled too or renewed for a second season? We’ll have to wait and see.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: CBS has cancelled The McCarthys, leaving four episodes unaired.
Final season averages: 1.18 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.46 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Please don’t cancel this show. My family and I LOVE it!! It’s hilarious!
I Love This SHOW !!! It is so funny !!! Please renew
Absolutely the most enjoyable new show this season, with characters full of vulnerability yet promise, delightful humor, and story lines that are closer to reality than almost any other shows. With superb acting and great casting, it shows great timing, taste and talent. To cancel it, especially while leaving the over-sexualized other comedy shows that are on, is a disservice to the TV watching population as well as the credibility of CBS. Its demise would be a viewing tragedy and a personal loss.
Renew.
This is the best new comedy on TV. The cast is great, they have great chemistry and Laurie Mercalf’s facial expressions are priceless. Come on CBS you finally, have another winner (I think Big Bang has lost some of it’s edginess.) Please renew this show.

This is the best comedy on TV. Dialogue is great. I hope they keep it on.
This is a very, very funny show. I hope it stays on.
This is a very funny show. I hope it stays on.
I’m nuts about this show! I think it’s got such a superior group of actors each with distinctive characters. That is very rare on American television. Maybe the situations could use some adjustments – but don’t tweak the characters! Don’t dump it! Even “Friends” had a rough start – growing pains.
It would be a terrible thing to lose this show! There’s nothing like it on television.
Totally agree. Love the show
I love this show and cant believe that they are wanting to cancel it. I waited for it to come on the air and watch it faithfully!
I don’t really watch sitcoms. I don’t like waiting a week for a 30 minute show that is only sometimes funny. That problem doesn’t exist with the McCarthys. When I tune in I know for a fact that I’ll be laughing for 30 minutes. Gérard and Ronny are my favorites but I love the whole family! #WeAreAllMcCarthys
My family was so disappointed to find out that the McCarthy’s wasn’t going to be on tonight!!! They are one of the BEST new show in a long time!!!! My family and I love the McCarthy’s!!! CBS has so many HORRIBLE shows that they are keeping. Big mistake CBS!! We hope they rethink their decision!!!!!
I LOVE this show! The cast is amazing. Laurie Metcalf is a genius. It is the only show that I will stop everything to watch on TV. I would really hate to see it go.
Agree 100%. This show is great! Tyler Ritter brings me back to Three’separate Company every time he opens his mouth!
