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.
What do you think? Do you like The McCarthys TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
I love this show . I laugh through the entire show. I hope it is not cancelled.
I enjoy the show very Much. Please keep good comedies on CBS. I look forward to watching funny show like the Mccartheys. Please listen.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL! THIS SHOW WAS SO FUNNY & NOT SILLY AS SOME ARE. CHARACTERS WERE GREAT!
The McCarthy’s is a great show! We love all the bantering between the family members! Keep this show!!
I love that show why take it away?
bring it back!
One of the best comedies in years bring it back!
McCarthys i thought it was pretty funny been scrolling through the guide and cant seem to find it why why why
The McCarthy’s is one of the few shows that I laugh thru the whole show. No stupid sexual comments, clean jokes. My friends, family, and I will all be disappointed if it doesn’t come back for a second season. Too many reality shows and not enough sitcoms!
My partner and I both love this show. We rarely find things we like to watch together, as most couples do, so when we find a show we like, we make a date night out of it. This show, The McCarthys is one of the best new shows I’ve seen this year. I prefer more older shows and sitcoms being a child of the 90’s. But I love this show, and I want to know who I have to write to, to keep this on air. Please let me know. OMG CBS, you’ve gotta be kiddin me if you don’t… Read more »
Love the McCarthys please don’t cancel this show. I look forward to it. If I can’t watch when it’s on I put it on my DVR
Why is CBS so ignorant that the McCarthy are a great sitcom. Needs a better time slot. It needs to be brought back
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Keep the McCarthys on. Give them a chance to build up their fan base. My husband and I wait for the show. The cast is superb and so very funny. Even Two and a Half Men didn’t do well in it’s first two seasons and look what a following that show had for years. It has been a real winner for CBS for years.
Of course, we would watch the last four episodes. CBS take another look and continue this show. This show is not same old, same old.
After the Odd Couple bombs I hope it comes back!
I loved the McCarthy. best show ever and CBS is ignorant and can’t give this show a chance in a better time slot.
Love this show, definately need to RENEW!!!!!!!
Two and a half men will not be seen this year,so that we may bring you the mccarthys second season and let’s get the mccartys renewed and mom in its place programmings on television.
