It certainly didn’t look good when CBS dropped their sitcom The McCarthys from the schedule. Today, we learned that the TV series has been cancelled, leaving four episodes unaired.
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 kept The McCarthys on the air. It was the lowest-rated scripted series on the network in total viewership and had the lowest demo rating of any CBS sitcom this season — including The Millers which was dropped mid-way through its second season.
Now, The McCarthys has been cancelled as well and there’s still no word on when or if the final episodes will be shown.
What do you think? Did you like The McCarthys TV show on CBS? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second seaosn? Would you watch the four remaining episodes?
I was just checking up on all my shows and am shocked to read that this happened!!! I can’t believe this. This was such a great show, funny, witty and deliciously quick humor that you have to catch on to, to enjoy! The entire cast was so, SO GREAT! I’m so saddened and disheartened. They either should reconsider or another network pick it up—-such a great FAMILY show!
I loved The McCarthys. I am tired of cancellations before shows even get a chance.
I really like Battle Creek. Really getting into the characters and now you want to cancel it? Really?!
I enjoyed the show the McCarthy CBS should give it another shot.
I love this show it breaks my heart to think they would cancel such a great show, the writers were great and the cemistry with the actors; it’s nice to see and laugh at good clean comedy. I hate reality TV, drama, etc. I can only hope that this show is picked up by a better station.
Big Bang theory wasn’t great when it started and look where it is now. Tired of investing time with these networks and not getting to see the story line finish. Really enjoyed a different story line for a change. Loved the cast.
this is why i wont watch any new shows. you start to enjoy a show and it gets cancelled. i cannot believe that 2 broke girls is on and the the mccarthys gets cancelled. bad move cbs not that youll listen
Man, this was one of my favorite sitcoms. Topnotch ensemble of actors and a funny show with lots of potential. Boo CBS, Booooo!
This show was very funny! And the characters were great! SHAME ON NBC!!! I’m sure they will replace it with some crappy reality show because they are CHEAP TO PRODUCE!!!
and there goes another….so sick of this!
I can’t believe CBS keeps Two Broke ****** (when that comes on – I change the channel) and cancels McCarthys. I would certainly watch any unaired episodes.
My family LOVED The McCarthys. CBS should’ve given it more time. It was a very funny show. The characters were hilarious, and of course, Laurie Metcalf delivered, as usual. Stupid move on CBS’s part, in my opinion. TV is full of dumb shows these days. Buy this one was a gem.
renew rnew, renew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny show. You(CBS) should RENEW!!
The McCarthys deserves to get canceled and I knew it was coming right from the start and downright horrible. Even with the actors were using their Boston accents. Not rooting for the Patriots or the Red Sox or the Bruins or the Celtics.
