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?
My husband and I loved watching The McCarthy’s!! Love the co-dependent family dynamics and great writing. Great casting and fun episodes. Please don’t end this show!
This show always cracks me up. I wanted to see what Jackie and the family are like with the baby after she gives birth. And the wedding between Gerard and Katrina would’ve been great. Booooooo that it was canceled.
It’s such a shame that such good comedy has been canceled. My husband and I would this show together and I think that CBS made a mistake by canceling this one. Please air the remaining 4 episodes and bring it back!! We NEED good comedy!!!!! There is too much violence!! and this cast was AMAZING!!! 🙂
Love The McCarthys, other than Big Brother it’s the only thing I watch on CBS. It is a fun show, I just noticed that it was back on. Saddened to see it is only four episodes. I have to DVD it cause most Saturday night I am busy with kids. It is one show I really enjoy. Please bring it back.
I agree with everyone here — I absolutely love this show and will miss it terribly. It makes no sense to me how so many other really bad and stupid shows keep getting renewed. And I agree with the other poster about the over abundance of crime shows. Like we need yet another freaking CSI.
This show was very funny and we looked forward to watching it. Not much left on CBS to watch now.
There is so much violence on TV. All series seem to relate to police, murders, crimes, investigation. You finally put on a sitcom that is funny, great comic delivery, clever writing, and you drop it? I want to see the remaining seasons! I am so tired of the same ole same ole: NCSI, CSI, Criminal Minds, NCSI Los Angeles, NCSI New Orleans, Hawaii Five-O, NCSI-Cyber, Stalker, The Mentalist, CSI Miami, Intelligence. And this is just to name a few and these are the ones on CBS. UGH! No wonder we live in a nation where everyone thinks they deserve and… Read more »
I agree
I loved the Mccarthys and yes. I will watch all four episodes. My husband and had it DVRd and thougth it was not being aired and when I saw that it was on in July I jumped up and down like a little kid saying…the Mccarthy’s are back on …then I checked this site and found out it is just the last airing. Talk about a tease and a let down.
Please another network….pick it up. Great chemistry. I don’t know why that awful show bing bang theory made it this far.
My family and I love his show! Were these last four episodes really the end? We were hoping if there’s more, if Jackie would have her baby or the wedding between Gerald and Katrina?
We loved The McCarthy’s and were excited to see it on this week (July 2015), only to
find out that these were just leftover episodes. We want it to come back!
We love “The McCarthys” it’s a very funny show!!
Have you forgotten that how bed “Seinfeld” started out with a very LOW rating! Keep them on!!!!
Thanks

This show is great! It needs to be brought back. There have been many shows that started slow and then ended up graat. This show deverves that chance!
The McCarthys is a fresh, genuinely funny sitcom. The characters are interesting and quirky and the writing inventive. I loved watching this show. The Christmas show was brilliant. Funny with likeable off-the-wall characters. So sure. Cancel it. But keep Two Broke Girls with the two worse actresses in all creation. They stink and yet you keep them on for all the mouth breathers. For God’s sake!! Bring back The McCarthys!!!
Too bad they cancelled this funny show!! Looking forward. To the last episodes!
Please show them
this show was HILARIOUS AND YOU NEED TO BRING IT BACK!!!!!!! There ar soo many of us that could really relate to this family, including the girlfriend that did all the zingers! PLEASE give us the McCarthy’s back. how about SUNDAY night, there are very few good shows on the tube on Sundays. many of us have stopped paying for cable to save money, so having more options on TV keeps us from renting movies at redbox too.
thank you!!!!!!!

Agree too!
