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?
dammit, i loved the show
I LOVED this show and thought it was hysterical. Writing was great and cast was terrific in each role. Thought it would be back as a summer series but just heard from a friend that it was cancelled. I’m SO disappointed!!
I liked the McCarthy’s and would like to see the last 4 episodes
I really enjoyed the McCarthy’s
I really enjoyed the show. It was light hearted and fairly clean. My wife and I were upset to see it canceled.
Loved the McCarthy’s- thought the show was very good. My husband and I are very disappointed..
The McCarthy’s was one of the best comedies I have seen in a long time. Reality shows are a dime a dozen, and offer no creative writing skills, or entertainment, but a half hour comedy is like a breath of fresh air after a hard day at work. Please bring the MCarthy’s back.
The mccarthys was hilariouswill watch for sure just funny how some of the worst shows stay and the funny ones go understand ratings but really this one was funny the dad and mom were priceless should give it another chance
Loved that show!! How can we keep watching crap like survivor or the bachelor. Those shows suck. But this was a great show!!! It had one of the best lines ever. “That’s why you play jv “.
This was by far one of the funniest shows on tv and I am sad to hear it’s been canceled! There are some really ridiculous sitcoms still airing that should be off tv, but this one I looked forward to watching every week. Bring it back!!!
I love the show. Don’t know why it was cancelled. I would definititly watch the last 4 episodes
It’s a shame this show was cancled. The writing was so fresh and funny. In fact it was one of the funniest sitcoms on tv. I have even watched the few episodes that were aired several times and each time they are just as funny as the first. I do hope they find a way to air the episodes that haven’t been aired, would love to see them.
I find it disheartening that a mediocre show like Two Broke Girls can stay on the air and The McCarthys gets cancled, what is happening to the quality of television.
Totally agree – this was a refreshingly amusing sitcom that will sadly be missed by me! What’s wrong with the network that would cancel such a great entertaining show?
My husband and I both led the mcarthys. We were sad to see it w as cancelled. I would watch every single episode. If it wereally still on
I loved this show…Bring it back!!!
Oh please do bring the McCarthys back! It is really funny and I always look forward to the next episode! Do not cancel good shows and leave the same old boring ones instead :/
