TV show description:
This multi-camera sitcom revolves around about a close-knit, sports-crazed family from Boston, the McCarthys.
Athletically challenged 29-year-old son Ronny (Tyler Ritter) gets a great opportunity to move to Rhode Island where he can join the singles scene and hopefully find a great guy to be his partner. His distraught mother, Marjorie (Laurie Metcalf), isn’t upset that her favorite son is gay, but that he wants to leave Boston and his family.
Ronny’s plans are thrown into disarray when his politically incorrect and outspoken father Arthur (Jack McGee), the head basketball coach at a local high school, wants Ronny to be his assistant.
Touched by his father’s offer, Ronny embarks on a completely different future than the one that he’d planned. This move shocks his more-than-qualified twin brothers Sean (Jimmy Dunn) and Gerard (Joey McIntyre) and their sister Jackie (Kelen Coleman) and it’s not long before they’re crying foul.
Episode #15 — End Games
The McCarthy children are sent into a frenzy when they each try to prove that they are responsible enough to be appointed executor of their parents’ will.
First aired: July 11, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like The McCarthys TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season instead?
PLEASE bring back the tv show..The McCarthy’s…the show was so funny. I can’t understand why it was canceled
Will I guess there goes the tv all the good one’s are going.
Funniest show I’ve seen on a while please bring it back
One of the most funniest shows I’ve seen in a while bring it back please.
I agree about the Real O’Neals. I think I mentioned it before. Why are they claiming people love that show? The McCarthy’s much better, funnier, and more adult.
Funny, Funny, Funny!! So sad it was cancelled. I was just looking for when it would return to TV when I saw this. The Real O’Neals stink compared to The McCarthy’s….please reconsider and bring those crazy McCarthy’s back!!!!!!!
A very adult comedy. That new show, The Real O’Neals, is not 10% as good, and I bet it stays on. What’s going on with TV these days?
The McCarthys was a great show i don’t know what that network wants but this show was very funny and should not have been cancelled.Val
This is a great show! Why did it get cancelled????
Loved The McCarthy’s why would they axe it.Bring it back
I loved this show. I don’t understand how CBS could cancel The McCarthy’s and The Millers, but renewed the Odd Couple and Two Broke Girls. Then to replace it with Life in Pieces is just poor programming. I don’t understand how so many promising and entertaining shows get the axe, while so many terrible programs live on.
I agree. This show was laugh out loud funny!!! Some of the new comedies are not any better. How are these decisions made?
I loved this show! It was so stupid to cancel it. Please reconsider bringing it back. It was a huge mistake to not nurture this concept and let the show grow into a huge success.
The McCarthys was one of the best shows on TV. It should NOT have been cancelled. CBS should have put a FAMILY show at an earlier more FAMILY FRIENDLY time slot-like 8:30 or 9:00 pm. 930 was too late for actual viewers. Everyone I know loved the show but DVR’d it because of the late time slot. Apparently, DVR does not count in the ratings. That seems like an antiquated system for gathering data.
I love this show. Why would they cancel such a funny show. It was one of the best comedies out there.
My whole family is still SO upset this comedy got canceled!!! We looked forward to it every week and it was the only reason we tuned in to the rest of the evenings line up. This was a big fail on the execs part in my opinion.
