The new comedy gets the early axe.
May 10, 2014
CBS has cancelled new comedy Friends with Better Lives. The mid-season series premiered in late March and is only five episodes into its run. Ratings for the show have been average thus far but clearly not at levels the network would like to see in its time slot.
The series marks star James Van Der Beek's second failed venture into television comedy in recent years. His last series, Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23, fared better but was cancelled midway through its second season.

Are you freaking kidding me? This was a great show! It was funny and entertaining! I watch this every week! You can't cancel it! It is supposed to take place of How I met Your Mother, and previous from that Friends! It is a tradition to have a Friend type show every year! You guys are Idiots! Keep Friends with Better Lives PLEASE!!!

Wtf?!?! Why don't they even give shows a chance anymore?! Ridiculous! This show was funny! It's getting to the point where no one is going to watch shows because they are just going to get cancelled right away so why bother

I cannot believe this show is cancelled! My husband and I look forward to watching it every week. It is so funny and just really enjoyable to watch. It really wasn't given a chance to gain viewers! Really, really disappointing :(

Did Big Bang Theory start with the ratings it has now? Oh, it didn't? It had to be built up into the power-show it is today? Interesting. I wonder what would happen if you aired funny shows and then kept them around for a long enough time to get popular. When the show started, I was the only one in my office that watched it (because I was the only one that stayed with HIMYM to the painstaking end). Now everyone in my office watches FWBL - Well, did. Bad call CBS. How embarrassing for you.
